Lydia Tederick is a former White House curator. She arrived in the White House's curatorial office in 1979 and first served as an assistant curator before becoming the eighth White House curator.[1][2] She had a special focus on the history and workings of the First Ladies as well as the care of the White House's portraits.[3][4] As curator, however, she was also responsible for research into questions about other Washington, DC statues and sculptures such as the Pierre-Jean David d’Angers statue of Thomas Jefferson, a gift from Uriah Phillips Levy.[5][6]
Tederick received her Bachelor of Arts in art history and political science from Northern Arizona University and a Master of Arts in museum studies in 1980 from George Washington University.[7]
