Daniel Albert Baugh (born 10 July 1931 in Philadelphia) is "seen as the definitive historian of [British] naval administration."^[1] Baugh has defined his own contribution in explaining "My research field is mainly England, 1660-1840. By studying administration chiefly in terms of administrative problems, I hope to improve our understanding of both the nature of society and the development of government.".^[2] After 1982 he focused his attention on maritime, naval and geopolitical history.

Early life and education

The son of Albert Croll Baugh (born 1891), a professor of English Literature, and his wife Nita Scudder Baugh, Daniel Baugh attended the University of Pennsylvania, where he earned his Bachelor of Arts degree in 1953. In 1954, he was commissioned in the United States Navy and served for three years, rising to the rank of lieutenant. In 1955, he married Carol Allen Baugh, and together they had three children. Before completing his naval service in 1957 he earned his Master of Arts degree from the University of Pennsylvania. Moving on to Cambridge University, Baugh earned his Doctor of Philosophy degree at the University of Cambridge in 1961 with his thesis, completed under the supervision of John Ehrman, on British naval administration in the War of 1739-48.

Academic career

In 1961, Princeton University appointed Baugh to history instructor, and in 1964, assistant professor of history . In 1969, the Cornell University Department of History appointed him associate professor and he remained at Cornell until his retirement.

Baugh received a Social Science Research Council Grant in 1966-67, a National Endowment for the Humanities fellowship in 1977-78 and a fellowship at the Shelby Cullom Davis Center, Princeton University, 1982-83.

In 2011, the National Maritime Museum, Greenwich awarded him its Caird Medal in recognition of his distinguished career of scholarship on eighteenth century British naval history.
