Dorothy Borg (September 4, 1902 Elberon, New Jersey – October 25, 1993 New York City) was an American historian specializing in American-East Asian relations. Although she did not hold faculty appointments, her multi-archival and assiduous scholarship set high standards and her organization of international scholarly cooperation and exchange influenced the field of American history of foreign relations. Her research focused mainly on United States relations with China in the decades between World War I and the arrival in power of the Chinese Communist Revolution in 1949.[1][2][3]
