Ion Halippa (January 4, 1871, Cubolta – June 25, 1941) was a theologian, historian, archeologist, archivist and Romanian editor in Bessarabia, the elder brother of Pantelimon Halippa.^[1]

Ion Halippa was born to Nicolae and Paraschiva Halippa in Cubolta, then in the Russian Empire and now in Moldova's Raionul Sîngerei. His siblings were: Maria, Cazunia, Natalia, and Pantelimon. Ion Halippa's father was a teacher in Cubolta village, Soroca County. His mother was the daughter of the priest from Vozdu village, which was also located in the Soroca County. Ion Halippa attended the primary school in Cubolta after which, at his father's request, the spiritual school in Edineț, the theological seminary in Chișinău and the theological academy in Kiev. After graduation, in 1895, he returned to the province capital of Bessarabia and was hired as an assistant to the inspector of the seminary in Chișinău. He also made a substantial contribution in the field of archeology.^[2]

Ion Halippa is the author of several archaeological maps of Bessarabia. As head of the Scientific Government Commission of the Bessarabian Archives (founded in 1898 under the title "The Scholars Commission of the Bessarabian Archives"^[3]), he co-authored the monumental three-volume work The Works of the Province Archives Scientific Commission of Bessarabia, 1900, 1902, 1907, a scientific compilation related to historical data on Bessarabia, were placed in the Russian archives, for the first time were made available to researchers in a scientific format. During the Russian Revolution of 1905, Ion Halippa was one of the revolutionary activists from Chișinău who fought to the return to Bessarabia the status before the Treaty of Bucharest (1812). For this reason he was deported to Russia in (officially "transferred" to Novomoskovsk, Ekaterinoslav region) in 1905–1907 and again, in 1910, he was transferred to one of the prefectures within the empire – in Berdyansk.^[4] In 1938, historian Ion Halippa was dismissed from the position of school inspector.^[5] In 1940, after the Soviet occupation of Bessarabia and northern Bukovina, he was deported again, by the USSR authorities. Although there is no evidence in the archives, there is widespread belief that Ion Halippa together with his son Constantin, were killed in 1941 by the NKVD, when were placed in the work camp in Zaporizhia, Ukraine.
