Culin Archival Collection Series 3: Department of Ethnology 1895-1928 1903-1928 (bulk).
Consisting primarily of correspondence, financial records, and installation and exhibition documentation, this series of administrative files tracks the activities of The Brooklyn Museum's Department of Ethnology, including information on collections acquired by Culin. Reports, daily notes, and inventories provide more detailed information on some portions of the collections and Culin's activities.
Series 2 documents Culin's expeditions, through which he actively sought to develop the Native American, eastern European, and Asian collections of the Department of Ethnology at the Brooklyn Museum. The seventeen Brooklyn Museum expeditions fall into three units, each with the goal of developing comprehensive collections: Native American Cultures (1903-08, 1911, 1917); Asia (1909, 1912-13, 1913-14); and eastern Europe (1920-28). The series also documents three earlier trips made while Culin was in Philadelphia.
