Rathbone, Perry Townsend, 1911-2000. Papers. 1929-1933.

Title: Papers. 1929-1933.

The Rathbone papers date from the art historian's undergraduate years (1929-33), though the papers are not dated. The collection includes artistic works (graphite and pen and ink drawings, watercolors, and a small gilded panel), a leather notebook cover and its accompanying research, or study, notes and is arranged by type. Artistic works are arranged by the Fine Arts (F.A.) class for which they were created (eg. F.A. 2a, F.A. 3c, etc.). It should be noted that "Section 2" is a title derived from the works themselves, and thus it is unclear which specific Fine Arts course number they were created for. The notes remain in original order. All the material is in good condition and has been housed in acid free folders.

Frank G. Speck papers, 1903-1950

Title: Frank G. Speck papers, 1903-1950

Anthropologist and ethnographer Frank Gouldsmith Speck was unique among Franz Boas' early graduate students at Columbia University. Unlike other ethnographers of his time who focused their studies on the Western Indian tribes, Speck chose to study the cultures of the Eastern Woodland Indians. Becoming the self-appointed salvage ethnographer for those tribes, Speck was regularly with the Indians he studied, collecting all aspects of their culture. The Frank G. Speck Papers consist of 15.5 linear feet of Speck's professional correspondence, field notes, lecture notes, and manuscripts of published and unpublished works. The material focuses on the Eastern Woodlands Indians, particularly the Catawba, Cherokee, Creek, Delaware, Houma, Iroquois, Labrador Eskimo, Mantagnais-Naskapi, Nanticoke, Penobscot, Powhatan, Algonkian, and Yuchi. The collection is divided into two subcollections: Subcollection 1 is comprised of Speck's research material and correspondence, and Subcollection 2 consists of his manuscripts and related correspondence. The two subcollections were acquired separately by the Society, and were originally cataloged as the Frank G. Speck Papers (572.97 Sp3) and the Frank G. Speck Manuscripts on Native Americans (970.3 Sp3p) respectively.
