From the guide to the Andrew Ellicott Douglass papers, 1867-1962, (University of Arizona Libraries, Special Collections)

Andrew Douglass was an astronomer who also worked to develop the field of dendrochronology. Using his knowledge of tree rings, he could date Native American structures.

The Douglass Library was owned by B. T. Babbitt Hyde; he loaned the collection to the University of Pennsylvania Museum. While the collection was on loan Hyde arranged to sell it to George H. Pepper. In January of 1917 Pepper purchased the collection for George G. Heye of the Museum of the American Indian.
