Upper Mississippi Valley Ethno-History Committee.

Hide Profile

The committee came out of a conference called by the University of Chicago's Social Research Committee to gather together anthropologists and historians for an inter-institutional compilation of documents relating to pre-1850 Indian-white contact in the region. The committee came to include members from universities, historical agencies, and museums in Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Michigan, Minnesota, Ohio, and Wisconsin. The committee devoted itself to compiling and inventorying primary and secondary source materials documenting pre-1850 contacts.
