http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/726880299

The Cornelius Osgood Albums consist of two photograph albums of images taken during the field work of anthropologist Cornelius Osgood. One album is titled "People of Anvik, 1956," that also includes photographs taken during the 1930s. Identifications are included for all the photographs in this album. The other album contains photographs taken in northern Canada and possibly in parts of Alaska taken in the 1920s and 1930s. Subjects include indigenous people, village scenes, boats, and related subjects. These images may come from Osgood's 1928 employment with the Canadian government to conduct research on the Athapaskan Indians living in the northwest American interior. This trip is described in Osgood's book "Winter."
