Culin Archival Collection Series 9: Brinton memorial 1875-1902 1899-1902 (bulk).

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/84593201

Series 9 relates to University of Pennsylvania Professor of Anthropology Daniel Garrison Brinton (1837-99), who was Culin's mentor and guide in the study of Native American language and mythology. After Brinton's death, Culin worked with Helen Abbott Michael (a chemist and writer associated with Brinton) and Sarah Brinton (the widow) to organize memorial observances and establish a Brinton Chair of American Archaeology and Ethnology at the University of Pennsylvania. In the course of preparing the memorial, Culin collected documentation including notes, articles, correspondence and clippings for a biography and bibliography of Brinton's works. Typescripts provide a more synthesized version of this material. Invitations, programs, resolutions and announcements for a series of memorial meetings in Philadelphia supplement the correspondence.
