Biographical Note:
David Ives Bushnell, Jr. (1875-1941) was educated in St. Louis, Missouri, and in Europe before joining his first anthropological expedition to northern Minnesota in 1899. From 1901-1904, he worked as an archaeological assistant at the Peabody Museum at Harvard University and continued his studies in anthropology. In addition to excavations and studies, Bushnell went to Europe in 1904 and documented North American ethnographic material held in collections and museums there. The Smithsonian hired him as a contributor to the Handbook of American Indians (1907) before appointing him editor for the Bureau of American Ethnology (1912-1921).

Photographs by Bushnell are held in National Anthropological Archives Photo Lot 141B, Photo Lot 24, Photo Lot 2522-c, Photo Lot 80-35, and the BAE historical negatives.

Correspondence from Bushnell can be found in the National Anthropological Archives in the Henry Bascom Collins, Jr. papers, John P. Harrington papers, Ales Hrdlicka papers, Bureau of American Ethnology records, and MS 4210.

The bulk of Bushnell's art collection was bequeathed to the Peabody Museum of Archaeology and Ethnology at Harvard University in 1941 and 1946 (Accession # 41-72). Some items from the Bushnell collection at the Peabody were sold to the Library and Archives Canada in 1981 and 1987 (David Ives Bushnell collection of Canadiana).
