Date:

Scope and Contents:

Includes title page and a sketch. Manuscript consists of ethnographic notes by Charles H. Townsend and H. F. Moore (whose names appear at the top of each page) of the U. S. Fish Commission.

Local Numbers:

NAA MS 4838

Local Note:

Prints of photographs taken during the expedition are in the archives (uncatalogued). Some of the negatives, numbering (not always consecutively) from approximately 40060 to to 40300, are on file in the MNH and MHT photo labs; records show that negatives 40015-40021 were destroyed in 1951.

Although a note with the manuscript seemed to indicate that it had been microfilmed, no microfilm was located in 1969 and no related manuscripts were found.

Scope and Contents note:

The majority of the collection documents Northwest Coast scenery, people, and settlements; these include photographs made by Franz Boas during US Fish Commission expeditions on the USS Albatross, as well as engravings made for publications on Northwest Coast Natives by Franz Boas and Albert Parker Niblack. Another large portion of the collection consists of reference prints relating to Native Americans, Ainu people and Japan, Polynesia, the Philippines, Bonin Islands, and Peru. Many of these were copied from the central negative file of the National Museum of Natural History as well as other museums. There are also photographs, many by C. H. Townsend, made during the Fish Commission expeditions to Puerto Rico on the USS Fish Hawk and some taken by N. B. Mills during an expedition that traveled on the USS Albatross to Baja California and the Galapagos Islands.
