(Bulk: 1898-1960)
Extent: 16 linear feet
The American Section was one of the first to evolve during the early development of the Museum of Archaeology and Anthropology.
The University Archaeological Association established in 1887 and later, the American Exploration Society, established in
1892, exhibited several small collections in College Hall before the building campaign for the museum began. Charles Abbott
was the first curator of the section succeeded by Henry C. Mercer and then Stewart Culin who was also named Director in 1899.
Each succeeding curator was responsible for adding collections, many of them representing their own expeditions in the United
States, Alaska, Mexico, Central America and South America. Records in the files are dated from 1826 through the 1980s. The
transfer of materials to the Archives took place piecemeal and without a central organization. The current re-processing placed
the files into three series, Deaccessions and Loans, Collectors and Collections and Exhibits.

Extent: 0.4 linear feet (1 box)
This collection consists of three scrapbooks compiled by Arthur Cartwright, a British soldier who served in India under the

depict aspects of his life in a military camp and attest to the sightseeing Cartwright embarked upon throughout northern India
and especially in Agra. Most of the photographs in these three albums are captioned.
