William C. Farabee (1865-1925) was a physical and cultural anthropologist, archaeologist, and cartographer who devoted most
of his life’s work to documenting and interpreting the native cultures of South America, principally the Arawak and Carib
peoples of the Amazon basin and the native peoples of the Andes. He also conducted archaeological studies at Marajo Island,
Brazil, and at several other locations, including Peru and Ecuador. The collection consists of 5.3 linear feet of textual
and photographic documentation related principally to the Amazon expedition of the University of Pennsylvania Museum, 1913-1916,
and also to the Andean expedition of 1922-1923.
