Biographical Note
Frank Spencer was born in Chatham, England, on May 1, 1941. Best known as a historian of biological anthropology and for his book Piltdown: A Scientific Forgery (1990), Spencer began his career as a medical laboratory technician, publishing two books on medical laboratory procedures in 1970 and 1972. He immigrated to Canada, where he earned his BA in anthropology at the University of Windsor in Ontario in 1973. The following year, he enrolled at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, with C. Loring Brace as his advisor. Spencer wrote his dissertation on the life and career of Aleš Hrdlička and was awarded his PhD in biological anthropology in 1979. That same year he joined the faculty of the Department of Anthropology at Queens College as an assistant professor and was soon promoted to department chair in 1984. Over the course of his career, he wrote and edited several books on the history of physical anthropology including A History of Physical Anthropology, 1930-1980 (1992), The Origins of Modern Humans: A World Survey of the Fossil Evidence (1984), Ecce Homo: An Annotated Bibliographic History of Physical Anthropology (1986), and History of Physical Anthropology: An Encyclopedia (1997). Spencer was also a co-founder and editor of the Physical Anthropology News bulletins. It was his book Piltdown: A Scientific Forgery, however, that garnered him the most attention. In this book, he theorized that the well- respected Sir Arthur Keith master-minded the Piltdown hoax. On May 30, 1999 Frank Spencer died of cancer at the age of 58.

Scope and Contents
This collection documents the research and professional activities of anthropologist Frank Spencer through his correspondence, manuscripts, notes, research files, teaching materials, photographs, and audiotapes. As a historian of physical anthropology, Spencer did a great deal of archival research. Well- represented in the collection is Spencer's research on the Piltdown hoax as well as the Piltdown research of Ian Langham, whose work Spencer continued after Langham's death in 1984. Among the materials collected are negatives of Piltdown-related papers and negatives of Sir Arthur Keith's papers held at the Royal College of Surgeons. Spencer, who theorized that Keith was behind the Piltdown hoax, had organized his papers with a grant from Wenner-Gren. Also represented in the collection is Spencer's research on the life and career of Aleš Hrdlička for his dissertation. Although most of Hrdlička's papers and photos that Spencer collected are copies of materials held at the National Anthropological Archives (NAA), the collection does contain original correspondence between Hrdlička and his first wife, Marie Strickler; his childhood report card from 1869; and copies of family photos obtained from Lucy Miller, Hrdlička's niece. The collection also contains an audio recording of Hrdlička speaking at Wistar Institute. Spencer's 1975 taped interviews with Henry Collins, Harry Shapiro, Ashley Montagu, and Lucille St. Hoyme can also be found in the collection. Other projects represented in the collection include A History of Physical Anthropology: An Encyclopedia, The Origins of Modern Humans: A World Survey of the Fossil Evidence, and Fallen Idols, Spencer's unpublished book on the history of scientific attitudes towards human origins. In addition, the collection contains copies of Physical Anthropology News, which Spencer co-founded and edited. Photos in the collection include images of Frank Spencer as well as of the 1981 and 1988 annual meetings of the Association of American Physical Anthropologists (AAPA) and the 1980 symposium Spencer and Noel T. Boaz organized on the history of American physical anthropology.
Please note that the contents of the collection and the language and terminology used reflect the context and culture of the time of its creation. As an historical document, its contents may be at odds with contemporary views and terminology and considered offensive today. The information within this collection does not reflect the views of the Smithsonian Institution or National Anthropological Archives, but is available in its original form to facilitate research.

Page 10 of 77 Series 2: Piltdown Frank Spencer Papers NAA.2002-21
Series 2: Piltdown, 1836-1997 5.35 Linear feet (12 boxes and 2 oversize folders) Spencer became interested in the Piltdown hoax while working on his dissertation after coming across a suggestive letter between Aleš Hrdlička, who was suspicious of the Piltdown specimens, and Sir Arthur Keith. Spencer began to research Keith's involvement in the Piltdown dig and specimen study, but in 1983 he learned that another researcher, a man named Ian Langham from the History and Philosophy of Science Program at Sydney University, was also pursuing the same topic and the same suspect. Spencer believed that Langham would soon publish his theory, and he backed away from his research until Langham's sudden death in 1984. At that time, Spencer took over his project and, with the cooperation of Langham's widow and colleagues, extended Langham's research and published their theory in 1990 in Piltdown: A Scientific Forgery. An accompanying volume of primary documents, The Piltdown Papers 1908-1955: The correspondence and other documents relating to the Piltdown Forgery, was also published.
This series contains correspondence, research notes and materials (including newspaper clippings, publications, letters, and other Piltdown documents), and papers related to the publication of the two Piltdown books—drafts, edits, press releases, and reviews. In 1983 Spencer received a grant from the Wenner-Gren Foundation to prepare the Sir Arthur Keith (SAK) papers at the Royal College of Surgeons (RCS), and thus also included are papers related to this project. Boxes 12-14 contain copies of scholarly and popular press articles related to Piltdown, arranged chronologically by Langham and Spencer. Some are annotated, and there are some pages of notes by Spencer and Langham interfiled. Other materials of special interest in the series are a movie script based on Spencer's Piltdown: A Scientific Forgery and a copy of an advance uncorrected proof of The Piltdown Confession, a novel by Irwin Schwartz.
The correspondence within this series primarily pertains to Piltdown research and book publication, but also includes some correspondence not related to Piltdown (regarding other projects on which Spencer was working during the same years). Included are a few letters between Ian Langham and Spencer, correspondence related to the transfer of Langham's research to Spencer after his death, and letters of Langham given to Spencer.
Since Spencer incorporated Langham's research into his books, many of the research notes and documents were prepared and annotated by Langham. In order to help researchers, some of the folders are marked "IL" and/or "FS" in order to distinguish Spencer's notes from Langham's. There are also handwriting samples in box 7, directly following the correspondence. Some of Langham's Piltdown correspondence is also included, as well as some of Langham's papers concerning other research projects, including work related to his dissertation for his PhD in the History of Science from Princeton University on British social anthropology (later published in 1981 as "The Building of British Social Anthropology") and biographical information about him.
Additional materials relating to Spencer's Piltdown research can be found in Series 7: Subject Files, Series 13: Photographs, and Series 14: Audiotapes. Please also see Series 5: Projects, Sub-series 5.1: Brixham Cave Project.
This series is arranged by topic. Documents within folders are arranged chronologically, with undated documents at the back. Correspondence is arranged alphabetically by correspondent.

Page 23 of 77 Series 3: Aleš Hrdlička Frank Spencer Papers NAA.2002-21
Series 3: Aleš Hrdlička, 1866-1867, 1893-1942, 1971-1981, 1994-1999 4.39 Linear feet (3 boxes, 1 map folder, and 1 oversize folder) This series contains materials on Aleš Hrdlička that Spencer compiled for his dissertation, "Aleš Hrdlička, MD (1869-1943): A Chronicle of the Life and Work of an American Physical Anthropologist," published in 1979. Along with biographical information about Hrdlička, the series contains Hrdlička's correspondence, writings, and photographs. While most of the correspondence and photographs are copies of materials held at the NAA, a few are original documents, including correspondence between Hrdlička and his first wife, then fiancée, Marie Strickler. Also in this series are materials on Franz Boas as well as Boas's personal and professional letters, some of which include his correspondence with Hrdlička. With the pressures of finishing his dissertation, Spencer was unable to provide as full a treatment of Hrdlička's life as he would have liked and planned to return to the subject at a later time. Thus, this series also contains a 1981 outline for his proposed book on Hrdlička.
In Series 12: Card Files is a subject card index to Hrdlička's papers which Spencer created to aid his research. Please also see Series 8: Coded Files, Series 13: Photographs, and Series 14: Audiotapes for more materials relating to Hrdlička. Hrdlička's 1869 report card can be found in folder "CK-1" in Series 8: Coded Files. A microfilm version of Spencer's dissertation is available at the NAA.

Series 4: Encyclopedia, 1911-1999 (bulk 1991-1998) 3.13 Linear feet (8 boxes) In 1991, Spencer began work on A History of Physical Anthropology: An Encyclopedia, which was originally to be published by Garland in 1994. Due to delays, however, it was not published until 1997.
This series primarily contains correspondence (1991-1998) between Frank Spencer and Garland, the contributors to his publication, and other individuals whom Spencer contacted to verify or supply data. In addition, there are draft entries, illustrations, research notes, and biographical information collected by Dr. Spencer for use in the encyclopedia.
For additional materials relating to the encyclopedia, please see Series 11: Notebooks, Series 13: Photographs, and Series 5: Projects, Sub-series 5.7: Fallen Idols.

Series 5: Projects, 1858-1884, 1897-1909, 1919-1929, 1939-1999 (bulk 1982-1995) 2.85 Linear feet (6 boxes and 1 oversize folder) This series is organized by projects undertaken by Spencer throughout his career. In the late '80s and early '90s, Frank Spencer fastidiously researched the Brixham cave affair, believing it to be a predecessor to the Piltdown hoax. Another project is Fallen Idols, his unpublished book on the history of scientific attitudes towards human origins. Copies of the Physical Anthropology News, which Spencer co-founded and edited, are also contained in this series. The illustrations in this series are unidentified and may belong to different projects. Correspondence and questionnaires for Spencer's research on Crohn's disease are restricted.
Additional materials relating to his projects can be found in Series 8: Coded Files and Series 11: Notebooks.
This series is arranged in 11 sub-series: (5.1) Brixham Cave Project, 1858-1884, 1897-1901, 1929, 1939-1942, 1954-1962, 1977-1998; (5.2) American Journal of Physical Anthropology—Jubilee Issue, 1981; (5.3) Anthropometry and Photography, 1909, 1981-1990; (5.4) Chromosomes, 1970-1973; (5.5) Crohn's Disease, 1976-1995; (5.6) Ecce Homo, 1983-1986; (5.7) Fallen Idols, 1991-1998; (5.8) French Anthropology, 1919-1927, 1980-1990; (5.9) Manuscripts & Papers, 1942-1998; (5.10) Illustrations, 1964-1966, 1992-1999; (5.11) Miscellaneous Projects, 1968-1969, 1982-1997

Series 7: Subject Files, 1863-1999 (bulk 1980-1998) 5.42 Linear feet (13 boxes) This series contains various articles, manuscripts, bibliographies, research proposals, and notes collected by Dr. Spencer for research and reference. Topics vary from physical anthropology and epidemiology to philosophy and biographical sketches. Many are not dated, but it is safe to say that Spencer began this collection shortly after his graduate school days (approximately 1980) and continued up to his death in 1999. Of special interest in this series are poems by C. Loring Brace.
See also Series 8: Coded Files for further reference materials collected by Spencer.

Series 8: Coded Files, 1836-1983 (bulk 1970-1983) 5.6 Linear feet (13 boxes and 1 oversize folder) These files were created during the 1970s and early 1980s when Spencer was first enrolled in graduate school at the University of Michigan and teaching simultaneously, and then in his first years teaching at Queens College. The papers cover many different topics, including contemporary physical and biological anthropology and the history of physical anthropology. Materials relating to Aleš Hrdlička are spread throughout this series. "CK-1" contains Hrdlička's 1869 report card. Some of the materials were annotated by Spencer. Also included are photocopied letters, manuscripts by Spencer and others, and Spencer's notes.
The coded files themselves were created in roughly chronological order, with papers on sometimes disparate topics grouped together. Within each folder, documents are organized chronologically, with undated materials at the end. The organizational key is the card file in Boxes 62 and 63, which is arranged alphabetically by subject and author.

Series 13: Photographs, 1885-1990 (bulk 1980-1990) 4.1 Linear feet (11 boxes) This series contains prints, negatives, and slides for Spencer's research and publications. The slides and negatives are stored separately from the prints. Photographs of Spencer can be found in this series along with photos of conferences he attended, including the annual meeting of the AAPA held in Detroit in 1981, the 1988 AAPA meeting in Kansas City, and the 1980 symposium at the University of Virginia, Charlottesville, that Spencer and Noel T. Boaz organized on the history of American physical anthropology. "CK-1" contains an assortment of photos including prints of a 1939 AAPA meeting, Henry Collins on Nunivak Island, and Aleš Hrdlička's family photos. The slides were most likely used for teaching purposes and presentations. Slides for Spencer's course on the history of anthropology contain photographs of several important figures in anthropology. The negatives in boxes 89-91 are most likely photos of Sir Arthur Keith's papers.
This series is arranged in 2 sub-series: (13.1) Prints, 1885-1990; (13.2) Negatives & Slides, 1918, 1966-1988
Boxes 89-91 contain 69 rolls of negatives that were cut and individually sleeved. Numbers were arbitrarily assigned to each roll by the processing archivist. The numbers in the brackets written on the negative envelopes refer to the roll the strips of negatives originally came from.

Series 14: Audiotapes, 1942, 1961, 1975-1976, 1998 (bulk 1975) 0.71 Linear feet (1 box containing 51 audio tapes) In 1975, Spencer spent time at the NAA conducting research for his dissertation. As an alternative to ordering photocopies, Spencer made recordings of himself reading aloud from Hrdlička's papers as well as documents from the NAA's microfilm copy of the Franz Boas Papers held at the American Philosophical Society. In addition to these recordings, this series includes Spencer's interviews and conversations with Harry Shapiro, Henry Collins, Ashley Montagu, and Lucille St. Hoyme, and a recording of Hrdlička speaking at the Wistar Institute in 1942. Also in this series are audiotapes produced from Spencer's early research on the Piltdown hoax.
