A zealous missionary, Jackson established numerous missions, schools, and churches during his early work in Minnesota, the Rocky Mountains, and the Southwest. His interest in collecting things grew during this period, and by the time he went to Alaska, he had the support of the Smithsonian Institution and a display at the Princeton Theological Seminary. His successful fundraising was fueled by his public speaking abilities, his missionary newspaper ,and educat.i.onal tours to Native sites. He believed that Pmerican Indians wc,uld be better converted to Christianity if they first learned the White man's lifestyle through concrete educational experiences. JackLton hoped to avoid reservations by establishing civil government and an education system in Alaska. In 1885, Jackson was appointed as General Agent of Education for Alaska. Importing reindeer from Siberia and teaching Alaska Natives to herd them tied in with his educational goals for Alaska. He founded a vocational school at Sitka, and the Alaska Museum of Natural History and Ethnology. Jackson did his collecting by acceptable standards of the 19th century and in a relatively sensitive manner. Although his collecting methods would not measure up to today's museum practices, had he not collected, much of the state's material culture would have been irretrievably lost. Appendices present the Society of Alaskan Natural History and Ethnology constitutions and list exhibit catalogs, Jackson's memberships in societies and organizations, world expositions involving Jackson or his collections, and all known repositories of Jackson's collections.

University ofAlaska Southeast ~ Juneau • Ketchikan • Sitka January 13, 2003 Enclosed is a copy of a publication titled: A Brief History of the University of Alaska in Sitka; The First Forty Years, by David R. Knapp, December 2002. The UAS-Sitka Campus commissioned Mr. Knapp to document the history of the University of Alaska's involvement in Sitka and theSE Alaska region. It is intended to give new university personnel a brief history of the University's evolution of higher education in Sitka. It will also be valuable for the Sitka campus advisory committee members and interesting for general community readers. As the campus' second full-time director in 1972, Mr. Knapp is particularly qualified to author the document. He has researched a variety of historical communications and has interviewed all past directors, as well as other university and community individuals who have had an historical roll. It is my hope that the university community will find it to be interesting, informative, and entertaining reading. Sincerely, Redacted for Privacy John W.
