Preferred Citation American Museum of Natural History, Laufer China Expedition Collection, Mss. E973. - Page 3 - Laufer China Expedition Collection Historical Note The American Museum of Natural History's 1901-1904 Expedition to China was one of the first American attempts to study the history and culture of a literate, technologically sophisticated civilization. Led by Berthold Laufer, the expedition was intended to be a holistic anthropological study, documenting the industrial and social life of the Chinese people. Laufer's work encompassed ethnology, archaeology and physical anthropology; his collections included books, paintings, inscriptions, bas-reliefs, bronzes, pottery, metal mirrors, theater puppets, and musical transcriptions. Biographical Note Berthold Laufer was born on October 11, 1874 in Cologne, Germany. He received his Ph.D. from the University of Leipzig in Asian languages in 1897; his dissertation was on Tibetan text. His interest in East Asia led him to study at least ten different languages. In May of 1897, Franz Boas of the American Museum offered Laufer a position on the Museum's Jesup North Pacific Expedition staff. The Jesup Expedition was organized by the Museum to determine the relationship between the peoples of Asia and North America. Teams of archaeologists and ethnologists were sent to both sides of the Pacific for the study. Laufer was hired to lead the team working in the area of the Amur River and on Sakhalin Island in Siberia. He arrived on Sakhalin Island in July of 1898 and remained there through the winter of 1899. While in Siberia, Laufer studied the Gilyak, Tungus (Evenki) and the Ainu. In March 1899, Laufer moved inland to Khabarovsk on the Amur River to study the Goldi (Nanai). Laufer was particularly intrigued by the art of the Goldi and their neighbors and made an excellent collection for the Museum. In total, Laufer collected over 1300 objects for the Museum while in Siberia and Japan. Upon his return, Laufer completed his only publication relating to the Jesup Expedition on the art of the Amur tribes. After the Jesup Expedition, Laufer quickly returned to the Far East to lead the Jacob H. Schiff Expedition to China from 1901 to 1904. Jacob Schiff (1847-1920) was a wealthy banker and the leader of the American Jewish community from 1880 to 1920. Laufer's goal for the expedition was a holistic one - to study the history and culture of the Chinese people. Laufer collected over 7500 objects for the Museum as part of the expedition, roughly half of the Museum's total Chinese collections today. In 1908, Laufer left New York and the American Museum to take up the position of curator of Asian Anthropology at the Field Museum of Natural History in Chicago, where he would spend the rest of his scholarly career. While at the Field Museum he undertook two more trips to the Far East; in 1908-1910 to Tibet and China as leader of the Blackstone Expedition and in 1923, again to China, on the Marshall Field Expedition. - Page 4 - Laufer China Expedition Collection In his lifetime, Laufer authored over two hundred works on topics ranging from philology to art and archaeology. He died in Chicago on September 13, 1934. SOURCES Stanley A. Freed, Ruth S.

  • Anthropological Regionalism at the American Museum of Natural History, 1895–1945
    52 Ira Jacknis: ‘America Is Our Field’: Anthropological Regionalism at the American Museum of Natural History, 1895–1945 ‘America Is Our Field’: Anthropological Regionalism at the American Museum of Natural History, 1895–1945 *Ira Jacknis Abstract This article outlines the regional interests and emphases in anthropological collection, research, and display at the American Museum of Natural History, during the first half of the twentieth century. While all parts of the world were eventually represented in the museum’s collections, they came from radically different sources at different times, and for different reasons. Despite his identity as an Americanist, Franz Boas demonstrated a much more ambitious interest in world-wide collecting, especially in East Asia. During the post-Boasian years, after 1905, the Anthropology Department largely continued an Americanist emphasis, but increasingly the museum’s administration encouraged extensive collecting and exhibition for the Old World cultures. For the most part, these collections and exhibits diverged from anthropological concerns, expressing imperialist messages, biological documentation, or artistic display. In thus constituting the ‘stuff’ of an anthropology museum, one can trace the transvaluation of objects, the importance of networks, institutional competition, and the role of disciplinary definitions. Keywords: museum, anthropology, collecting, exhibition, culture areas, American Museum of Natural History Almost by definition, the great metropolitan natural history museums were founded on a problematic relationship to a distant ‘field.’ Wandering through their halls, the visitor is confronted by cultures that are usually far away in space and time.1 As they were developed in the nineteenth century, these natural history museums, parallel to the art museums (Duncan and Wallach 1980), adopted Enlightenment schemes of universal survey.

  • Berthold Laufer 1874–1934 Anthropologist, Sinologist, Curator, and Collector
    Berthold Laufer 1874–1934 Anthropologist, Sinologist, Curator, and Collector Berthold Laufer, one of the most accomplished sinologists of the early twentieth century, was born in Cologne, Germany, to Max Laufer and his wife, Eugenie (neé Schlesinger). He was educated at the Friedrich Wilhelms Gymnasium in Cologne and attended Berlin University (1893–95) before he received his doctorate from the University of Leipzig in 1897. During his training he studied a range of Asian languages and cultures, from Persian and Sanskrit to Tibetan and Chinese. At the suggestion of anthropologist Franz Boas (1858–1942), Laufer accepted a position at the American Museum of Natural History in New York City in 1898, from where he joined the Jesup North Pacific Expedition (1898–99) to Siberia, Alaska, and the northwest coast of Canada as an ethnographer. He led his first collecting expedition to China for the museum from 1901 to 1904. In 1908 Laufer moved to Chicago, Illinois, and worked at the Field Museum of Natural History, where he ultimately headed the Department of Anthropology. Laufer remained at the Field for the rest of his career. He led two more expeditions to China—the Blackstone Expedition of 1908–10 and the Marshall Field Expedition of 1923—and consequently formed one of the earliest comprehensive collections of Chinese material culture in the United States. During his first expedition, Laufer acquired more than 19,000 archaeological, ethnographic, and historical objects that span the period from 6000 BCE to 1890 CE. He collected an additional 1,800 objects during the 1923 expedition. Laufer also compiled extensive field reports, took photographs during these trips, and engaged in detailed correspondence with other specialists about his movements, contacts, and purchases.

He entered the University of Berlin in 1893 and received his doctorate at the University of Leipzig in 1897. He concentrated on Asian languages, studying Se- mitic, Persian, Sanskrit, Malay, Chinese. Japa- nese, Manchu, Mongolian, Dravidian. and Tibet- an. It may be that his necessarily brief studies gave him only moderate familiarity with many of these, but by 1897 he had acquired a fluent read- ing knowledge of Chinese, Japanese, Manchu, Mongolian, and Tibetan as well as most European languages, including Russian. He could speak many of these, too, and could write well in French and English as well as German. He was 23 years old when he finished at Leipzig.

SPENCER Any opinions expressed in this memoir are those of the author(s) and do not necessarily reflect the views of the National Academy of Sciences. Biographical Memoir COPYRIGHT 1987 NATIONAL ACADEMY OF SCIENCES WASHINGTON D.C. LESLIE SPIER December 13, 1893—December 3, 1961 BY ROBERT F. SPENCER QUARTER CENTURY has gone by since Leslie Spier's A death. Yet he remains a major figure in American an- thropology: references to his scholarship are widely made, and his influence is still strongly felt. However hesitantly, I cannot help but begin this memoir with a personal note. In preparing to write this summary, I went of course to the various sources of information on Spier—not only the professional obituary appearing shortly after his passing1 but also to the lecture notes I had taken as a student in his courses at the University of New Mexico in 1939—40. A second-year graduate student in anthropology, I had enrolled in his course, "Culture Provinces of Western North America." I recall the rather anxious discussions, re- flecting then as now graduate student paranoia, attempts to grasp precisely what it was that Spier was expounding. House types, cradle boards, clothing and footgear, containers, trans- port, and so through a host of highly factual listings of the elements—material, social, and religious—that make up the cultural systems of western native American peoples. What were we, as students, expected to do with such detail? Was it 1 Harry W.

  • (Re)Presenting Geopolitical and National Identities and at the Same Time, Demonstrating the Fluidity and Contestations of These Constructs1
    In my recent curatorial work, archives play a central role in (re)presenting geopolitical and national identities and at the same time, demonstrating the fluidity and contestations of these constructs1. I experience archives as conflicted sites and my interest, therefore, has been in exploring their inherent anomalies and impressions and in building contemporary narratives out of their historical slippages and indexical absences. In other words, my work attends to what the archives, either willfully or unconsciously, have mis- represented or have failed to address in their content and descriptions. This paper presents a case study that tries to illustrate how porous the bond is between two different epistemological regimes: the emphasis that is placed on visuality in terms of the art historical collections, and the act of labeling by the archive. In order to show this, I will touch upon collections representing two sculptors, Malvina Hoffman (1885–1966) and Sergey Merkurov (1881–1952) who both passed through the studio of Auguste Rodin (1840–1917). I came to this case study through my findings in the archival collection of American sculptor Malvina Hoffman. Housed at the Getty Research Institute (GRI),2 this archive is well-researched due to her body of work produced in the early 1930s for the Hall of the Races of Mankind exhibition3 (1933) at The Field Museum of Natural History in Chicago.4 The Museum, under the 1 This text was initially written as part of the 2017 Getty Consortium Seminar “Art and Anthropology: The Agency of Objects,” led by Professor Susan Dackerman.
