Abstract
American museum anthropology began to assume its modern character in the 1890s under the aegis of Frederick Ward Putnam and Franz Boas. Field Museum curator Donald Collier and American Museum curator Harry Tschopik, Jr., writing from the perspective of half a century later, identify foundational personalities and events in the creation of the discipline and raise questions about the future of museum anthropology that remain very much alive today. This work takes stock at a critical juncture for American museum anthropology.?Eds.
