Anthropological Collections
The anthropological collections include clothing, footwear, hunting implements and other tools collected on Donald B. MacMillan's expeditions to Greenland, Labrador, and Baffin Island between 1923 and 1954. Among other collections of interest are a collection of drawings by Alaskan Inupiat, collected in 1892-93 by missionary Harrison R. Thornton, and a large collection of East Greenland tupilaks. Recent acquisitions include this ivory carving of a woman, collected by Langdon Gibson, a member of Peary's 1891 expedition to Northwest Greenland.
