On Dean Worcester’s Collection

After Dean Worcester’s death in 1924 and the closure of the Bureau of Non-Christian Tribes in the 1930s, the photographs in his collection—taken by Worcester, Frank Bourns, Charles Martin, and other anonymous photographers—were returned to the United States and now are held by the University of Michigan Museum of Anthropology.
