Collection Creator Biography:

Princeton University. Department of Anthropology

The Department of Anthropology was created in 1971. The department specializes in socio-cultural anthropology, and offers a B.A. in anthropology, a certificate in Ethnographic Studies, and a Ph.D. in anthropology.

Princeton offered a course in cultural anthropology from 1946 through 1965, first as part of the Department of Economics and Social Institutions, and after 1960, as part of the new Department of Sociology and Anthropology. The separate Program in Anthropology was created in 1965, and first directed by Professor Cyril Black. When Anthropology became a department in 1971, its first chair was Martin Silverman.
