This file contains a letter and attached report written by Wilson Duff at the request of Barrie Reynolds, chief ethnologist at the National Museum of Man [Canadian Museum of History]. The contents relate to the valuation of a collection of Northwest Coast cultural belongings and other items that a Mr. Birmingham intended to sell to the museum. Duff provides an overarching analysis of the collection and comments on the discrepancies between (1) museum valuation and its emphasis on ethnological information, and (2) an art market in which investors view objects and belongings based on aesthetic qualities and their potential as investment pieces.

This file contains a letter to Wilson Duff, written by Carol F. Jopling, requesting reference letters from Duff in order to apply for funding from the American Philosophical Society and the Arctic Institute of North America. Also included are Jopling's application materials. As discussed in the letter, Jopling sought funding to study Nuu-chah-nulth and Kwakwaka'wakw coppers. She expresses an interest in connecting these to slaves and unsubstantiated claims about cannibalism among these peoples. She also proposes to look into the importance of sea otters as seen in the symbolism of material culture.

Application materials suggest a different research interest, specifically looking at the material and technology used in producing these coppers to substantiate whether copper production was a local innovation or of European import.
