Herb Taylor

Part of Wilson Duff fonds

This file contains letters from Herb Taylor to Wilson Duff and Harry Hawthorn. In the letter to Duff, Taylor seeks feedback on a map to be included in the publication "Tribal Distribution of the Lower Northwest Coast".

The letter to Hawthorn concerns fieldwork and library research that Taylor performed under the direction of Hawthorn, as well as a list of proposed publications based on this research. In the latter, Taylor discusses extensive archaeological excavations that were undertaken on Vancouver and Quadra Islands. Taylor notes that notes and maps from the excavations were turned over to the Howay-Reid collection at UBC, with copies of fieldnotes sent to the BC Provincial Museum, the National Museum in Ottawa, and to Charles Borden at UBC. Taylor also undertook ethnological interviews with the Wei Wai Kai First Nation at Cape Mudge, and indicates that tapes were sent to Duff at the BC Provincial Museum and a report provided to Hawthorn at UBC. The research proposal for this work is included in the file, along with Taylor's curriculum vitae

Additional materials include a more detailed map of the traditional territories of First Nations along the Fraser Delta, Salish Sea, and Pacific Coast of Washington and Oregon. A bibliography for the course Anthropology 461B: Indians of the Southern Northwest Coast is also provided.
