ANTHROPOLOGY

OK, OK, an anthropologist this webmaster is not. But the disciplinary boundaries of sociology and anthropology have considerable overlap, which is why the fields are so often lumped together within the same academic department. For the most complete collection of organized links, one might first stop by either Anthro.Net or Richard Robbins' A Guide to Internet Resources in Resources. Another site worth visiting is Texas A&M's "Anthropology in the News," which is updated daily and includes archives of earlier stories.  Even the Internet is fair game for anthropological study--check out Cyberanthropology.org for virtual seminars and databases.  If some of the terminology is new to you there is an Anthropology Glossary online. For biographies of key figures in the history of the discipline check out the "Anthropology Biography Web" from Minnesota State University, Mankato.  And to search search for any author, name, subject, or cultural group written about in the American Anthropologist  from 1888 through 2000,  take advantage of the American Anthropology Journal Archive Project.

In the summer of 2001 a real gold mine was put online by the California Academy of Sciences Department of Anthropology: a database of 18,000 records and over 6,000 images. As described by Dinah Crawford, curatorial assistant: "The focus of our collection is on the indigenous cultures of North America (exclusive of Mexico) and the Pacific Rim, including all Pacific islands and East Asia. Current strengths of the collection are general holdings from the U.S. Southwest and the Pacific Islands, and basketry from California. Earlier years of collecting have yielded both ethnographic and archaeological materials from East Africa, the Middle East, Europe, and Central and South America."
