Biographical Note

In the 1930s, A.F. Whiting did extensive field research on the Hopi language and culture. His Ethnobotany of the Hopi was published in 1939, and is still recognized as the definitive work. In the 1940s Whiting lived with the Havasupai for one year, drafted a rough manuscript biography of a Hopi friend and assistant, and also prepared a multi-volume report on Indian Arts and Crafts for the U.S. Department of the Interior. After World War II he served as a United States anthropologist on Ponape in the Caroline Islands of the South Pacific, and in several other teaching and research positions before finally settling in as the long-time Curator of Anthropology at the Dartmouth College Museum. There he worked at improving the museum holdings, and in enlightening his anthropology students through innovative teaching with the occasional help of a fictitious visiting instructor, "Mr. Ka-Hopi," who served mutton stew to his "guests" while leading them into inductive insights about southwestern American Indian cultures. Whiting typically spent the summers in the Southwest, helping a selected group of students learn the intricacies of field work in other cultures, and pursuing his own wide range of research interests. Whiting's impressive professional correspondence is indicative of his attention to detail and of his generosity in sharing any information he had with other students and professionals who asked him about any topic in the areas of his expertise. He liked to take on new intellectual challenges, do meticulous and exhaustive research--of the literature as well as in the field--and then share and discuss his findings with others who were interested. This he preferred to the tedium of writing up and publishing a final product. Typically, Whiting would enthusiastically enter a project, do extremely careful and competent work resulting in massive and valuable accumulations of original information, and then drop that project in favor of some other equally attractive academic adventure. He did not ever willingly sit down and finish up his notes into a publishable report or book, and he never did complete his formal degree. On the other hand, he amassed for posterity a vast wealth of field work and related information; far more than would ordinarily be expected from any one individual researcher.

Realizing the need for organizing this wealth of ethnographic notes and papers, Whiting after twenty years at Dartmouth "retired" to his beloved Arizona to work on his massive accumulation of data, and to try to update his Ethnobotany of the Hopi. David Seaman of Northern Arizona University was assisting Whiting in several aspects of his work, and Whiting was helping Seaman with his Hopi language research. Tragically, Whiting contracted bone cancer and died at Flagstaff Medical Center on May 1, 1978, at the age of 66. He retained his wry humor to the end. His last report to the Dartmouth Anthropology Department, which he dictated to Seaman from a hospital bed three days before his death, was entitled "Final Report of an Add-Junk Professor."

Scope and Content Note

The Whiting Collection consists of over 55,000 pages of field notes and papers, preserved in 217 binders, along with some recordings. These binders are organized into the following categories: Anthropology, Botany, Santa Curz, Dartmouth, Hopi, Navajo and Apache, Southwest, Taos and New Mexico, Havasupai, and Whiting-Personal. The bulk of the collection was amassed by the late A.F. Whiting over his forty-five year career in anthropology, ethnobiology, and linguistics. The materials represent a treasure trove of original information on several southwestern Native American groups. Important field notes and related information concerning botany, linguistics, general anthropology, and the cultures of Mexico and the Santa Cruz area of southern Arizona.
