Description
About us
Shortly after the death of Melville Jacobs in 1971, the Jacobs Research Funds began supporting anthropological and linguistic research on living Native Americans. Since 1975 to the present, hundreds of projects have been funded. Because of its relatively conservative mandate and requirement for basic research, the fund has fostered the collection of much irreplaceable data on the evolving languages and cultures of Native American peoples. The Jacobs Research Funds are a collaboration between the Whatcom Museum and the University of Washington Libraries. The museum maintains the funds and disburses awards, while the library maintains the Jacobs Fund Collection as part of its Special Collections. Grantees deposit field reports and materials at UW Libraries.
