Timeline

1902

Melville Jacobs (July 3, 1902 – July 31, 1971) was an American anthropologist known for his extensive fieldwork on cultures of the Pacific Northwest.

He was born in New York City.

1928

After studying with Franz Boas he became a member of the faculty of the University of Washington in 1928 and remained until his death in 1971.

Especially during the earlier part of his career, from 1928 until 1936, he collected large amounts of linguistic data and text from a wide range of languages including Sahaptin, Molale, Kalapuya, Clackamas, Tillamook, Alsea, Upper Umpqua, Galice and Chinook Jargon.

One method of collection was by working with indigenous story tellers such as Victoria Howard, born on the Grand Ronde reservation, and audio recording and transcribing their songs and stories.

He left funds to establish the Jacobs Research Fund, which supports anthropological research in the Pacific Northwest.

His papers, including extensive raw linguistic material that has provided the basis for subsequent research on now extinct languages, are held by the University of Washington in the Jacobs Archive.

2019

In 2019, the "Melville Jacobs Collection of Native Americans of the American Northwest (1929-1939)" was selected by the Library of Congress for preservation in the National Recording Registry as "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant".

He was married to Elizabeth Jacobs, also an anthropologist.
