Institutions Holding Complete Sets of The North
American Indian
Courtesy of Bob Kapoun - "The Uncollected Writings and Photography of Edward S. Curtis"
The original intent was to print five hundred sets of "The North American Indian", which was started in 1907, with the issue of Volume 1/Portfolio 1. Original subscribers to
The North American Indian were told it would take Curtis seven years to complete his documentation. However, it took twenty-three additional years, with Volume 20 finally printed in 1930. Because of this incredible length of time to document and print
"The North American Indian", it was evident early in the work that not all of the five hundred sets would be printed and sold. Therefore, in 1930, only 214 sets had actually been sold to original subscription holders.
The North American Indian, Inc. sold all of the existing inventory to Boston bookseller Charles Lauriat.In 1935, Lauriat was offering complete sets at a price of $885, with few buyers. It is now known that an additional fifty-eight sets sold, because the subscription lists equaled 272 names.
The following is a list of public institutions by State that own a full set of
"The North American Indian".
