Tue Diversity OF LIFE IS EXTRAORDINARY. THERE ARE SAID
TO BE A MILLION OR SO DIFFERENT KINDS OF LIVING ANIMALS, AND HUNDREDS OF
THOUSANDS OF KINDS OF PLANTS.

BUT WE DON'T NEED TO THINK OF THE WORLD AT LARGE. IT IS
AMAZING ENOUGH TO STOP AND LOOK AT A FOREST OR AT A MEADOW — AT THE
GRASS AND TREES AND CATERPILLARS AND HAWKS AND DEER.

HOW DID ALL OF THESE DIFFERENT KINDS OF THINGS COME
ABOUT; WHAT FORCES GOVERNED THEIR EVOLUTION; WHAT FORCES MAINTAIN THEIR
NUMBERS AND DETERMINE THEIR SURVIVAL OR EXTINCTION; WHAT ARE THEIR RELA-
TIONS TO EACH OTHER AND TO THE PHYSICAL ENVIRONMENT IN WHICH THEY LIVE?

THESE ARE THE PROBLEMS OF NATURAL HISTORY, PROBLEMS
THAT CONCERN OURSELVES AS ANIMALS AND THAT CONCERN US EVEN MORE AS
ORIGINATORS OF THIS THING CALLED CIVILIZATION — WHICH IS, AFTER ALL, MERELY A

RATHER SPECIAL SORT OF AN ANIMAL COMMUNITY.

MARSTON BATES, 7HE NATURE OF NATURAL HISTORY

THE
OBJECTS OF
OUR
AFFECTION

Pictured in this report
are a few dozen of the
nearly 20 million
natural history
specimens and
cultural artifacts in the
Field Museum
collections, along with
a very few of the staff
members, volunteers,
contributors, and
visitors who make
these inert objects
come alive.

INTRODUCTION

Every large organization lives with a verbal shorthand that compresses
complex ideas or experience into a word or phrase. This seems inevitable, and the
Field Museum is no exception to the rule. What should not be inevitable is that we
fail to explain ourselves when we communicate with our friends.

Among the Museum’s most pervasive buzzwords are systematics and
cultural understanding. Between them, they represent a large part of what we are about
as an institution — the kind of research we do and the ethos that governs our
educational work. In this report we’ve tried to illuminate those concepts. I hope that
through them readers will gain a better understanding of the special role the Museum
plays in basic science, environmental education, and human relations.

As I conclude my term as chairman of the Museum’s Board of Trustees,
I want to thank my colleagues, the Museum staff and volunteers, the Chicago Park
District, and our public, corporate, and individual donors for helping prepare the
ground for the Museum’s second century.

In this regard, I should call attention to one fact that pops out of the
financial figures in this report. In 1990, unrestricted contributions by individuals and
family foundations increased 33 percent over 1989, and represented 65 percent of
total unrestricted giving, up from 55 percent in previous years. Despite the recession,
total unrestricted giving increased by 11 percent, to more than $2 million. These
increases reflect not so much larger individual contributions as a large increase in the
number of contributors. That is a happy development, not least because it creates a

new base from which to build even larger constituencies in the future.

INVESTIGATING DIVERSITY IN THE NEOTROPICS:
FUNGI, FISHES, RELICT FORESTS, THE ADVANCE OF THE

When Field Museum
scientists are “in the field,” that could
mean Borneo or Iowa or Kenya, or any
of numerous other locations around the
world. But chances of bumping into a
curator are highest in the New World,
between latitudes 23.5° north and 23.5°
south: the neotropics.

No doubt there are many
idiosyncratic reasons why one-third of
the Museum’s curators — a dozen
Ph.D.s with as many different research
interests — have chosen to work in this
region. The most important reasons,
however, have to do with institutional
tradition and commitments (the
Museum’s Flora of Peru project, for
example, has been the work of
generations of curators since 1921), and
the extreme diversity of tropical
environments that so excites museum
people. [See page 7.]

Within this relatively small
area of Central America and northern
South America, Field Museum curators

have in recent years been able to study

the effect of ocean currents on desert
vegetation [page 10] and, not far away,
the ecological associations of small
mammals in Andean rain
forests. They have
catalogued the 400 species
of the coffee family in
Costa Rica, among other
floras and faunas, and
have been mapping the
variation among the
thousands of species of
tetras in the tropical

freshwater streams of

Venezuela. On the shores

Peruvian highlands, they have demon- tharsBoras ae

birds confined to mountain peaks above
the clouds.

These and other Field
Museum research projects are in most
outward respects quite traditional.
Curators find, collect, sort, describe,

classify, and preserve the objects of their

attention. But armed with computers,
the techniques of molecular genetics,
analytical tools like “phenetics” and
“cladistics,” and machines like the
scanning electron microscope and the
superconducting cryogenic magneto-
meter, contemporary museum-based
scientists can often ask more difficult
questions of their data than their
predecessors could. And frequently
nowadays, especially in the tropics, their

data and analyses have high utilitarian

value for conservation and development.

Botanist Gregory M.
Mueller, for example, has as one of his
research projects a survey of the
mushrooms in the oak forests of Costa
Rica, and he and his colleagues have
collected more than 2,500 specimens.
These are being subjected to several
different laboratory tests, including
electron microscopy, so they can be
assigned a genus and species, their
relationships assessed, and information
on their life histories obtained. Cultures

of some of these mushrooms are also

being amassed so they can be grown
next to Costa Rican oak seedlings to
learn which are potentially able to form
a specialized symbiosis. Oaks and
mushrooms form joint underground
structures called mycorrhizae on which
both are dependent, but the known
pairings have been worked out for some
temperate forests, not tropical ones.
Foresters in Central and South America
have been replacing stands of native oaks
with foreign species, a practice that 4

could lead to problems — plantations of

of native insects, birds, and other
animals and plants that complex native
forests do. Mueller’s research will help
enable the industry to develop

reforestation technology that does not

upset local ecosystems.
In Ecuador, Peter R. Crane, _

chairman of the Department of

Geology, has found remarkably well

preserved fossil plants. Similar 3
assemblages have been found in Virginia 4
and Portugal and include minuscule 4

flowers that still contain pollen grains. 3

Under the scanning electron micro-
scope, these hundred-million-year-old
fossils have unlocked many of the
mysteries in the reproductive biology of
basal angiosperms — the primitive
flowering plants. Moreover, studying the

pollen preserved within the flowers
enables Crane and his Field Museum
colleague Scott Lidgard to interpret with
greater confidence the data in their
imposing study of the rise of the
flowering plants, which is based on
analysis of fossil pollen data from many
parts of the world. To their own
surprise, they discovered that between
120 million and 80 million years ago
(the mid-Cretaceous period), during the
time the present continents and oceans
were taking shape, the flowering plants
and their nearest relatives, the Gnetales,
began to diversify rapidly in equatorial
regions and to spread to higher latitudes.
But soon the Gnetales died off, perhaps
vanquished by the preadaptive power of
the flowering plant, which subsequently
came to dominate every terrestrial

ecosystem except the high-elevation or

high-latitude spruce and pine forests.
This news, and the analytical methods
employed by Crane and Lidgard, have
attracted wide interest,
including in the oil industry
— much of the world’s oil is
found in mid-Cretaceous rock.

Research Fund of the

American Chemical Society will support

SYSTEMATICS

The kind of work that most Field Museum scientists do is called systematics —
a word that is not in the vocabulary even of many well-educated people.
Paleobotanist Peter Crane, chairman of the Museum’‘s Department of Geology,
defines systematics as the science of “documenting and understanding the
relationships between organisms.” At a basic level, this means collecting,
describing, and sorting the plants and animals of a given place. Cartoon images
of butterfly hunters in pith helmets aside, systematics is the foundation on
which all other study of life on earth is constructed. As a practical matter, such
studies are essential in conservation and environmental planning, and in any
consideration of evolution.

Beyond this, systematists may take a group of related organisms (the New
World blackbirds, for instance, or the tropical fresh-water tetras) and seek to
understand it in detail — its subdivisions, geographic distribution, patterns of
behavior, ecological relationships, evolutionary history. The greater the
diversity in a place or in a group of organisms, the greater the challenge of
understanding its forms and relationships.

At yet another level of investigation, systematists may try to understand the
processes at work in the patterns of relationship they have discerned — the
biochemistry of evolution, say, or the mathematics of shape and size change.

further research by Crane and Lidgard
that will expand their database
geographically over a longer time span
and provide new insight into the long-
term interactions of vegetation and
climate in the history of our planet.

Bosque Monteseco, in
northwestern Peru, is one of several
remnants of a vast forest that 30,000
years ago stretched through what are
now Ecuador and Colombia as well as
Peru. Field Museum botanist Michael
O. Dillon, with American and Peruvian
colleagues and students, has been
surveying the forest as part of the Flora
of Peru project. In isolation, many of the
plants and animals there have evolved
into new species that are found nowhere
on earth except these 6,000 acres.
Because the forest is in the path of
agricultural development, the researchers
have been working with the local schools
to develop science-education programs
in hopes that a new generation will
come to appreciate and protect natural
diversity.

Fish are a lot quicker than

land animals to change their physical

characteristics to accommodate
environmental change. In an effort to
better understand the process at work,
zoologist Barry Chernoff studies two
groups of fishes — the silversides, whose
several dozen species inhabit a wide
variety of ecosystems throughout the
Americas, and the tetras, whose several
thousand species are confined to tropical
freshwater streams. These tropical
waters, however, offer a multitude of
mini-environments through which to
trace the fishes’ changing features.
Chernoff is interested in exploring
mathematical aspects of evolutionary
change, and in the theoretical question
of how much change makes a “species.”
But in the Orinoco Basin of Venezuela,
where deforestation and channelization
are destroying habitat at a rapid pace,
the most pressing research priority is
simply to identify previously
undescribed species before they are gone.
Scott M. Lanyon, chairman
of the Department of Zoology, is
another frequent visitor in the
neotropics, where he has done

collecting, conservation consulting, and

research in his own specialty, the New
World blackbirds — the redwings,
erackles, meadowlarks, bobolinks,
orioles, and other songbirds. Despite the
blackbirds’ familiarity as a group, not
much is known about how the 97
species are related to one another, and
Lanyon is using the techniques of
molecular biology in an effort to
construct the family tree. Lanyon is
principally interested in studying the
evolution of mating and nesting
behaviors, including plumage and song,
which among the blackbirds are both
extremely varied and highly unusual.
Birds typically pair for a season, males
and females often look alike, they tend
to be territorial and to have a species-
specific song. But blackbird species may
exhibit sexual promiscuity, males and
females may be of sharply different size
and color, they often mimic other birds’
songs, and may tolerate dozens of nests
in one tree, among other odd behaviors.
Lanyon hopes to be able to plot these
morphological and behavioral
characteristics against the family tree
derived from DNA studies, to suggest

how and why one led to another.

Lest we forget, human
beings are also a result of natural history,
and their group behaviors — cultures —
while not genetically determined, have
patterns and processes of change that
museum-based researchers can study by
means of systematic collections.
Thirteen thousand feet up in the Andes,
during the reign of Caesar Augustus in
Rome and for a thousand years after, the
city of Tiwanaku ruled an immense
empire that was built on the surplus
provided by a remarkably sophisticated
agricultural technology. The system of
terraced fields, naturally irrigated and
insulated against the cold Andean
nights, had been developed during the
preceding 1,000 years by a succession

of village

cultures
around
Lake
Titicaca. Field
Museum
archaeologist
Charles Stanish

has begun a ten-year
project to investigate the

origins of the agricultural technology

THE
BIOCHEM
LABS

The Biochemical
Laboratories, a
Museum research
facility, produced its
first DNA sequence
data in 1990, obtained
by using a recent
technological
innovation known as
the polymerase chain
reaction (PCR). The
technique permits
genetic analysis of
DNA extracted from
small pieces of tissue,
including dried or
alcohol-preserved
tissues. In a rare
instance, the Lab was
able to sequence
DNA from a 20,000-
year-old leaf fossil.
Major projects have
involved analysis of
the evolutionary and
biogeographic
relationships among
blackbirds (Scott
Lanyon) and South
American fruit bats
(Bruce Patterson).

and development of political systems
that culminated in the long reign of
Tiwanaku, and its decline before the
rise of the Inca about 1450 A.D. With
teams of U.S. and Peruvian students, he
has so far uncovered 450 new archae-
ological sites that reveal evidence of six
different cultures. There is some hope
that the amazingly productive terraced
agriculture can be reintroduced by the
current residents of the area, the

Aymara Indians.*

THE LOVE OF
EL NINO, AND THE

FEAR OF GOATS

It hardly ever rains in the
coastal deserts of Peru and Chile. Life is
sustained there by seasonal fogs from
which plants condense moisture. Even a
few species of bromeliads endure the
spare environment, like their neighbors,
by condensing moisture on their leaves
and roots, while their numerous

relatives in wetter climates collect water

in specialized leaf bases that form a tank.
These tanks provide aquatic environ-
ments capable of sustaining other
organisms such as small frogs, snails, or
insects. f° ays

But Field Museum botanist m : a

in the Chilean Atacama Desert, hunt
some bromeliads over three feet tall
growing on a steep cliff about a
thousand feet above sea level. The site
was inaccessible; Dillon had to use a ton
rope lasso to bring one down — and w:
surprised to receive a small shower when

the plant was uprooted! It proved tobea

previously undescribed species that had “a

some as much as a pint, even though =~
there had been no rain for more than a ti
year. In the desert, that much water 7.
makes a tempting target for any
herbivore.

Dillon has concluded that
the plant is most closely related not to
nearby species but to bromeliads of the
genus Tillandsia that grow in tropical

savannas and cloud forests from

Colombia to Peru. He est _to catalog all the plants in that extremely

accelerated in recent
years and is poised for
expansion and
upgrading. Currently,
in the scientific
departments, a DEC
VAX 11/785 running
the Unix 5.3 operating
system is connected
to more than 120
personal computers
and a wide range of
peripherals.
Upgrading is planned
to add image-
processing
applications, to
increase connectivity
within the Museum
and between its
departments, and to
permit networking
with other research
and educational
institutions.

NEW VISITOR
(MARKETING

The Museum launched an
aggressive visitor marketing
plan in 1989 and 1990 through
the Public Relations
Department with the
assistance of Leo Burnett
U.S.A., a top advertising
agency. A new marketing
theme, “Field Museum — The
Smart Way to Have Fun,”
inspires an integrated program
of publicity, promotions, and
advertising that has helped the
Museum exceed attendance
and revenue goals both years.
New corporate marketing
partnerships with United
Airlines, American Express
Travel Services, Pizza Hut,
McDonald's, KLM Royal Dutch
Airlines, top Chicago hotels,
major radio stations and
retailers enhance promotional
activities.

WOMEN’S
BOARD

Under the leadership of
Presidents Mrs. James J.
O’Connor (1989) and Mrs.
Howard J. Trienens (1990) the
Women’s Board raised
$700,000 for general support of
the Museum’s activities. Each
year the Board provides an
elegant setting to preview the
Museum’s latest exhibit
renovation. The Pacific exhibit
was celebrated at two Fall
galas: “One Enchanted
Evening,” chaired by Mrs.
Thomas J. Eyerman with
United Airlines as underwriter;
and “Jewels of the Pacific,”
chaired by Mrs. John M.
Richman with underwriting
from Kraft, Inc. The Christmas
Tea, attended each year by
some 1,500 children, was
chaired in 1989 by Mrs.
Howard M. Dean, Jr. and in
1990 by Mrs. Andrew
McKenna. Thirty-seven
members volunteer for the
Ambassador Program,
founded in 1990, to greet the
public and to enrich their visits

to the Museum.

Piscibus Marinus, published in 1554 by Guillaume Rondelet

(1507-1566).

SPECIAL-

INTEREST
SUPPORT

GROUPS

The Friends of Field Museum
Library was organized in 1990
to promote interest in and
support for the Library and its
programs of book and journal
acquisition, collection and
preservation, and exhibition
and publication. Under the
chairmanship of Mrs. T.
Stanton Armour, a member of
the Museum's Board of
Trustees, the group has
launched a newsletter,
Gatherings, and sponsored the
acquisition of several rare
books, including Richard
Bradley's A Philosophical
Account of the Works of
Nature, published in London in
1721. Other special-interest
groups are the Friends of
Ruatepupuke Il, the Maori
meeting house now
undergoing renovation on the
Ground Floor, and the
Outreach Council, formerly
known as the Public Programs
Support Group, which aids the
Museum’s community

outreach program.

RICE FOUNDATION
LEADS DONORS

ahieO THE WILD.

With a pathbreaking gift that
will total $5 million, the Daniel F. and
Ada L. Rice Foundation has led the
Museum “Into the Wild” — a new
thematic exhibit, subtitled “Animals,
Trails & Tales,” on the world’s animals

and their environments.

Many contributors large
and small have come forth eagerly to
support this major mounting of the
Museum’s zoology collections. Among
them: The National Science Foundation
made its largest grant ever for a museum
exhibit ($1.2 million), and the members
of the Windy City Grotto chapter of the
National Speleological Society (cave
explorers) put together $1,000 and no

little expertise to help redeem the

reputation of the much-maligned bats.

Mr. and Mrs. Brooks
McCormick contributed funds for a
diorama on wild turkeys, and
Mrs. R. Winfield Ellis for the
stunning installation of Carl
Akeley’s famous “Four Seasons”
diorama. Franklin J. Lunding
pledged a gift in memory of his wife,
Virginia, for the passenger pigeon
diorama, and Gaylord and Dorothy
Donnelley to support a new interactive
exhibit on natural areas around Chicago.

The Ronald McDonald
Children’s Charities donated $150,000
to help enhance the exhibit as a family
experience, and the W.K. Kellogg
Foundation gave $1.4 million for
exhibit construction and educational
programming.

The exhibit, including a
Nature Walk that will take visitors from
Chicago to Alaska and to South
America, opens in November 1991 in
the first-floor west halls, which will now
be known as the Daniel F. and Ada L.

Rice Wing.*

SCIENTIFIC
ILLUSTRATION

Four Field Museum artists
produce illustrations of
specimens and artifacts to
supplement the research of
the curatorial staff. They
employ a broad range of
techniques, but each has
refined a particular style:
Zbigniew Jastrzebski
specializes in pencil or pen
and ink stipple renderings of
skeletal structures and
reconstruction of pottery;
Clara Richardson-Simpson in
line and stipple
representations of zoological
and paleontological
specimens; Marlene Werner in
using carbon dust and scratch
board techniques; and Zori¢a
Dabich in crow quill drawings
of botanical subjects and
water color paintings of South
American monkeys.

THE NEW
EXPLORERS

The Museum’s Education

Department, working with a
group of Chicago teachers, the
University of Chicago Lab
School, and Argonne National
Laboratory, developed a
curriculum for fourth- to
eighth-graders to accompany
the “Islands in the Jungle”
episode of The New Explorers,
the PBS television series
produced by Museum trustee
Bill Kurtis. The series aims to
teach science and to interest
students in scientific careers
by personalizing scientific
adventure and discovery.
(“Islands” features the work of
Field Museum researchers in
Peru.) The Museum is the
repository for tapes of the
series, which are available for
loan to teachers along with
teaching materials and hands-
on activities for students.
Amoco Corp. and Waste
Management, Inc. have
helped subsidize a national
marketing campaign for the
teaching materials. A second
year of the series is in
production, and the Museum
is again participating in
curriculum development.

FOSSIL
PREPARATION

The Museum’s international
reputation for high-quality
fossil preparation was
enhanced in 1990 with the
successful casting of a 135-
million-year-old fossil bird
discovered in northeastern
China, the oldest known
modern bird. The fossil,
embedded in cross-sections on
either face of a fractured piece
of rock, had defied
conventional means of
preparation. William Simpson,
pictured opposite, used an acid
solution to dissolve the bones,
leaving a natural mold in the
rock. A sprayed-on latex “peel”
of the mold was used to create
another mold in silicone
rubber, from which durable
epoxy casts were made.

UNDERSTANDING AND RESPECT
j FOR THE DIVERSITY

OF HUMAN CULTURES

The Field Museum is
preparing a major permanent exhibit on
the natural history and human cultures
of Africa. It already has a major
permanent exhibit on ancient Egypt.

QUESTION: Will this
juxtaposition say to visitors that
Pharaonic Egypt was somehow not an
African civilization? What if anything
should the Africa exhibit say about
Egypt in the 2,000 years since
Cleopatra?

QUESTION: If emphasis is
placed in the new exhibit on the need to
preserve the natural habitats of Africa’s
unique animals — the elephants,
giraffes, hippos, apes, etc. — will this
devalue the struggle to develop the
continent’s resources for its people?

QUESTION: If the display of
“palace” art from Benin notes that the
Medici collected the work of these
artists, does that imply that “tribal”
ceremonial and decorative artifacts are
not of comparable artistic significance?
Speaking of tribes — which, in fact, the
exhibit will not do — if the exhibit is to

have ethnographic depictions of African
cultures, should they include the “white
tribes” of Kenya, Zimbabwe, and South
Africa along with such communities

as the Zulu, Shona, and Masai?

These are ethical and
political as well as intellectual and
aesthetic questions — there are many
more just as complex — and the
Museum’s response to them requires
thoughtfulness and sensitivity. Politics
and ethics are implicated because of
what one scholar calls “the politics of
representation” — there are living
people whose lives and societies will be
affected by the images and ideas about
Africa that the Museum’s exhibit
imparts to American popular culture.
Moreover, images of Africa subtly
influence both the self-image of
African-Americans and the ways in
which Americans of other races interact
with them.

Such considerations arise
not only in the context of the Africa
exhibit, but in many areas of Museum
activity. The issue of the propriety of

certain kinds of displays, e.g., of

ao

PAJAMA
PARTIES

Museum Overnight
programs have
proved phenomenally
popular with the
public. Since July,
1990 they have been
scheduled almost
monthly by the
Museum's Education
Department. Ona
typical Overnight, 250
to 300 persons camp
out in the exhibit
halls. Each evening is
programmed with a
different theme and
participants attend
workshops,
performances, and
other events while
seeing the exhibits in
a different light.
Overnights have been
held for families,
educators, and
community youth
groups.

PUFFING
GOSSAMER
ON DISPLAY

Many of the objects in

the Museum’s Pacific
collections are made
of materials as fine as
spider web and
beetles’ wings. They
were not made to /ast,
yet some have been in
the Museum 80 years
or more. Before such
objects could be
displayed in the
“Pacific Spirits”
exhibit, the staff of the
Division of
Conservation had to
ensure that they
would survive the
exposure —a
complex task
requiring object-by-
object treatment.
Some objects
incorporating plant
materials were
stabilized with
methylcellulose, and a
large broken leaf was
repaired with
Japanese tissue and
wheat starch paste;
both substances can
later be removed if
necessary. Even the
lighting in the exhibit
was set to protect the
artifacts.

religious items not meant to be seen by
non-initiates, comes up from time to
time. The policy that guides the
Museum in these matters is one
of cultural understanding
and mutual respect — a
respect for the internal validity of
every human culture; the idea that,
while uniquely the product of a certain
kind of Western culture, the Museum
should be a bridge between the West
and others; a sense of the Museum’s
responsibility to those whose cultures are
respresented in its collections and
exhibits, as well as to the diverse people

of its home community.

In putting together the
Museum’s permanent exhibit on the
Pacific, for example, the developer,
Phyllis Rabineau, consulted with the
directors of the national museums in
Tahiti, Papua New Guinea, the
Marshall Islands, and Vanuatu. Among
other things, these discussions helped
the developers avoid giving the
impression that Pacific cultures are

frozen in time, despite the fact that the

Museum’s collections largely represent
the first two decades of this century.
The director of the Alele
Museum in the Marshalls urged
Rabineau to use a contemporary
working outrigger canoe in the exhibit,
with all the additions and modern
materials that contemporary Marshallese
have substituted for “traditional” design
and construction; the resulting display,
says Rabineau, “has an integrity that a
reconstruction or a restored 19th-
century piece would not have.”
Marshallese also created all the roof-
thatching used in the exhibit.
Exhibition of human
remains is another extremely delicate
subject, and here too Rabineau’s
consultations proved valuable. The
director of the National Museum of
Papua New Guinea advised that it
would be inappropriate to display the
skulls — trophies of headhunting —
that would normally have been in the
windows of a Iatmul men’s house such
as was planned for the exhibit. On the
other hand, the director of the Vanuatu

Cultural Center saw no problem with

the display of a rambaramp — a
memorial figure that incorporates the
skull of a respected member of the
community — so long as it was placed
high enough that no woman could look
down on it. (In “Pacific Spirits,” the
rambaramp stands so tall that all visitors
of both sexes must look up to it.)

Jonathan Haas, the
Museum’s vice president for collections
and research, has been consulting with
Native American groups for what he says
is “a first start in reorganizing the Native
American exhibits and a first start on a
new dialogue with Native American
peoples.” Representatives of the Hopi,
Blackfeet, Blood, and Iroquois have
been to the Museum recently to review
materials related to their communities
“and give us counsel on the appropri-
ateness of the exhibits and the treatment
of the collections,” says Haas, who along
with President Willard L. Boyd was very
much involved in the discussions among
museum professionals, Native American
leaders, and members of Congress that
led in 1990 to passage of the Native

American Graves Protection and

Repatriation Act. (All human remains
have been taken off exhibit in the Native
American halls.)

The sensibilities of Native
Americans and of women visitors to the
Museum were at issue in the case of the
“Sacrifice to Morning Star” segment of
the Pawnee exhibit. A diorama shows a
human sacrifice, specified as requiring a
female victim kidnaped from a
neighboring tribe. A visitor from Ohio,
Ann Throckmorton, was appalled by
what she felt was a racist and sexist
portrayal of violence against women,
and wrote a letter to that effect
demanding that the diorama be
removed. Michael Spock, vice president
for public programs, decided to display

Ms. Throckmorton’s letter and to solicit

comments from other visitors. Some &.

4,500 visitors replied, most to the
effect that “You can’t rewrite
history” or that depictions of differing
cultural norms were the essence of
anthropological exhibits in museums.

The Pawnee Tribal Council, for its part,

FORD CITY

The Museum’s first
satellite store opened
in November, 1990 in
the lower-level arcade

of the Ford City
shopping mall south
of Midway Airport.
The 2,200-square-foot
store offers books,
toys, clothing, jewelry,
and art from many
cultures and programs
a variety of
educational and
cultural events
throughout the year.
Ford City is Chicago’s
largest mall and
serves the most
diverse clientele.

said that “though we are not proud of
it, it is our history and should stay on
view.” As a result of the controversy,
however, several errors were corrected
—the sacrifice should have been facing
east, not west; women as well as men
participated in the ceremony, etc. It was
also apparent that the exhibit labels
were inadequate, and these were
expanded to give greater context for the
ceremony.

Temporary exhibits and the
Museum’s education department also
emphasize cultural understanding and
respect, from weekend musical offerings
to the long-term Outreach Program
that takes museum-based cross-cultural
programming to eight AfricanAmerican,
Hispanic, and Asian Chicago neighbor-
hoods where surveys indicate few
people ever attend museums. The
annual Neighbors Night brings thou-
sands of residents of these neighbor-
hoods to the Museum, where they can
sample not only the “fun” parts of each

other’s cultures — music, food, dance,

etc. — but the wider and deeper
perspectives on the world that the
Museum’s collections and exhibits offer.
For both school and family groups, the
education department also produces
annual festivals celebrating Hispanic-
American and African-American
heritages.

For more than two decades,
the education department and the
Chicago Public Schools’ office for gifted
students have conducted the Field
Museum Honors Science Program, a
museology course for high-school
students that has always enrolled
students from varied ethnic back-
grounds. In 1990, for the first time, the
department began a similar course for
gifted junior-high students who have
not yet mastered English; these students
have prepared an exhibit on Mexican
and Mexican-American Day of the
Dead observances that will be mounted
in the Webber Resource Center in the

fall of 1991.

Stamped designs include,

ickground, a symbol of fthe power of God

The new exhibit on Africa
will include material on the African
diaspora in the Americas, making direct
the link — via the slave trade —
between Chicago’s largest ethnic
community and the social and political

history of Africa.

Early on, the Africa Project
staff held a series of community forums
to discover what people wanted or
needed to know and to discover
community resources that might feed
into the project. One of the reasons for
choosing to do an exhibit on Africa
rather than on, say, Asia or Latin
America, according to Michael Spock,
was the importance of the black
community in Chicago and the fact
that, other than school groups, the
Museum drew relatively few black
visitors. By creating an innovative
exhibit through an innovative process,
the Museum could speak to that
community through its collections, and
the biack community could speak to the

larger society through the Museum.

The project staff has 43
developed cooperative relationships with
Chicago’s DuSable Museum of African-
American History and with two
museums in Africa. Africable, a
13-week cable-television
phone-in program produced

by the project team,

introduced Chicagoans to
African nationals and emigrés living
in the area.

Thirty fifth-graders of all
races from city and suburban schools
were enlisted in 1988 in a five-year
museology program, “Learning About
People and Museums”; they have
produced a mini-exhibit on common
misconceptions about Africa and, with
their questions and responses, have
helped the project staff to refine exhibit
concepts. The students, as tenth-graders,
will become docents when the exhibit
opens in 1993. They have learned a
good bit about Africa, a great deal about
life and work in a great museum, and
most of all about each other. “Cultural
understanding and mutual respect” has

become part of their culture.*

VOLUNTEERS IN FIELD MUSEUM

SCIENCE AND EDUCATION:

FOUR HUNDRED VERY BRIGHT POINTS OF LIGHT

Nearly 400 volunteers
devote time regularly to the Museum,
working as unpaid part-time staff. Each
year, they contribute the equivalent of
22 full-time positions which, if salaried,
would cost more than $500,000.

Volunteers perform critical
services throughout the Museum, but
perhaps none have done work so
difficult, or so rewarding, as those who
staffed the traveling exhibit “Remember
the Children” in the winter and spring

of 1990. The exhibit examined the

Half the 50 volunteers 45
who served as exhibit guides were
“Eyewitnesses,” people who had
survived the camps or were children of
survivors or members of the liberating
armies. These volunteers were able to sit
down with visitors, especially children,
and bring to life an almost incompre-
hensibly vile period of history.

Other volunteers were
trained to move through the exhibit,
answer questions from children and

adults, deal with sensitive issues and DESIGN AND

horrors of the Nazi extermination camps

through the eyes of the 1.5 million

children — Jewish, Gypsy, retarded, or

physically handicapped — who were
murdered in them from 1933 to 1945.

PHOTO RESTORATION

Among the Museum ’s collection of half a million
photographs are some 20,000, dating from 1920 to
1950, that were taken using nitrate-based film
before it was known that such film was chemically
unstable. In 1989 Nina Cummings, photo
researcher in the Department of Photography, and
an outside contractor, the Chicago Albumen
Works, began a two-year project, funded by the
National Endowment for the Humanities, to restore
and conserve this portion of the collection. Photo
collections that have been saved include Malvina
Hoffman’‘s round-the-world studies for her epic
sculpture project, “The Races of Man,” and Anne
Fisher's portraits, landscapes, and architectural
photos of Iraq in 1928.
