Note re provenience: Emmons in accession file identifies baskets E222033-0 and E222034-0 as berry baskets collected (probably purchased?) in Victoria, B.C.. Catalogue card for E222033-0 attributes to Southeast Alaska. In a letter of July 16, 1903 from Sitka, Alaska filed in accession file 41512, Emmons mentions two baskets that may be E222033-0 and E222034-0. He mentions that he is sending two very old Chilkat berry baskets to the Smithsonian.

List in accession file includes "7. Carved stone doll heads dressed a la Chilcaht" [i.e. Chilkat]. This entry seems to refer to E75495 - 51, all of which were originally catalogued as stone doll heads dressed. Catalogue cards were later corrected to ivory instead of stone for E75495 - 50.

Provenience note: Anthropology catalogue ledger book lists a locality of Alaska for E67931 - 68019. Catalogue cards list a locality of Sitka. Alaska. It is unclear which is correct, though it is probable that the collection was purchased in Sitka.
