CHARLES EDWARD DOTY (d. 1921) PHOTOGRAPHS MADE IN CUBA AND
THE PHILIPPINES
Early in his career, Charles E. Doty was a portrait photographer in Hamilton, Ohio.
Later he worked for a photoengraver. Following the Spanish-American War, Doty became the
"official photographer of the United States government in Havana," a civilian
employee of the Engineers Department, Division (later Department) of Havana, Military
Government of Cuba. Doty's duties were to document progress under American rule. This work
came to a temporary end with the transfer of power to Cuban civilian authorities. Doty
returned in 1907-1908 during renewed American control, but the photographs of the
collection concern the earlier period.
In 1904, Doty entered the Philippine civil service as a photoengraver with the Bureau
of Printing. Except a break in service from 1907 to 1912, he continued in the Philippines
until around 1920. Then terminally ill, he was forced to return to the United States.
Presumably, some glass negatives and positives (plus one film negative and one print)
of this collection were not part of Doty's official duties. A few Cuban photographs,
however, were probably official, for they bear the identification of the Engineer's
Department, and their subjects fit official purposes (see, for example, official
photographs in "American Progress in Habana," National Geographic Magazine,
volume 13, number 3 (1913), pages 97-108).
The images include many views of Havana harbor and its wharfs with ships of the United
States and other nations. There are views of the wreckage of the USS Maine and
one picture of the wreckage of the Spanish ship Alfonso XII. Other views include
government buildings, churches, and private residences. Many street scenes (some
apparently intended to show poor living standards) and views of parks are also included.
In addition, there are depictions of American military personnel and installations and
views of Spanish fortifications, the latter including many of the Cabaña and El Morro.
Other images show ruins of the old city walls and the Cemeterio de Espade. A small series
illustrates a garrote and demonstrates its use.
Other than incidental inclusions, only a few photographs show the people of Cuba. Those
that do include reconcentradoes, farm families, and people involved in
transportation, industry, and commerce. A few pictures show President Tomás Esytrada
Palma's inauguration and include portraits of the man, views of street decorations, and a
view of the Cuban military entering Havana.
Although most of the Cuban photographs were made in Havana, there are some made in the
countryside and in towns and villages. A few were made on the Isle of Pines. Doty took
most, but other photographers made a few, including a Mr. Miles and Gómez de la Carreros.
The latter include images apparently predating the Spanish-American War.
There are thirty-five Philippine photographs. They are perhaps more clearly the result
of Doty's off-duty efforts. The pictures are a miscellany, the only prominent series
showing the old walls and gates of Manila. Otherwise, they include views of churches,
country scenes, river scenes, Bilibid prison, and Fort Santiago. There are also portraits
of Filipinos.

DRUCKER, PHILIP (1911-1982), Papers
Philip Drucker trained in anthropology at the University of California at Berkeley. As
a student of Alfred L. Kroeber, he worked among the Tolowa in 1933 and Indians of western
Oregon in 1934. He based his dissertation on investigations of the Nootka on Vancouver
Island of 1935-1936. As a National Research Council fellow in 1937, he worked among
British Columbia coastal Indians and carried out an archeological survey there. In 1938,
he undertook an archeological project in the Grand Coulee area for the Spokane Historical
Society.
In 1940, Drucker joined the Bureau of American Ethnology and became an assistant to
Matthew W. Stirling on an archeological expedition to investigate Olmec culture in the
Mexican state of Veracruz. After that, except for interludes of military service, Drucker
was annually involved in studies of Mexican antiquities. In 1940, he assisted at Tres
Zapotes; in 1941, at Cerro de las Mesas; in 1942, at La Venta; and, in 1946, at San
Lorenzo. In 1947, he surveyed the Chiapas highlands; in 1947, the Chiapas coast; and, in
1953, the Olmec regions of Tabasco and Veracruz. During 1954-1955, he joined Robert F.
Heizer and Robert J. Squier in excavations at La Venta.
Throughout his career with the Smithsonian, Drucker continued his interest in Northwest
Coast Indians; and, besides the work in Mexican archeology, he carried out several
projects to supplement the field data he had collected earlier. In 1952-1953, he returned
to the Northwest Coast and, operating from Juneau, Alaska, investigated the Alaskan native
brotherhoods. In 1947, he became chief of River Basin Surveys activities on the West
Coast.
A naval officer during World War II, Drucker saw active duty between 1942 and 1945.
Recalled to duty in 1948-1952, he served as staff anthropologist with the United States
Trust Territory of the Pacific Islands. He resigned from the Bureau of American Ethnology
in 1955; and, after a period of nonanthropological work in Mexico, he reentered
anthropology as a visiting professor at the University of Kentucky (1967, 1968-1969),
University of Colorado (1968), and Baylor University (1979). He became professor of
anthropology at Kentucky in 1969-1978 and professor emeritus in 1978.
The material concerns Drucker's work before 1955. Included are field notebooks, printed
material, drafts of manuscripts, notes, cartographic material, drawings, photographs,
writings, historical documents, and copies of United States government documents. There
are also letters of William Beynon, Alfonso Caso y Andrade, Juan Comas, William Duff,
Eusebio Dávalos Hurtado, Robert F. Heizer, Arthur Kidder II, Walter McCall, Eduardo
Noguera, Morris E. Opler, William L. Paul, Sr., Daniel F. Rubín de la Borbolla, William
Scow, John Sorenson, and Matthew W. Stirling. Also incorporated are notes (often comments
and suggestions regarding Drucker's work) by Alfred L. Kroeber, photographs of Nootka by
R. Maynard, copies of papers by William Beynon and Viola E. Garfield, a catalog of an
Alaskan collection of Edward G. Fast, a field notebook relating to the British Columbia
coast archeological survey by Richard K. Beardsley, notes on Alsea by John Albert, and
miscellaneous papers concerning Micronesia. The latter includes material by Harry K.
Uyeharan on Angaur clan organization, J.E. Tobin on the Bikini, and George E. Thompson on
education in American Samoa.
