In August 2010, I was contacted by an archivist in Special Collections at the University of Arizona Libraries about a position processing a recently acquired archival collection. The archivist said the library had received a donation of an anthropologist’s professional and personal papers. The collection was also quite large, a challenge I relished. I was interested. A few years earlier, I had graduated with my bachelor’s degree from the University of Arizona’s School of Anthropology. The anthropologist had graduated from the same program in the 1950s. I immediately applied for the position—and once hired, I moved to Tucson to process the Henry F. (Hank) Dobyns Papers. I would spend the next two years of my career almost exclusively in the company of Dr. Dobyns—or at least his papers, and the memories and stories of those who knew him.1 The experience defined me as an archivist. The size and complexity of the Dobyns collection tested my skills—and often my sanity—but, ultimately, it made me a better archivist. Henry F. (Hank) Dobyns (1925–2009) was an applied anthropologist and ethnohistorian. Dr. Dobyns spent much of his career working with native peoples of North and South America. Born in Tucson, he was raised in Casa Grande, Arizona. He graduated with a BA and MA in anthropology from the University of Arizona, and received his PhD in anthropology from Cornell University. Dr. Dobyns worked on land and water cases for several southwestern tribes and on the Cornell Peru Project, which was affiliated with the U.S. Peace Corps; he also worked at several universities, including the University of Arizona.2 He never retired, and remained active in research projects. Because of his connection

寻找 Dobyns 博士：处理 Henry F. Dobyns 馆藏，亚利桑那大学图书馆

2010 年 8 月，亚利桑那大学图书馆特别馆藏的一名档案管理员联系了我，询问处理最近获得的档案馆藏的职位。档案管理员说，图书馆收到了一位人类学家的专业和个人论文的捐赠。这个系列也很大，我很喜欢挑战。我很感兴趣。几年前，我从亚利桑那大学人类学学院获得学士学位。这位人类学家在 1950 年代毕业于同一课程。我立即申请了这个职位——一旦被录用，我就搬到图森处理 Henry F. (Hank) Dobyns 论文。在接下来的两年里，我的职业生涯几乎完全是在 Dobyns 博士的陪伴下度过——或者至少是他的论文，以及那些认识他的人的回忆和故事。1 这段经历使我成为一名档案保管员。Dobyns 收藏的规模和复杂性考验了我的技能——通常也是我的理智——但最终，它让我成为了一个更好的档案管理员。Henry F. (Hank) Dobyns (1925–2009) 是一位应用人类学家和民族史学家。Dobyns 博士的大部分职业生涯都与北美和南美的土著人民一起工作。他出生在图森，在亚利桑那州的卡萨格兰德长大。他在亚利桑那大学获得人类学学士和硕士学位，并在康奈尔大学获得人类学博士学位。Dobyns 博士曾为几个西南部落和隶属于美国和平队的康奈尔秘鲁项目处理土地和水问题；他还曾在包括亚利桑那大学在内的几所大学工作。2 他从未退休，并一直积极参与研究项目。
