From 1907 to 1930, Edward S. Curtis recorded his research and observations related to traditional North American Indian cultures. Comprised of twenty volumes of text and a wealth of images, Curtis’ work is an ambitious effort to document one American’s perspective on Indian life during the early twentieth century.

American Indian researcher
I’ve used the Curtis collection several times. It is a very useful digital collection, however, one has to remember that many of the shots Curtis took were staged, and therefore do not depict actual American Indian life at the time.
