The Battles of 1802 and 1804: the Artifactual and Visual Record This presentation will review the tangible evidence of the Battles of Sitka and its aftermath—objects of the Russian occupation as well as Tlingit at.óow and other items, and period drawings and early photographs that shed light on those pivotal events.
Using Historical Photographs in Historical Research and Repatriation With Harold Jacobs Historical photographs are invaluable in the documentation of Tlingit culture, at.óow, and other artifacts. Artists and researchers find them useful in the study of history, and they may serve as evidence in repatriation claims, helping to establish cultural affiliation, ownership, and ceremonial use. This presentation will review some of the more interesting examples of historical images that have proven useful in research and repatriation over the past twenty years.
