Viking Fund Publications in Anthropology

Die Viking Fund Publications in Anthropology (Abk. VFPA) sind eine US-amerikanische anthropologische Buchreihe der von dem schwedischen Großindustriellen Axel Wenner-Gren (1881–1961) gegründeten und ausgestatteten Stiftung in New York, die 1941 als The Viking Fund gegründet wurde und deren Name im Jahr 1951 in Wenner-Gren Foundation for Anthropological Research geändert wurde.

Kurzeinführung

In der VFPA-Monographienreihe wurden Forschungsergebnissen aus der Anthropologie veröffentlicht, sie wurde 1942 unter der Leitung von Professor Cornelius Osgood von der Yale University ins Leben gerufen.

Den Angaben der Wenner-Gren Foundation zufolge wurde die Reihe, als sie ins Leben gerufen wurde, kostenlos an fast tausend der wichtigsten professionellen Anthropologen und Sozialwissenschaftler sowie an Primärbibliotheken in der ganzen Welt verteilt. Später, als die Zahl der Fachleute zunahm, sei der Vertrieb gegen eine geringe Gebühr ausgeweitet worden.[1]

Die einzelnen Herausgeber der Reihe waren Cornelius Osgood (1943–1947), Ralph Linton (1948–1951), A. Irving Hallowell (1951–1955), Sherwood L. Washburn (1956–1961), Sol Tax (1962–1970), Colin M. Turnbull (1971–1976) und Arthur Jelinek (1976–1979).[2] 1979 wurde die Reihe eingestellt. Insgesamt erschienen 57 Bände.
