This item is a set of anthropometric data cards copied by Birdsell from the original data collected by William Lloyd Warner (1898-1970), an American anthropologist and sociologist. Warner came to Australia to study at the University of Sydney on a Rockefeller Foundation Fellowship (1925-1926), then worked in east Arnhem Land (1927-1929) under an Australian National Research Council fellowship. Based at Milingimbi Methodist Mission, Northern Territory, Warner conducted extensive anthropological and sociological research on numerous Australian Aboriginal groups in the area. His anthropometric measurements of 339 Australian Aboriginal people were later analyzed and published by WW Howells (1937). On his return to the USA in 1929, Warner taught anthropology and sociology at Harvard University until 1935. In 1935 Birdsell began working under the direction of EA Hooton at the Department of Anthropology at Harvard University. Birdsell (1993) states that the protocols were made available to himself from Warner, and that he subsequently rearranged the data from their numerical sequence into regional groups, the last two being broadly regionally pooled populations as follows:
