Biographical history

Claude Everett Schaeffer, 1901-1969, was born in Ohio, USA. He received his BA from the University of Washington in 1927 and worked for the family firm until beginning graduate work at Yale in 1931. In 1934 he worked as a field investigator under Clark Wissler, for the American Museum of History. He entered the University of Pennsylvania in 1937 and received his PhD in anthropology in 1940. Dr. Schaeffer was assistant state archaeologist for the Pennsylvania Historical and Museum Commission, 1940-1947, and director of the Museum of the Plains Indians in Browning, Montana, 1947-1954. He resigned due to poor health, but on his recuperation was curator of the Klamath County Museum, 1955, and of the Oregon Historical Society, 1956-1959, before regaining his old post in Browning. He remained at the Museum of the Plains Indians until his retirement in 1966. He was a productive scholar, and devoted much of his life to gathering field data from the Flathead, Kootenay and Blackfoot. On his retirement, he planned to develop much of this material into books and articles, but he died before this could be achieved.
