Historical BackgroundReturn to Top
The Jacobs Research Fund was established by Melville and Elizabeth Jacobs, anthropologists known for their work with Native Northwest people. Prior to Melville's death in 1971, they made plans to establish an anthropological research fund as part of their estate. After Melville's death, Elizabeth began awarding small grants to scholars who were working on projects she believed Melville would have supported. A board was created, and a trust fund established by Melville's mother was combined with the fund to become the Jacobs Research Fund, which is administered by the Whatcom Museum Foundation of the Whatcom Museum. They are sister organizations that fund linguistic and anthropological research on native peoples of North and South America, with priority given to research on the Pacific Northwest.
