American Association of Museums 1907 Meeting

William Jacob Holland, Director of the Department of the Museum, Carnegie Institute—now Carnegie Museums of Pittsburgh, which oversees Carnegie Museum of Natural History—was instrumental in the founding of the American Association of Museums in 1906. Holland also facilitated the second meeting of the AAM at Carnegie Institute in 1907.

A group photograph was taken June 4, 1907, on the steps of the Lecture Hall of Science at Carnegie Institute. Due to Holland's important role with AAM and his connection to Carnegie Museum of Natural History, we are making an attempt to identify everyone in the 1907 photograph in honor of the 100th anniversary of the 1907 meeting in Pittsburgh.

If you believe you can name anyone in the photograph, please visit the identification website. The history section contains a wealth of information about the founding of both AAM and Carnegie Institute. Thank you for your assistance with this fascinating project!
