Excerpt from Journal of the Anthropological Institute of New-York, 1872, Vol. 1
This will certify that the undersigned, being all of full age, and citizens of the United States, desire to associate themselves together and form a society, to be known in law by the name of The Anthropological Institute of New-York.
The particular objects of this society are the study of man in all his varieties, and under all his aspects and relations. Its special object will be the study of the history, conditions, and relations of the aboriginal inhabitants of America, and the phenomena resulting from the contact of the various races and families of men on the American Continent before and since the Discovery.
The physical characteristics, religious conceptions, and systems of men, their mythology and traditions, their social, civil, and political organizations and institutions, their languages, literature, arts, and monuments, their modes of life and their customs are specifically within the objects of the Institute.
It will further be the aim of this association to collect all manuscripts, books, and relics illustrating the several subjects above enumerated, to stimulate and encourage inquiry and research, particularly in unexplored American fields; and, by means of such publications as may be deemed proper, to utilize and disseminate the results of its investigations and efforts for the benefit of science and of man.
