List of Ernest S. “Tiger” Burch, Jr. Publications

Abstract

Since Ernest S. Burch, Jr.’s passing in 2010, several colleagues collaborated to compile as complete a “Burch Bibliography” as possible. Our sources are as varied as were Tiger’s publication outlets. Among the sources we have scoured for citations are Tiger’s Curriculum Vitae, which appeared in numerous updated versions over the years; the bibliographies in Burch’s own publications, online citation search engines, our personal research notes and fi les, publications lists from several obituaries (Csonka 2010; Krupnik 2010a, 2010b; Krupnik and Stern 2012; Pratt 2011), and the Burch Collection at UAF (Stern, this volume). We present the list of Tiger Burch’s publications, reviews, major unpublished reports and manuscripts, and known oral presentations below, which is organized chronologically. The fi rst three types are lumped together and the known oral presentations (papers presented at conferences, addresses, etc.) and unpublished manuscripts are presented separately. Following the established journal pattern , publications that Tiger Burch coauthored and which show him as the fi rst author are indicated by an “and,” while the word “with” is used to identify those publications where he was the second (or third) author. We believe that the published record of Tiger Burch is covered very thoroughly and we do not expect any major “unknown” publications to surface shortly. To the contrary, our grasp of his oral presentations and unpublished works is all but preliminary. Unlike his many university-based colleagues, Tiger was very prudent in not recording his oral papers, contributions ‘in press’ or unpublished texts in his subsequent vitae and did not keep a list of these materials or such a list has not been found. A full catalog of Tiger’s unpublished manuscripts will most certainly come later, after a thorough examination of his papers at the UAF archives. For the record of Tiger’s papers given as oral presentations we examined the annual meeting schedules, programs and books of abstracts of major professional meetings that Tiger attended on a regular basis, such as the American Anthropological Association (AAA) annual meetings, Alaska Anthropological Association annual meetings (aaa), Inuit Studies Conferences, International Congresses of Arctic Social Sciences, and other sources. There are no doubt other papers he presented that we have not identifi ed. We are grateful to Theresa Thibault, who assisted us by going through her complete collection of the annual aaa meeting programs.
