Biographical Note
Henry Otley Beyer was a significant and prolific American anthropologist, archaeologist, and pre-historian specialising in cultural studies of the Philippines.
Beyer was born in Edgewood, Iowa in 1883. Following the completion of a Masters degree in Chemistry from the University of Denver, Colorado, he volunteered to teach in the Philippines. From 1905 he took up his teaching post and also undertook to study the Ifugaos of the Banaue Valley of northern Luzon.
In 1908–09 he carried out research in Asia, North Africa and Europe and undertook graduate studies in anthropology at Harvard University. Returning to the Philippines in 1909, Beyer joined the Bureau of Science as an ethnologist. He carried out fieldwork among the Ifugaos, Igorots, Apayaos, Kalingas and other peoples. In 1914 he joined the staff of the University of the Philippines and established the Department of Anthropology. He became Professor of Anthropology in 1924 and held the position until his retirement in 1954.
Beyer was the pioneer of anthropological studies in the Philippines and also made major contributions in the fields of folklore, customary law, archaeology, art and geology. Among his many publications were the Philippine ethnographic series (141 vols, 1912–22), Philippine tektites (1933–34) and Philippine folktales, beliefs, popular customs and traditions (3 vols, 1941–43).Beyer died in the Philippines in 1966.
