Ethnogeographic Board Dissolved
Close
PrintIn mid-1945 the Ethnogeographic Board is dissolved because its importance declined after 1944. At the outset of World War II, the Board, head quartered at the Smithsonian, provided ethnographic and geographic information to the military about remote regions of the world where the military were engaged in combat.
