The American Ethnological Society
is the oldest professional anthropological organization in the United
States. Founded in 1842 to encourage research in the emerging field of
ethnology,
its stated goal was to foster "inquiries generally connected with the
human
race." Today the AES, a section of the American Anthropological Association
(AAA), is a
thriving group of nearly 4,000 anthropologists who organize an annual
meeting, publish
the journal American Ethnologist, and carry on a variety of
activities to promote
scholarship on " ethnology in the broader sense of the term. "
