Biographical Sketch
Hiram Bingham III (b. 1875, d. 1956) was an adjunct professor in the history of Latin America at Yale University from 1907 to 1915. Although he was not an anthropologist by training or formally affiliated with the Peabody Museum, Bingham contributed to the Museum through his re-discovery of the famous archaeological site of Machu Picchu in Peru. The associated documents and photographs from that collection, are housed in the Division of Anthropology at the Yale Peabody Museum.
