Gerrit Jan Held was the first Dutch cultural anthropologist to extensively document ethnography and the languages of Papua's inhabitants. He studied Indology at Leiden University starting in 1926, graduating in 1935 with a thesis on India's Mahabharata. During his downtime with the Nederlands Bijbelgenootschap, he conducted anthropological research in Papua in the late 1930s, despite not participating in the Christianization of local populations. He founded the Instituut voor Taal- en Cultuuronderzoek in 1948 and passed away suddenly at the age of 49 after a brief illness.
