'In 1913, Mr. Howes embarked on the first of several scientific expeditions to Central and South America organized by the American Museum of Natural History and the New York Zoological Society. In 1916, he was the research assistant and microphotographer on a team that established a permanent tropical-research station in British Guiana, now Guyana, for the zoological society. His natural-history collections, containing thousands of specimens, were deposited with the Bruce Museum. He was appointed assistant curator and taxidermist of the museum in 1918 and curator-director in 1938. When he retired in 1965, he was named curator emeritus. One of his major contributions to the museum was more than 50 natural history and geographical dioramas, which he designed and painted. He also produced 14 color films about biology and travel' (Thomas W. Ennis, 'Paul G. Howes, 91, a former historian and former curator', New York Times obituary, June 19, 1984).
