Wilson Duff attended the University of British Columbia and graduated with a BA in 1949, and later received an MA in Anthropology from the University of Washington in 1951. Duff was the curator of Anthropology at the BC Provincial Museum (1950-1965) and later a professor of anthropology at UBC. He was also on the Vancouver Museum planning committee and a consultant to study the National Museum of Man in Ottawa. In addition, he served as the Vice President of the Museums Association of BC and was later the President of the association from 1963-1965. Duff acted as an unofficial advisor to several First Nations organizations in BC. In particular, he held a role as the advisor to the Kitwancool.
