The Analyzing 18th Century Lifeways of Anza Expedition Members in Northwestern Sinaloa & Southwestern Sonora Mexico project was the last one Dr. Dobyns worked on before he passed away in 2009. Richard Stoffle and his team dedicated the final report to him. Dr. Stoffle wrote the included obituary to honor Dr. Dobyns' contributions to not only the Anza study but to Applied Anthropology.

This is a tribute published in the journal Ethnohistory for Dr. Henry F. Dobyns in 2010. This piece was written by one of his former colleagues that he worked with at the Newberry Library in Chicago, IL.
