SCOPE AND CONTENT

For those who are searching for anthropologically substantive materials, special note should be

made of the Manuscript and Pamphlet File. A potpourri of documents, the file includes

correspondence, notes, drawings, maps, photographs, printed and processed materials, paper

specimens, reports, writings, catalogs, motion picture film (now in the Smithsonian's Human

Studies Film Archives), bibliographies, and other types of documents. Of concern is a wide

variety of subjects such as anthropological specimens, museology and museums, Smithsonian

history, archaeological and ethnological methods, exhibits, expeditions, history of anthropology,

and so forth.

The file seems to have been maintained in the Division of Ethnology — in one document it was

referred to as Herbert W. Krieger's morgue — and the subject matter is largely ethnological.

Nevertheless, some documents relate to archeology and physical anthropology. The file also

contains administrative materials, such as records relating to the Department of Anthropology's

use of Work Projects Administration workers during the 1930s. In addition, the file is the main

location of materials not generally accepted as being strictly anthropological in the modern

sense. It includes, for example, material on period costumes, fish and fisheries, whaling,

religions, armor, biblical studies, modern appliances, the seal industry, European music and

musical instruments, lace, aeronautics, and other similar subjects. In addition, the file includes

sets of papers of Edwin H. Hawley ,Walter Hough, Otis T. Mason, Talcott Williams and Thomas

Wilson.

Some documents, both primary and secondary research materials, concern the following cultural

groups and geographic areas: Arabs, Bannock, Baubi, Blackfoot, British Columbia, Caddo,

Carib, Chinook, Cochiti, Comanche, Cossacks, Cuna, Delaware, Diegueño, District of Columbia,

Dyak, Eskimo, Europe, Fox, Goajira, Haida, Hawaii, Hittites, Hupa, India, Innuit, Iran, Ireland,

Jamomadi, Japan, Jivaro, Kabyles, Kiowa, Kirghese, Klamath, Korea, Luiseño, Madagascar,

Madiera, Maidu, Makah, Maori, Mataco, Maya, Micmac, Micronesia, Mission, Modoc, Mohave,

Mongolia, Moro, Morocco, Naltunnetunne, Nanticoke, Narragansett, Navaho, New Guinea, Nez

Perce, Nubia, Omaha, Onandaga, Osage, Oto, Papua, Parsee, Pawnee, Peru, Philippines, Pomo,

Pueblo, Puerto Rico, Pygmies, Quichua, Quinaielt, Samoa, Sauk, Seminole, Seri, Shoshoni,

Spain, Tahiti, Tesuque, Thailand, Texas, Tolowa, Tonga, Tulalip, Utah, Virginia, Washo,

Wichita, Wintun, Yavapai, and Zuni.
