Scope and Content of Collection
The Hugh Norwood Port Moresby Research Materials is comprised of Norwood's research documentation for his study of Port Moresby,
Papua New Guinea. Norwood used these materials for his study,
Port Moresby Urban Villages and Squatter Areas which documents population change and urban development in Papua New Guinea. The materials are arranged in two series: 1)
SETTLEMENT MATERIALS and 2) AERIAL PHOTOGRAPHS
SERIES 1: SETTLEMENT MATERIALS
The SETTLEMENT MATERIALS series is comprised of aerial photographs, notes, survey forms, and maps. The materials are arranged
alphabetically by village or settlement name.
SERIES 2: AERIAL PHOTOGRAPHS
The second series, AERIAL PHOTOGRAPHS, contains 103 gelatin silver prints dating from 1973-1978, arranged by settlement name.
The photographs are aerial images of the neighborhoods surrounding Port Moresby, Papua New Guinea. Because this series is
a later addition to the collection, aerial photographs can also be found in SERIES 1: SETTLEMENT MATERIALS.
