Biography/History
Roland C. Stevenson was born on January 15, 1915 in Romford, Essex. He studied at the University of London from 1932 to 1935,
graduating with a B.A. [Honors] in French. As an employee of the Church Missionary Society, he first traveled to Sudan in
1937. In Sudan, in the Nuba Mountains region of the country, he served as a teacher in the mission schools until the period
of scholastic nationalization which occurred in 1959. Alongside his teaching, he also began to study the languages of the
region.
While still employed by the Church Missionary Society, he earned another degree in African languages at the School of Oriental
and African Studies. His thesis for the degree provided the first professional linguistic phonological analyses and grammatical
sketches of most of the then 'little known' languages of the Nuba Mountains. He published these findings in successive issues
of
Afrika und
Übersee in 1955 and 1956. In 1965 he obtained the degree of M.Sc. in the Sociology Department of the University of Khartoum for
his ethnographic study of the peoples of the Nuba Mountains.
From 1959 to 1965, Stevenson carried on his linguistic studies in Omdurman. He worked on a project which had him alphabetizing
the various Sudan languages while also teaching social anthropology at the University of Khartoum. Then from 1965 to 1980
he worked in Nairobi with the United Bible Society, advising on Bible translation and related linguistic matters. He returned
to Khartoum in 1980 as a guest professor in the Institute of African and Asian Studies at the University of Khartoum. In
1983 he became professor and head of the Division of Sudan and African Languages, a position he held until his retirement
in 1988.
Stevenson was an active contributor to Nilo-Saharan and Kordofanian linguistic studies in his later years, and he attended
and presented papers at most of the international Nilo-Saharan conferences. He was still working on new materials relating
to the Nuba Mountain languages at the time of his unexpected death on May 8, 1991.
Scope and Content
These papers comprise the greater part of Professor Stevenson's linguistic field collections on the Central Sudan and Nuba
mountains region. Represented in the collection are approximately 30 to 40 different languages from at least five of the
six major African language families. The larger portion of the research materials cover languages in the Nilo-Saharan and
Afro-Asiatic families. The collection was compiled over a period of more than 30 years-roughly form the early 1960s through
the end of the 1980s. Among the different types of materials included in the collection are unpublished grammars, related
language instruction publications, late twentieth century missionary [language instruction] booklets, ethnographic field
notes, and unpublished conference proceedings from a selection of different international conferences on African Languages,
politics, and history. Some small assortment of documents relating to particular languages are missing, having been distributed
to other scholars in 1991 and 1992.
Organization and Arrangement
The collection has been grouped and arranged according to the families of languages represented in the collection materials.
