Biographical Note

Barbara E. Ward was born January 2, 1919 in Nottingham, England. She earned her BA in History at Newnham College, Cambridge in 1940, then proceeded to study Education at the University of London, earning her MA in Education in 1942. From 1946-1949, Ward returned to the University of London and earned a second MA in Social Anthropology.

While studying, Ward worked with Professors Meyer Fortes and Robert Steel on the Ashanti Social Survey on rural-urban migration in Togoland, and with Professor Raymond Firth on East End housing and kinship. Ward began directing her own research with an extended research trip to Hong Kong from 1950-1953, where she focused on the Tanka boat people. In the fishing villages of Hong Kong, she began an extended research program on socio-economic change.

Ward married H.S. Morris in 1953, but continued to work under her maiden name. Morris was also a social anthropologist, and Ward assisted him from 1953-55 in his research on urban Indian populations in Uganda, Kenya, and Tanzania. UNESCO appointed Ward as Director on a project to study the changing roles of women in Asia. Traveling extensively for the project throughout South and Southeast Asia in 1959-1960, Ward published the results of her research in 1963 under the title Women in the New Asia.

Ward returned to Hong Kong in 1959-1960, 1963, 1967, 1968, 1972, 1978, 1979, and 1981. Over the course of decades, she returned to several fishing communities to conduct a longitudinal study. She also completed a smaller study of a small glass factory in Tsun Wan in 1967. In 1975, Ward began sociological research on Cantonese opera, festivals, and theater, which she continued to study on subsequent trips to Hong Kong.

In addition to her research, Ward held teaching appointments at several universities. She lectured in Anthropology at the University of London, was a Fellow of Newnham College and Clare Hall in Cambridge, and served as a Visiting Professor at Cornell University and the Chinese University of Hong Kong.

Scope and Content of Collection

The bulk of the collection consists of research files related to Ward's anthropological field work as she collected data from the 1950s through 1980s. The research files series contains notes, background information, fishery records, Ward's writings, correspondence, and sound recordings relating to the Tanka boat people of Hong Kong and the Cantonese opera. The research files also contain notes from a smaller survey of a Hong Kong glass factory studied by Ward in 1967.

The collection also contains files related to Ward's work as a lecturer and professor at Newnham College, Cambridge; Cornell University; the Chinese University of Hong Kong; and the University of London. The academic files series consists of correspondence, exam papers, lectures, notes, research proposals, meeting agendas and notes reflecting Ward's role as lecturer and mentor.

The photographic series contains photographic prints and negatives relating to Ward's work. The photographs document Hong Kong fishing village life, weddings, festivals. The bulk of the photographs series dates from Ward's later research trips in 1980-1981 regarding Cantonese opera in Hong Kong, though the series also depicts her research in the 1950s on fisheries.

Research files 1949-1981

Scope and Contents

The Research files series includes field notebooks, surveys, background reports, maps, correspondence, and clippings related to Ward's work in Hong Kong. The series is divided into three subseries to reflect Ward's main research interests in Hong Kong Fisheries, Industry, and Cantonese Opera. Each subseries is arranged in rough chronological order. The series captures anthrological data from repeated research trips to the same few communities over 30 years, providing a detailed look at the fishing community in Hong Kong during a period of change. The bulk of the records relate to Ward's study of fisheries, but the series also includes a smaller study of a glass factory and material on festivals and Cantonese Opera. The Cantonese Opera subseries includes audio recordings of interviews with performers.
