Background

Scope and content:

The Ethnological Documents of the Department and Museum of Anthropology, University of California, Berkeley, is composed of 216 separate collections of varying size, spanning the period 1875 to 1958, with the exception of a QuichƩ Maya manuscript leaf, dating from the 17th Century. The collection is comprised of manuscripts, field notes, and other linguistic, ethnographic and ethnobotanical documents, including card files, newsclippings, genealogical tables, charts, maps, drawings, photographs, as well as some original microfilm. Some of the data was gathered by Berkeley anthropology graduate students for the Culture Element Distribution Survey, under the direction of Alfred L. Kroeber. Many of the manuscripts contain notations in Kroeber's hand. The documents were transferred from the Robert H. Lowie Museum of Anthropology (now the Phoebe Apperson Hearst Museum of Anthropology) to The Bancroft Library in 1970.

As originally described in Dale Valory's 1971 Guide to Ethnological Documents (1-203) of the Department and Museum of Anthropology, University of California Berkeley, the collection is particularly rich in cultural and linguistic information about California Indians. Noteworthy documents include Pliny E. Goddard's notes and manuscripts on California Athabaskan (Na DenƩ) languages, as well as Edward Sapir's celebrated work with Ishi, the last speaker of Yahi, and on other Yanan languages. The work of Thomas T. Waterman on the Yurok, DiegueƱo and Yana languages is well represented, as is that of Paul L. Faye on the CupeƱo and Philip S. Sparkman on the LuiseƱo languages. There is a substantial quantity of Edward W. Gifford's much sought-after field notes and manuscripts concerning linguistic groups from throughout California. Documentation of several Paiute languages and cultures figures prominently in the notebooks compiled by Frederick S. Hulse and Frank J. Essene, which are unusual in that Native Americans were sometimes employed to record as well as to supply information. Also worth noting are Abraham M. Halpern's Pomo-Patwin field notes, and the myths, tales and vocabulary collected by Waterman, Charles F. Voegelin and Erminie Wheeler-Voegelin from Tubatulabal informants. There are many smaller yet still significant collections, including information on Nisenan and other Maidu languages, recorded during the brief anthropological career of Hugh W. Littlejohn.

In addition to California languages, the Ethnological Documents Collection also contains linguistic and cultural information from other parts of the country, as well as from abroad. Examples include the seminal work on the Tohono O'Odham language of Arizona by Juan Dolores and Kroeber; Halpern's detailed Yuma linguistic and Papago ethnographic notes; William W. Elmendorf's lengthy Twana and Skokomish field notes; Ronald L. Olson's papers on the Kwakiutl and Tlingit; and Waterman's research on the tribes of the Puget Sound region. From further afield come John Garvan's manuscripts on linguistics and ethnology from the Philippine Islands, as well as documentation of Gifford's work in Oceania.

Since the appearance of Valory's Guide in 1971, the Ethnological Documents Collection has doubled in size. Recent additions to the collection include over 100 field notebooks, containing interviews with Pomo, Wailaki, Nomlaki, Konkow, Yuki, Maidu, Paiute, and Lone Pine Shoshoni informants, which were conducted under the auspices of the United States Works Projects Administration and the California State Employment Relief Administration during the 1930s. Some of these notebooks are remarkable for the level of detail of the information. More recently, multiple drafts of The Sparkman Grammar of LuiseƱo have been transferred from the Albert L. Kroeber Papers (BANC MSS C-B 925) and added to Sparkman's extensive documentation of the grammar and vocabulary of the LuiseƱo. Manuscripts on the culture and language of the Yurok and the DiegueƱo also have been transferred to the Ethnological Documents Collection from the Kroeber Papers. Two late additions to the collection are Arden R. King's field notes on the Mountain (Northeast) Maidu and Gifford's notes on the Karok. The collection's expanded size has been caused in part by careful conservation work and improved housing of documents, including the mylar encapsulation of fragile documents, and the creation of custom-sized acid-free boxes for fragile items.

The final part of the finding aid consists of four indices, three of which were provided by Valory. The Index of Authors [and Compilers] (I) has been updated to reflect recent additions to the collection. Further expanding and enriching access to the holdings of the Ethnological Documents Collection is a newly-created Index of Informants (II), with over 2,200 names. This new index augments Dale Valory's original Author-Persons Index, which had excluded the names of Native American consultants. The Index of Linguistic and Tribal Names (III) has been modernized to show current as well as historic names. The Subject Index (IV) has been left as Valory created it. The finding aid concludes with Valory's bibliography of works cited.

Biographical / historical:

This Guide represents the culmination of some five years' work by the compiler which was initiated in December, 1965. In excess of 50,000 pages of manuscripts and field notes, and thousands of plates and photographs, were sorted, researched, indexed and archived in a decimal system. In 1957-1958, A. L. Kroeber had compiled the first catalog of Museum manuscripts, then numbering but thirty-nine. Beside these relatively few items remained an enormous quantity of collections stored then in the mezzanine of the Anthropology Library of Kroeber Hall. In 1967, Kroeber's list was augmented and edited by the writer, and was then published (Kroeber and Valory 1967) to initiate knowledge of the collection's existence in the academic community at large.

In 1969, a joint committee of Department of Anthropology faculty and Lowie Museum staff met and decided to accept an offer by the University Archives to absorb the collections. By this time, in excess of 150 of the collections had been archived, and their value was becoming known to scholars throughout the United States; numerous scholars came to Berkeley thereafter to examine and utilize the mainly unpublished sources. The lack of adequate facilities to store and use the collections, however, severely hampered this activity, and the Department/Museum "Archives" had merely unofficial status.

The accumulation of these collections began as early as the Department of Anthropology itself (1901), and the Guide, together with the important endnotes, is in itself a meandering history of both the Department and of the course and development of ethnology in California. The collections are significant mainly for their relevance to North American Indian--and California Indian in particular--studies, although there are as well significant Pacific collections. Notable among the archival items are the collections of works by P. E. Goddard, E. W. Gifford, to some extent those of A. L. Kroeber and T. T. Waterman. The private correspondence and scientific papers of A. L. Kroeber and R. H. Lowie are not a part of this collection and are now located in The Bancroft Library. Department and Museum official correspondence to 1958 was also shifted to the University Archives in 1969.

The ethnological documents of the Department and Museum are now available for use to serious scholars, and individuals interested in them should contact the University Archivist, for rules respecting the examination and reproduction of the contents. As a courtesy, permission for citation or publication, in part or in whole, of the collections should be secured, in writing, in advance from the authors where living. In many cases, living authors' addresses can be obtained from either the Lowie Museum files or from the Department of Anthropology in Kroeber Hall; authorization for the use of the collections per se is not necessary on the part of the Museum or Department, however. The University Archivist has sole authority in this matter.

It is hoped that in years to come, the collections now in the University Archives will be utilized to their capacity, as fresh field sources and opportunities for research on traditional cultures of North American Indian societies are swiftly drying up, and the domain of historical Indian civilizations is slipping into the realm of paleoanthropology, and the traditional American Indian is disappearing. As this phenomenon increasingly becomes the general rule, scholars will turn ever increasingly in kind to library and archival sources for new insight and data, and such collections as those in the Archives will gain new and deeper significance.

Acquisition information:
The Ethnological Documents of the Department and Museum of Anthropology, University of California, Berkeley, were transferred to The Bancroft Library from the Robert H. Lowie Museum of Anthropology (now the Phoebe Apperson Hearst Museum of Anthropology) in 1970. No additions are expected.
Processing information:

The collection was processed by Claora Styron, Brian C. Pierini, and Lauren Lassleben.

Arrangement:
Arrangement and Description Note to the 1997 Microfilm Edition

The Ethnological Documents are composed of 216 discrete smaller collections of varying length. In this finding aid, the collections are referred to as "items." The collection as a whole conforms to the order imposed by Dale Valory and described by him in his 1971 Guide to Ethnological Documents (1-203) of the Department and Museum of Anthropology, University of California Berkeley. Since this is the arrangement in which the collection has been used and cited since 1971, the original order has been maintained in the microfilm edition. Unfortunately, at times this may entail some inconvenience to the researcher. For example, the papers of Edward Sapir are listed as Items 67, 71, 129, and 197, the order in which the items were listed in the 1971 Guide. As a result, Sapir's papers will appear on more than one microfilm reel, as the filming sequence follows the numerical order of the items. For more information, please consult the Note on Microfilm, with Key to the Arrangement of the Collection on Reels.

The finding aid has been edited for clarity and consistency. Misspelled words, errata, obscure and incomplete sentences, and bibliographical inconsistencies have been corrected whenever possible. Researchers who wish to review its evolution can refer to the earlier versions ("Ethnological Manuscripts in the Robert H. Lowie Museum of Anthropology," by A. L. Kroeber and D. Valory, in The Kroeber Anthropological Society Papers, #37, 1967; and the Guide to the Ethnological Documents (1-203) of the Department and Museum of Anthropology, which is cited above).

The finding aid has been edited so that the Container Listing matches as closely as possible the actual contents of the folders. A number of items have been re-arranged over time, and in some cases it is no longer possible to determine the original order, or to reconstruct it. Other items were incomplete due to loss. For instance, Item 159 now lacks W. L. Marsden's Notebook II, which was present in the collection in 1971. In the case where new materials have been added to the collection, a summary of their contents and source have been noted in the item description.

Significant format modifications have been made in the 1997 version of the finding aid. Numerical reel notations have been entered in the lefthand column to signal the start of each reel. New editorial notes have been entered in square brackets, while Dale Valory's original notes in parentheses have been retained. Throughout the collection, Valory's original page count has been retained, even though it may have changed since 1971. In exceptional cases, where the page count of items has changed substantially, usually due to major additions to the item, the new count is placed in square brackets beside the former count. Variations in some page counts can be explained by Valory's inclusion of blank notebook pages in the count, whereas the count for the microfilm edition includes only surfaces with text and graphic information.

Note on Microfilm, with Key to the Arrangement of the Collection on Reels

The Ethnological Documents Collection has been microfilmed in order to preserve fragile paper documents and to make the collection more widely available for research. The preservation of this unique collection on microfilm ensures its continued availability to researchers.

While microfilm is currently the preservation medium of choice, it is not without limitations. Since it is a black and white medium, it does not convey information shown in color on maps or charts, for example. Other kinds of documents where legibility may be compromised on microfilm are notebooks with colored pencil, photostatic copies, carbon copies, and photographs.

The goal in filming is to capture completely and legibly all surfaces with text or other information. In some instances, varying levels of reflectance on a single document necessitated a retake of that page at different levels of exposure. Some documents required two or three retakes in order to ensure their complete legibility. In other cases, the weak contrast of pencil script on embrittled and darkening paper in field notes may be enhanced on film. The valuable field notes in the Ethnological Documents Collection have been filmed to show the structure of the physical object itself, thus providing a surrogate of the original. The size of a document influences the way in which it was filmed. Oversized documents, such as charts, genealogical tables and maps, are usually filmed in overlapping segments, after an initial establishing shot has been taken. The photographs in this collection have been filmed as reference images only.

Although most of the Ethnological Documents Collection is paper-based, a few items originated in the collection on microfilm only. These original films have item numbers ending with the letter m for microfilm (such as Item 12.8m). These early films have been copied onto a contemporary polyester base, and reels may be ordered for patron use in the same manner in which other reels are requested. Some of the film had deteriorated completely and was discarded. Wherever possible, the description in the Container Listing and in the Key to the Arrangement of the Collection on Reels contains notes about where to locate the information that was on the discarded reel.

As regards the arrangement of the items on reels, it would have been simpler to film one item on one reel. But since some items consist of only a few pages, this would not have been economical. The collection has been filmed at an average of 550 images per reel. The reels have been programmed in three different ways: one item occupying one reel; several smaller items fitting on one reel; and one large item requiring multiple reels.

To illustrate:

1) One item on a single reel: Item 11 fits on one reel that is called Reel 11; Item 27 fits on one reel that is called Reel 27.

2) Several small items on one reel: Items 2-10 fit on one reel that is called Reel 2-10; Items 73-77 fit on one reel that is called Reel 73-77.

3) One item on multiple reels: Item 1 fits on two reels that are called Reel 1 (1) and Reel 1 (2); Item 82 fits on eleven reels that are called Reel 82 (1), Reel 82 (2), Reel 82 (3), and so forth.

Special care is recommended when ordering an item that is on several reels. First locate the description of the item in the Container Listing and note the items of interest. Then turn to the Key to the Arrangement of the Collection on Reels and match the item number to the reel number. For example, after selecting Item 12.11 (Kato linguistic miscellany) in the Container Listing, go to the Key to Arrangement, and locate the item in the column marked Item Number. There you will find Item 12.11-12.14.1 listed directly across from Reel 12 (5) in the Reel Number column.
