FIELD NOTES, 1962-1963

Scope and Content of Series

SERIES 2) FIELD NOTES, 1962-1963. Arranged in three subseries: A) Diaries, Field Notebooks and Typescript Summaries; B) Note Cards and C) Subject Files.

A) Diaries, Field Notebooks and Typescript Summaries: Arranged alphabetically by format and chronologically within each format, containing Rappaport's notes on the activities of the Tsembaga, such as interviews with informants, details from conversations, linguistic material, and observations. The diaries, field notebooks, and typescript summaries reflect similar information recorded at different times of the day. The field notebooks contain unrefined information obtained in the field through conversations with informants and observations. Also included in the field notebooks are brief shot lists of several rolls of the black-and-white film. The field notebooks are supplemented by "Scaling books," which record trophic data of individual families. The typescript summaries are detailed recapitulations of the field notebooks with some explication or supposition of the three formats; they offer the greatest depth and breadth of information. In addition to being a general recapitulation of Rappaport's activities, the diaries also reflect chores, ideas to explore, personal information, and general observations not necessarily pertinent to Rappaport's dissertation.

B) Note Cards: Arranged alphabetically by category. The categories include notes on linguistics, Pigs for the Ancestors and research material. The research material is primarily composed of gardening notes, including botany and horticultural techniques, and notes regarding Tsembaga cultural dynamics, such as political organizations, economics, religion and art. The linguistic material was primarily compiled by Rappaport's wife, Ann.

C) Subject Files: Arranged alphabetically by subject and contains population censuses, garden censuses, aerial photographs and maps of Rappaports's study area, and linguistic material. Also included are two letters from "MM" to Andrew Peter Vayda, Rappaport's advisor, in a folder titled "Preparation Lists and Notes." "MM" may refer to Margaret Mead, who served as an advisor for the Columbia University Expedition of 1962-1963, and was a member of Rappaport's dissertation committee.

PHOTOGRAPHS

Scope and Content of Series

SERIES 6) PHOTOGRAPHS: Arranged in three subseries: A) Black-and-White Prints, B) Color Slides and C) Negatives.

A) Black-and-White Prints: Prints and contact sheets of images taken from Rappaport's 1962-1963 fieldwork. The images document daily village life as well as aspects of ritual. Several of the contact sheets have corresponding shot lists associated with them located in SERIES 2A, and many of the prints are from negatives in SERIES 6C.

B) Color Slides: Divided into two distinct groups labelled "S" and "T." The "S" slides are from a 1960 Tahitian archaeological expedition in which Rappaport participated, and include slides taken in Taiwan, Japan, Australia, and New York. The "T" slides are from Rappaport's 1962-1963 Papua New Guinea field work and document daily village activity as well as aspects of ritual. Generally, there is descriptive annotation on the slides. This subseries contains several images of Rappaport, as well as his wife Ann.

C) Negatives: Original 35mm black and white negatives. This subseries has been entirely digitized, and images are available for viewing by clicking on the links in the container list below. To re-create the order in which the photographs were taken, refer to the frame number at the end of the image title. Prints of many of these negatives are in SERIES 6A. Original negatives are restricted.
