SCOPE AND CONTENT
For those who are searching for anthropologically substantive materials, special note should be
made of the Manuscript and Pamphlet File. A potpourri of documents, the file includes
correspondence, notes, drawings, maps, photographs, printed and processed materials, paper
specimens, reports, writings, catalogs, motion picture film (now in the Smithsonian's Human
Studies Film Archives), bibliographies, and other types of documents. Of concern is a wide
variety of subjects such as anthropological specimens, museology and museums, Smithsonian
history, archaeological and ethnological methods, exhibits, expeditions, history of anthropology,
and so forth.
The file seems to have been maintained in the Division of Ethnology — in one document it was
referred to as Herbert W. Krieger's morgue — and the subject matter is largely ethnological.
Nevertheless, some documents relate to archeology and physical anthropology. The file also
contains administrative materials, such as records relating to the Department of Anthropology's
use of Work Projects Administration workers during the 1930s. In addition, the file is the main
location of materials not generally accepted as being strictly anthropological in the modern
sense. It includes, for example, material on period costumes, fish and fisheries, whaling,
religions, armor, biblical studies, modern appliances, the seal industry, European music and
musical instruments, lace, aeronautics, and other similar subjects. In addition, the file includes
sets of papers of Edwin H. Hawley ,Walter Hough, Otis T. Mason, Talcott Williams and Thomas
Wilson.
Some documents, both primary and secondary research materials, concern the following cultural
groups and geographic areas: Arabs, Bannock, Baubi, Blackfoot, British Columbia, Caddo,
Carib, Chinook, Cochiti, Comanche, Cossacks, Cuna, Delaware, Diegueño, District of Columbia,
Dyak, Eskimo, Europe, Fox, Goajira, Haida, Hawaii, Hittites, Hupa, India, Innuit, Iran, Ireland,
Jamomadi, Japan, Jivaro, Kabyles, Kiowa, Kirghese, Klamath, Korea, Luiseño, Madagascar,
Madiera, Maidu, Makah, Maori, Mataco, Maya, Micmac, Micronesia, Mission, Modoc, Mohave,
Mongolia, Moro, Morocco, Naltunnetunne, Nanticoke, Narragansett, Navaho, New Guinea, Nez
Perce, Nubia, Omaha, Onandaga, Osage, Oto, Papua, Parsee, Pawnee, Peru, Philippines, Pomo,
