Content: This collection about the San consists of 80 English language documents, three of which are translations from the German (Kaufman, Lebzelter, and Werner). The time span ranges from prehistory, to the early San-European contact period (ca. 1650s-1850s), to the late twentieth century. Most of the documents deal with various !Kung San groups in Namibia, and Botswana (e.g., in the Dobe, Nyae Nyae, G/wi, and Heikum areas). There is also some data on the San of southern Angola and the Republic of South Africa. Major topics of note include kinship, infant behavior and child development, San-European contacts and cultural change, trade, and San knowledge about nature and man

Content: This collection consists of of 94 English language documents and one translation from the German. While the time coverage is vast (from 800 B.C. to the 1980s) and there is good historical depth, the focus is primarily on rural Greek society in the latter half of the 20th century, particularly in the mainland regions of Boeotia, Piraeus, Kokinia, Zagor, Epiros, and central Macedonia and the major Aegean or Greek islands of Crete, Rhodes, Lesbos, and the Cyclades (Tinos, Anafi). Also included are comprehensive studies on the Sarakatsani nomads of the Zagori, Epirus, Thessaly, and central Greece regions. Several documents deal with the city of Athens

Content: The Marshallese collection consists of 15 documents, covering a wide variety of cultural and historical information, circa 1900 to 2005. The earliest descriptions of Marshallese culture and society in the collection are translations from the German originally compiled by a colonial official, two ethnologists, and a missionary. Together, these three documents provide detailed geographic and ethnographic information as observed in 1900-1909. Two documents in the collection are first-hand accounts of Marshallese village life and economic situation as observed in 1946-1947. One of these was a commissioned research by the U.S. government company which sought background cultural and economic information for planning future economic development for the Marshall Islands. The other was authored by Alexander Spoehr, a former U.S. Navy who returned to the Majuro in 1947 as a civilian to conduct ethnological work. In this work, Spoehr contrasts changes in Marshallese culture he observed with his own earlier observations while on active duty with the Navy during World War II. L. M. Carucci conducted extensive fieldwork among inhabitants of Ujelang/Enewetak Atolls on various occasions in 1976-2005. Topics covered by Carrucci include domestic violence (1990, no. 9), community life and concepts of morality (1998, no. 10), dynamics of grandparent/grandchildren relations, aspects of cosmology (1989, no. 22), and rites of passages. The remaining documents in the collection further enrich information in the above three category of works with additional themes and in-depth analyses including land tenure and inheritance rules, gender and family life, internal political dynamics and international relations, and contemporary development issues

Content: The League of the Iroquois was a confederacy of five Native North American nations; the Mohawk, Oneida, Onondaga, Cayuga, and Seneca. The Tuscarora joined the League in 1722 and it became known as the Six Nations. In the late twentieth century members of the Six Nations lived primarily in Ontario and Quebec in Canada and New York State, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, and Oklahoma in the United States. This file on the Iroquois consists of 51 documents with a general time coverage from 1650-1990

Content: The Ndyuka live in the northern extension of the Amazonian rain forest in the Marowijne (Maroni) river basin which is shared by the Republic of Suriname and French Guiana. The heartland of Ndyuka territory is considered to be the lower part of the Tapanahoni River, a tributary of the Marowijne. The Ndyuka are one of six Maroon (or Bush Negro) groups in Suriname. Maroons are the descendants of rebel African slaves who succeeded in building independent communities in the Americas. This file contains 16 documents, which mostly cover topics on religion, law, and cultural change. The major works are Hurault's ethnography of the Boni from the 1940s and 1950s, van Velzen's history of Ndyuka religious movements and cults, Bilby's examination of culture change and identity in five Aluku communities, and Lenoir's work on Paramaccan religion. Other topics covered in this file include Ndyuka manners, possession cults during Suriname's civil war, leadership, witchcraft, law and sanctions, kinship and social organization, resistance and acculturation, classificatory kinship and authority, food cultivation and preparation, and a comparative demographic study of the Boni and Oyana Indians
