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: This collection of 16 documents describes the Island Carib during the period from 1492 to 1992. Occupying the Lesser Antilles, the Island Carib were among the first peoples encountered by Europeans in the New World. They fiercely resisted European intrusion, finding their last refuge on the mountain island of Dominica, where they continue to live within the Carib Territory (formerly the Carib Reserve). The Dominican Carib constitute a distinct ethnic minority within the largely Creole population of this West Indian island. Four documents are missionary accounts from the 17th century, all translated from French into English. A late 19th century account is provided by Ober and early 20th century summary by Neveu-Lemaire. Other documents cover the topics of kinship and social structure, dietary and occupational restrictions, basketry, ethnobotany, and the recent resurgence of Carib identity and ethnicity

Content: The Alorese live on the Island of Alor, in East Nusa Tenggara Province of Indonesia. Alor is noted as an area of tremendous cultural and linguistic diversity. Alorese estimate between 48 and 60 mutually unintelligible Austronesian languages are spoken on Alor, and many of the inhabitants speak Bahasa Indonesia, the national language of Indonesia. The people in the highland live in small villages, practice Christianity, and their major subsistence activity is agriculture. The people on the coast tend to be Muslim. This collection consists of four documents. Three were written by the American anthropologist Cora DuBois shortly before the outbreak of World War II. All of DuBois' field work was done from 1935 to 1940 in village of Atimelang in central Alor. DuBois' monograph, The people of Alor, is probably the best source of ethnographic information on the Alorese people although it is heavily oriented toward the basic personality structure of the Alorese and their personality development. Some of the ethnographic data contained in this work deal with the food quest, concepts of disease, relationship to the supernatural, marriage, and social relations. The fourth document in this collection is by Scarduelli. It deals with the symbolic organization of space and social identity in the village of Alor Kecil, located at the western tip of Alor Island, and is based on the field work Scarduelli did there during the 1980s. This document includes data on political organization, lineages, rituals of circumcision, marriage exchanges, traditional history, and community structure

Content: The Osage collection covers a variety of cultural, historical and environmental information on different sections of Osage society from pre-contact times to late 1990s. The works of James Owen Dorsey and George A. Dorsey represent the earliest systematic attempts at understanding and reconstructing pre-reservation Osage society and culture. However, the basic and most comprehensive sources in the collection are four works by Francis La Flesche, a native Omaha who studied the Osage in 1910-1920. Topics covered in these works include marriage customs, ceremonies and rituals and child-naming rites. The collection also includes other works by the anthropologist Garrick A. Bailey who conducted ethnographic field work among the Osage in Oklahoma in the mid-1960s and 1970s. Two of these works are broad descriptions of Osage culture and history. The remaining two works, Bailey explores similarities and differences between the traditional Osage world described by La Flesche and the Osage world of later times with particular reference to religion and rituals and social organization. Also included in the collection is an article exploring ideas of justice and punishment held by various Indians and Europeans, ending with the trial of several Osage men accused by the United States of the kind of killing that the Osage had done for a century in protection of their trade and land rights
