BOX 154-215 | Part II: Projects, 1837-1985 | ||||||||||||
The Projects series documents Métraux’s work as an anthropologist, most notably
her fieldwork in Montserrat and Papua New Guinea. Supplementing her Montserrat
field notebooks in Part I are artwork and drawings, data from projective tests,
and an extensive collection of well-organized, identified, and catalogued
photographs and negatives. The Papua New Guinea fieldwork files are more extensive
in Part II than in Part I. Métraux’s fieldwork took place among the Iatmul of
Tambunam village in the Middle Sepik River region where Gregory Bateson and
Margaret Mead had conducted fieldwork in 1938. Included are copies of Bateson-Mead
1938 field records, which are often annotated by Métraux. Métraux’s own field
materials are arranged by expedition as main files containing administrative and
planning files, correspondence, field diaries, and notebooks. Census records,
children’s drawings, film records for still photography and some moving images,
maps, projective testing data, and tape catalogs are filed separately from the
main expedition files. Other projects documented in this series include Métraux’s study of German civilian morale for the Office of Strategic Services during WWII, data and notes on the psychosocial and medical stress of Chinese immigrants living in New York in the 1950s, files from her collaboration with Theodora Mead Abel on projective testing techniques, and additional material on the Research in Contemporary Cultures, Studies in Allopsychic Orientation, and Studies in Contemporary Cultures projects that are more thoroughly documented in Part I. Material types include: correspondence, memoranda, reports, proposals, administrative and planning files, financial records, field notes and diaries, photographs, artwork, projective testing material, census data, catalogs and indexes, notes and lists, statistical data, exhibit materials, writings by others, and printed matter. |
