Jane Goodale Papers, 1948-1997

http://www.oac.cdlib.org/ark:/13030/kt396nc71c

Papers of Jane C. Goodale, an American anthropologist and photographer who conducted ethnographic research on Kaulong-speaking people of New Britain Island in Papua New Guinea. Goodale studied daily life and customs, identity, gender identity, gender relations, attitudes towards sexuality and marriage, the ritual of death, and the song performances. The papers largely document her fieldwork conducted among the Kaulong during three field trips to southwest New Britain (1962-1964, 1967-1968, and 1974). They are rich in primary ethnographic data and include diaries, field notebooks, typed transcriptions, genealogies, audiorecordings, color slides, and photographs. Also included are grammars, vocabularies, and linguistic materials for Kaulong and Tok Pisin languages. A unique part of this collection are color slides (over 240 rolls) and audiorecordings documenting in detail social life, customs, and song performances of the Kaulong. In addition to ethnographic data, the papers comprise manuscripts of published and unpublished works, primarily related to Goodale's fieldwork in New Britain, and correspondence with colleagues, friends, students, editors, granting agencies, and local government officials in Papua New Guinea. Materials related to Goodale's fieldwork with the Tiwi people of North Australia are not included in the collection. Although the papers span the period of 1948 to 1997, the bulk of the collection was created between 1962-1974. The papers are arranged in thirteen series: 1) BIOGRAPHICAL MATERIALS; 2) UMBI FIELDNOTES, 1962-1964; 3) ANGELEK FIELDNOTES, 1967-1968; 4) ANGELEK FIELDNOTES, 1974; 5) GENEALOGY NOTES; 6) LINGUISTIC MATERIALS; 7) WRITINGS BY GOODALE; 8) WRITINGS BY OTHERS; 9) TEACHING MATERIALS; 10) SUBJECT FILES; 11) CORRESPONDENCE; 12) RECORDINGS; and 13) PHOTOGRAPHIC MATERIALS.
