http://www.oac.cdlib.org/ark:/13030/tf6x0nb5b4

Papers of Edwin Aubrey Cook (1932-1984), American anthropologist, professor, and specialist in Manga culture in Papua New Guinea. He graduated from the University of Arizona in 1959 and attended Yale University for his graduate education. Cook devoted his career to anthropological work, focusing on kinship and social structure of the Manga tribe in Papua New Guinea. He taught at the University of Hawaii; University of California, Davis; Southern Illinois University at Carbondale; and Florida State University. He served as the book review and articles editor in Social/Cultural Anthropology for AMERICAN ANTHROPLOGIST. Although the papers span 1944-1984, the bulk of the collection was created between 1964-1973. The bulk of the collection is comprised of manuscripts, reprints and audiorecordings relating largely to Cook's anthropological studies of native New Guinea society.
