Abstract
This Guide is divided into three parts. Part I describes the Native American-related sound recordings and manuscript papers in the Melville Jacobs Collection. Part II provides summary descriptions of the papers of four additional anthropologists and one student of anthropology whose research interest in Pacific Northwest Indians is reflected in their collections. Part III provides synopses of twenty-eight historical collections in the University Archives and Manuscripts Division whose contents document early views of Native culture and especially Indian-EuroAmerican relations in the pre-1900 Pacific Northwest.
Description
This Guide is divided into three parts. Part I describes the Native American-related sound recordings and manuscript papers in the Melville Jacobs Collection. The introduction provides provenance information for the collection and indicates the procedures for requesting access to its materials. This is followed by a select bibliography of Melville Jacobs' publications; descriptions of the Native American-related linguistic and ethnographic papers, arranged alphabetically by language; and brief summaries of the contents of the
sound recordings, arranged by the recording accession number. Appendices provide indexes to the informants, language/dialects, and collectors in the Jacobs' sound recordings, and to collectors in the
linguistic and ethnographic papers section.
Part II provides summary descriptions of the papers of four additional anthropologists and one student of anthropology whose research interest in Pacific Northwest Indians is reflected in their collections. The anthropologists are May M. Edel, Viola E. Garfield, Erna Gunther, and Ronald L. Olson. The student of anthropology i Jay E. Ransom.
Part III provides synopses of twenty-eight historical collections in the University Archives and Manuscripts Division whose contents document early views of Native culture and especially Indian-EuroAmerican
relations in the pre-1900 Pacific Northwest.
