Elsie Clews Parsons Papers I | Mss.Ms.Coll.29 (formerly 572 P25.1). | |||
Professional correspondence, notes, and manuscripts of Elsie Clews Parsons relating to research in folklore and anthropology. Subcollection I includes much of the most significant material relating to Parsons's fieldwork among Indigenous peoples of the American Southwest (Acoma, Hopi, Isleta, Jemez, Laguna, Pecos, Picuris, Taos, Tewa, Zuni), Mexico (Mitla), and the West Indies. Arrangement: Parsons I is organized essentially as received, with no coherent, overall arrangement, but with good topical arrangement at a more refined level. The arrangement follows the listing produced by Gladys Reichard in 1949, copied from notes written by Reichard on the original brown envelope containers. Parts are numbered 1-67, with 1-4 being correspondence grouped into Series I, and 5-67 grouped into Series II. Numbers 60-66 were received by the APS on November 30 1949 and appended to the end of the collection. Numbers 52, 55, 58 and 59 are not present in this subcollection as of 2023 and appear to have been removed as part of earlier processing. An early table of contents (at the APS Library) indicates that 55 and 58 were correspondence, presumably incorporated into Series I correspondence. 52 was "Zuni lore and the village of the great Keva. Duplicate. Paper for notes, Annual Meeting (?)" and 59 was "Engraving blocks of Prayersticks and Feathers from war-god shrines. American Anthropologist"; the whereabouts of these is not known. | ||||
