This collection contains at least seven diaries maintained in both English and Cherokee by William West Long between 1891-1917. Long, a member of the Cherokee Tribe, served as ethnographer Frank Gouldsmith Speck's primary consultant and collaborator. Long's journals include entries, accounts, notes, and curing formulas, with multiple notebooks related to the years 1911, 1913, 1916-17. Given that these volumes are culturally sensitive and have been maintained primarily in Cherokee (with no English translations), scholars might consider consulting with the Center for Native American and Indigenous Research (https://www.amphilsoc.org/library/CNAIR) as they examine these volumes.
