Finding Aid to the Papers of Homer G. Barnett
Introduction
The papers, photographs, slides, maps, and periodicals in this collection were donated to the
National Anthropological Archives in 1975 by Dr. Homer G. Barnett, author, ethnologist and
professor of anthropology at the University of Oregon. The accession numbers are 75-17a,
75-17b, and 75-76. The collection covers the period from 1934 to 1970 with a few items dated
outside that span.
Literary property rights to unpublished material were donated to the Smithsonian Institution.
The collection occupies 7 ½ linear feet and is composed of 18 boxes and about ½ inch of
oversize map space.
Scope and Content Note
This collection contains papers, photographs, slides, maps, periodicals, field notes and copies of
studies done by others. Dr. Homer G. Barnett donated this collection to the National
Anthropological Archives in 1975. Dr. Barnett, an ethnologist, anthropologist, author and
teacher spent his early professional years, 1934-1943, studying Northwest Coast Indians. After
the second World War, her focused on Micronesia, especially Palau, and later Netherlands New
Guinea, now known as West Irian. It was during this time that he observed at close hand and
became an expert in cultural change.
Between 1947 and 1970, years of drastic change for natives of Oceania, Dr. Barnett made three
long stays and many shorter ones in the islands. He used his research in writing, teaching, and
consulting.
His early study of Yurok, Hupa, Karok, Nuqually, Oakville and Skopomish Indians is contained
in research notebooks, field notebooks and photographs. There is an interesting section on
Indian Shakerism (not related to the Shaker Movement of the East). One notebook records his
experience while conducting a class at Berkeley in 1943 on inter-cultural exchange of
information. The later field notebooks record his observations while on Palau and New Guinea.
There are also approximately 900 slides that he used in class lectures.
Dr. Barnett amassed a large collection of scholarly papers and periodicals dealing with the South
Pacific area, especially during the years 1952-1960. There are a few publications in Japanese
reflecting the interests of the prior trustees of Palau. There are significant numbers of scientific
papers in Dutch on natives of New Guinea. He also preserved interesting examples of literature
in Palauan, pidgin English and Papuan.
There is no personal correspondence other than that pertaining to setting up a study of displaced
communities in the South Pacific. This study was funded over a 5-year period by the National
Science Foundation. The resulting papers are on deposit at the University of Oregon.
Dr. Barnett spent 2 years as Senior Fellow in ethnogeography at the Bureau of American
Ethnology (BAE), 1944-1946. There are no papers in this collection dating from those years, but
the BAE Correspondence files contain letters to and from Barnett during this period.
In 1939, Dr. Barnett was the director of an archeological excavation in the Santa Fe National
Forest in New Mexico. The report of this dig is NAA Ms. 4070. Another paper Barnett wrote,
Yakima Indians in 1942 is NAA Ms. 4867.
Series Descriptions
Series 1. Materials Relating to “Displaced Communities” Study. 1962-1970 (3/4")
Arranged by type, then chronologically.
Official correspondence, project proposal, reports, and residence permits. The correspondence
(some of which is in duplicate) is left grouped in Dr. Barnett’s arrangement. The project to study
cultural change and stability in displaced communities in the South Pacific area was funded by
the National Science Foundation. The goal was to send graduate student field workers to
specific areas which were inhabited by displaced native groups – some for reasons for volcanic
activity, some for governmental reasons such as atomic testing, some for reasons of weather such
as drought and do an intensive study. The students returned to the University of Oregon where
they produced reports. These reports are on deposit at the Department of Anthropology at the
University of Oregon. The project proposal also includes detailed curriculum vitae for Dr.
Barnett, his associated in Australia and the U.S. Trust Territory, Cyril Belshaw, Leonard Mason,
Henry Evans Maude, and James Spillius.
There are 8 annual reports which cover the 5 years of the study and 3 years of “wrap-up”
including lists of the publications which grew out of this study.
Series 2. Writings. 1938, 1942, 1955(?), 1961 (2 ½")
Arranged alphabetically by title.
There are four items here. Three of which have not been formally published. “The Innovative
Process” is a reprint from Alfred L. Kroeber: A Memorial, Kroeber Anthropological Society
Papers, No. 25, Fall 1961, 18pp. It is the only published item. The Nature and Function of the
Potlatch was Barnett’s Ph. D. dissertation written in 1938 and reproduced by the University of
Oregon in 1968. The Yakima Indians of 1942 is a partial duplicated of NAA Ms. 4867. It lacks
the resume pages and photographs. There is a 13-page mimeo report written by Dr. Barnett for
the Governor of Netherlands New Guinea. It was based on a visit he made in June-August 1955
2
with the purpose of observing existing conditions among Papuans and how these conditions
affected administrative planning and execution. This item was found folded inside the field
notebooks marked “Netherlands New Guinea” in Series 3.
Series 3. Field Notebooks. 1934, 1937-38, 1942-43, 1947 (?), 1955 (5”)
Arranged alphabetically by title on cover or inside cover.
These 14 notebooks are equally divided between Barnett’s two geographic areas of specialization
– Northwest Coast Indians and South Pacific natives. The Indian notes were done between 1934
and 1943. The Palauan observations were made probably during 1947 and 1948, although the
notebooks are not dated. The New Guinea notes are dated 1955. There is an interesting
notebook made when Dr. Barnett taught a class in intercultural exchange at Berkeley in 1943.
Notes on Indian Shakerism can be found in “Yakima” Book 2, p. 131. Miscellaneous papers and
a card found folded inside the books are in a separate folder. Each item contains information in
brackets as to where it was found. Illustrations of the material covered in the notebooks can be
found in Series 8, Photographs, and Series 11, Photographic Slides. Dr. Barnett’s published
works also draw heavily from the material in this series.
Series 4. Dissertation Notebooks. Undated (2”)
Arranged according to author’s numbering.
The research done by Barnett in other publications, which served as background for his Ph.D.
dissertation, is found here. This is valuable for anyone reading his Nature and Function of the
Potlatch, Series 2, and any of his field notebooks dated prior to 1938, Series 3. Illustrations can
be found in Series 8, Coast Salish Indians in British Columbia.
Series 5. Linguistic Material. Bulk Dates - 1941-1965 (2”)
Arranged by language group.
Primers, dictionaries, word lists, research on linguistic methods, and newspapers (if in an
indigenous dialect) are in this group. Not every item is complete in and of itself. There is a
predominance of items produced by missionary endeavor. The Palauan section contains 15
separate items ranging from Psalm I to a reprint of BAE Bulletin article entitled “A Caroline
Islands Script” by Saul Riesenberg and Shigeru Kaneshiro. The New Guinea pidgin English
collection consists of 9 items. A small collection, 3 items, deals with research in Papuan.
Series 6. Scholarly Serials and Periodicals. Bulk Dates – 1950-1973 (6½”)
Arranged alphabetically by name of issuing organization.
3
Publications of scholarly value issued as part of a discernible series by educational, professional
and quasi-governmental groups. Some of the publications are listings of members with their
areas of specialization. Material found in Series 7, Netherlands New Guinea section, contains
much of ethnological, anthropological and linguistic interest as well. The periodicals found in
Series 9 and Series 10 are more general in coverage but very similar in subject. The “folder list”
has an item by item record of this series.
Series 7. Processed and Printed Items. Bulk Dates – 1942-1974 (13”)
Arranged according to geographical area and then by date if possible. Undated items are
grouped at the end.
This group covers the widest range of items from a rare Japanese language volume on Palauan
myths to table place mats printed with the Lord’s Prayer in Chinook. There is a set of directives
and regulations for the Naval administration of the then (1946) newly acquired islands of
Micronesia. These islands were mandated to the United States as a trust territory after the
second World War. They had been a Japanese mandate between the two wars. Micronesia is
now officially called the Federated States of Micronesia. The Marianas voted to become a
territory of the U.S., a decision which some feel was forced on them by U.S. needs for a secure
strategic base in the Western Pacific.
There are newsletters, a calendar, newsclippings, reports and reflections of attempts made by the
U.S. to administer the disparate islands flung over an area as large as the U.S. itself. Of
significance to researchers is the material relating to Netherlands New Guinea. Under the Dutch
form of colonial government, the Bureau of Native Affairs was really a research institute, which
also acted as an official advisory body. In 1955, Dr. Barnett served as a consultant. His report is
found in Series 2 and contains a warning on the influences, which would soon change that area
into West Irian.
Series 8. Photographs. Bulk Dates – 1895-1955 (3½”)
Arranged by geographic area.
Photographic prints and some negatives; some mounted and some loose are in this series. The
folder containing photographs of Yakima Indians are duplicates of those included in NAA. Ms.
4867. They are also reproduced in his book, Indian Shakers. Dr. Barnett’s indications of
whether or not he took the photograph are reflected in the folder list.
Series 9. Micronesian Monthly/Reporter. Nov. 1951-May/June 1963 (5”)
Arranged chronologically.
A newsletter in mimeo form issued monthly until March/April 1956 when it changed its name to
4
Micronesian Reporter and became a bi-monthly publication. It was edited by the staff of the
headquarters of the U.S. Trust Territory in Saipan. Subjects covered include current policy,
reports, illustrations and, of course, news.
Series 10. Quarterly Bulletin of the South Pacific Commission. Jan. 1953-Third Quarter,
1966 (8”)
Arranged chronologically.
The South Pacific Commission is an advisory and consultative body set up by the six
governments responsible for the administration of the island territories in the South Pacific
region. Its purpose is to recommend to members the means of promoting well being of the
native peoples. The headquarters is at Noumea, New Caledonia. The 12 members, 2 for each
government, represent Australia, France, Netherlands, New Zealand, United Kingdom, and the
U.S.
The Quarterly Bulletin contains articles in the three main areas of interest to the Commission –
economic development, health and social development. They often comment on the projects
discussed in the Technical Papers and Social Development Notes of the South Pacific
Commission in Series 6.
Series 11. Photographic Slides and Motion Picture Film. Approximately 900 slides and 2
reels of film.
Arranged according to Barnett’s coded listing.
The subjects covered are scenes, objects, person’s actions, processes of the South Pacific islands,
New Guinea and the Philippines. There are a few slides of Hawaii. Two reels of color motion
picture film are labeled “Philippine Dance 1947.”
Some of the slides taken by Dr. Barnett in Palau in 1947 and 1948 are accompanied by coded
lists, which help to identify the slides. Other slides have information written on the mounts.
Subjects include geographic areas of the U.S. Trust Territory of the Pacific, Australia,
Netherlands New Guinea and the Philippines. Barnett used these slides in his class lectures. It is
easy to note which were not taken by Dr. Barnett due to the difference in subject.
Series 12. Maps. (1/4”)
Arranged geographically.
The seven maps in this series divide into two areas. The first group of maps shows location of
5
Indian reservations in the U.S. in 1887 and another gives the occurrence of Indian languages in
North America, the 1941 Voegelin map. There are also two survey maps of the Straits of
Georgia, British Columbia. The second group of maps includes Malaya, language occurrence in
Papua-New Guinea, and the islands of the U.S. Trust Territory of the Pacific.
