Scope & content <strong>American</strong> <strong>Council</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Learned</strong> <strong>Societies</strong>. <strong>Committee</strong> on Native <strong>American</strong> Languages. 1... The Collection <strong>of</strong> the <strong>American</strong> <strong>Council</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Learned</strong> Socities <strong>Committee</strong> <strong>of</strong> Native <strong>American</strong> Languages is one <strong>of</strong> the largest and most significant primary resources for study <strong>of</strong> the indigenous languages <strong>of</strong> North America. Beginning with the creation <strong>of</strong> the <strong>Committee</strong> in 1927, and periodically added to since by the APS, the collection has grown to over 80 linear feet <strong>of</strong> material representing at least 166 languages and dialects from the United States, Canada, and Mexico. The formats range from field notes and ethnographic texts to slip files, vocabularies, lexica, and grammars, and dozens <strong>of</strong> linguists and Native consultants are represented. Although most <strong>of</strong> the material was collected in the 1920s and 1930s, a signficant number <strong>of</strong> items have been added that extends the range <strong>of</strong> dates represented backward into the 1880s and forward in the late 1950s. Includes notes and manuscripts <strong>of</strong> Franz Boas; materials solicited by and sent to Boas from field workers and native informants; manuscripts submitted for publication in the International Journal <strong>of</strong> <strong>American</strong> Linguistics (1917-1939); manuscripts resulting from research supported by the <strong>Committee</strong> on <strong>American</strong> Native Languages <strong>of</strong> the <strong>American</strong> <strong>Council</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Learned</strong> <strong>Societies</strong> (1927-1937); papers <strong>of</strong> anthropologists and linguists associated with Boas and Edward Sapir; reports and other materials resulting from Phillips Fund grants made by the APS. During the 1940s, the ACLS collection was arranged by language (and language family) by C. F. Voegelin and Zellig S. Harris, who also listed a significant quantity <strong>of</strong> miscellaneous non-linguistic material. Their index was published in a supplement to Language 21, 3 (1945). Among the non-linguistic material not indexed by Voegelin and Harris are data on folklore, mythology, and general ethnology, with some emphasis on African <strong>American</strong>s, Africans, and the work <strong>of</strong> Boas's colleagues in Russia. Since its arrival in Philadelphia, the APS has periodically added additional material to the collection. Among the more notable additions are some highly important field notes and other material donated by Alfred Kroeber in 1946 relating to early research (1902-1910) on California Athabascan languages (Chilula, Hupa, Kato, Mattole, Nongatl, Pomo, Sinkyoke, Tolowa, Wailaki, and Whilkut), and a suite <strong>of</strong> manuscripts by Edward Sapir presented by his family and colleagues in 1972. A number <strong>of</strong> individual linguists have also contributed individually to the collection, including Edward Ahenakew, Morris Swadesh, Kenneth Cr<strong>of</strong>t, Norman A. McQuown, Gordon Marsh, and C. F. Voegelin. This finding aid is intended to parallel the online Daythal Kendall Guide to Native <strong>American</strong> Collections at the <strong>American</strong> Philosophical Society, with most entries culled verbatim. The materials in this finding aid are arranged according to language, dialect, cultural group, or region, and then by call number. When applicable, references to micr<strong>of</strong>ilm versions are included at the end <strong>of</strong> the entry. Native <strong>American</strong> Images Note : Nearly 1,700 images <strong>of</strong> Northwest Coast Native <strong>American</strong>s in linguistic notebooks collected from 1900-1940. Black and white silver gelatin photographs and sketch drawings by native consultants given to ethnologists Franz Boas, Edward Sapir, and Jaime de Angulo. Pencil sketches <strong>of</strong> clothing, utensils, musical instruments, decorative patterns, weapons, and totem figures <strong>of</strong> primarily Salish, Nootka, and Quileute tribes. Of particular interest, color pencil sketches <strong>of</strong> Bella Bella (Heiltsuk) masks. Numerous Nootka face paintings are also <strong>of</strong> note. In oversize, a linguistic map <strong>of</strong> the southern - Page 12 -
