Field Notes
Series
Scope and Contents
From the Collection:
The Charles C. Hughes papers (1946-1957) consist of diaries, field and research notes, and a dissertation relating to the time that Charles C. Hughes (1929-1997) spent living with the Sivuokakhmeit Eskimos on St. Lawrence Island, Alaska. The diaries typically consist of typed interviews with Eskimos in Gambell, a village on St. Lawrence Island. They also contain his personal sentiments and opinions regarding the island and its people. The field notes are often exact duplicates of the diaries. However, there are some differences between the two. The field notes tend to have more research-related information, while the diaries are more personal in nature. The collection has two notebooks of older, government documents regarding the island, Gambell in particular. Two notebooks containing research questions and surveys Hughes wished to answer are also included in the collection.
