content: Unedited camera original film shot by Klima over the course of his anthropological fieldwork in northern Tanzania, 1955-1959. Footage, intended both for use as research data and eventually as sequences in Barabaig (1979), includes cattle herding, rituals, and ceremonies; a betrothal; a circumcision; boys hunting; and everyday chores and life of the Barabaig. Documentation includes sequence-by-sequence notes found inside film cans. Exact dates are difficult to determine, as stock dates are mixed within reels and documentation is undated.

Labels from original reels are recorded in the title field. Klima's original reels were assembled into larger rolls for preservation by the archivist; the order of these rolls follows Klima's original numbering.
