scopecontent: label: Scope and Contents
content: This series consists of Ann Dunham's field notebooks dated 1977-1994. The content includes notes from her years of fieldwork in central Java; notes on some of her work-related travel, including Pakistan; experiences as a consultant, including her market potential surveys for the World Bank; and notes on readings.

The earliest field notes were written up at the end of the day, primarily in English, as Dunham was learning Indonesian and Javanese languages with the help of her research assistants. The later field notes were written directly as she interviewed in the field, recording the answers to questionnaires, often in a mixture of Indonesian, Javanese, and English.
