abstract: label: Summary
content: The papers of Edward C. Green, circa 1970-2016, document his work as an applied medical anthropologist and research consultant focusing principally on the distribution and prevention of AIDS and sexually transmitted diseases in Africa and South America. Much of Green's research and policy focus lay in understanding indigenous health belief systems and instituting locally-designed approaches to major health concerns. The collection consists of correspondence, field diaries and typed research, sound recordings, photographs, and published reports and articles, including material from his dissertation research among the Matawai Maroons of Suriname.

processinfo: label: Processing Information
content: The collection arrived at the National Anthropological Archives organized by material type. At the series level, that original organization has been retained. A chronological arrangement of materials within each series and subseries was imposed by the processor. In the case of Subseries 1.3: Cards, the processor attempted to reconstruct out of uncertain order the relationships of the various topics and sub-categories identified by the creator (i.e., the sub-category "Affinity" was moved under the topic "Kinship"). Individual research cards were not rearranged to reflect chronology or any other organizational principle, thus retaining as best as possible the original relationships created by Green. Collection materials were rehoused and sticky notes attached to papers were photocopied and discarded. In Series 2: Correspondence, mailing envelopes were also discarded.

scopecontent: label: Scope and Contents
content: The papers of Edward C. Green, circa 1970-2016, document his field research in Africa, Asia, Europe, the Middle East, and South America and his career as an applied medical anthropologist and research consultant focusing principally on the distribution and prevention of AIDS and sexually transmitted diseases. The collection consists of correspondence, field diaries and typed research, photographs, sound recordings, and published reports and articles.

The bulk of the material covers Green's field research undertaken predominantly in the Dominican Republic, Mozambique, Suriname, and Swaziland. Of note are sound recordings of interviews, songs, and rituals recorded in Suriname between 1971 and 1973. These recordings document the Matawai dialect of the Saramaccan language, an endagered creole dialect derived from Portuguese, English, and Afro-Caribbean sources. Correspondence in the collection dates from 1973 to 2015 and is a mix of personal and professional correspondence with colleagues and friends. Publications retained in the collection consist primarily of reports on healthcare policy and education, produced between 1978 and 2016 and written for state agencies and non-governmental organizations for which Green worked as a consultant. The bulk of the reports were produced with funding from the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) or one of its subsidiary funds.
