content: This series contains photographs of Watson's fieldwork and professional career. The bulk of his fieldwork photographs are from Del Norte, Co. and Papua New Guinea. The Del Norte photographs include aerial images along with photographs of residents, houses, and cultural activities. The photographs from Papua New Guinea include images of a taro garden, a woman before and at her marriage ceremony, and images of tools found at an excavation site near the Wahgi Valley. Accompanying the tool photographs are two letters by Harold Nelson. Other photographs include images of Watson speaking and the American Anthropological Association annual meeting banquet, 1947. Files are arranged alphabetically.
