scopecontent: label: Scope and Contents
content: This series contains the field notes made by Green, in various media formats, between 1970 and 2016. It consists of sound recordings, handwritten diaries, typed field notes, printed notecards, transcriptions, and images from research trips to various African, South American, East Asian, Middle Eastern, and Eastern European locations.

The bulk of the series contains field notes made by Green during his dissertation research among the Matawai Maroons of Suriname. Sound recordings (circa 1970-1984) in this series document the endangered Matawai dialect of the Saramaccan language. Also included are Green's handwritten and typed field diaries (1971-2016) from his dissertation research and his career as an applied medical anthropologist, documenting research trips to the Dominican Republic, Mozambique, Swaziland, and other international locations. Transcriptions of diary entries with modified notes and narrative information (1970-2016) are also in this series. While containing field notes dated to Green's research trips, these files were compiled and edited by Green in 2016-2018 in preparation for the transfer of his materials to the National Anthropological Archives. Typewritten notecards in this series (1971-1973) condense and arrange Green's dissertation field notes from Suriname. The series also contains digital photographs (circa 1970-2016), primarily of research in Suriname and Africa, as well as 1 digital file containing Green's "Matawai dictionary" (2016).
