content: This subseries documents Silverman's first field research, which was conducted in the village of Montecastello di Vibio for her dissertation. This material accounts for the majority of this series. Silverman's trip can be traced through her field notebooks and diaries, while the progression of her research can be seen in note cards. These, along with what she called "MCV Data," reveal the themes and topics she identified for further study. MCV was Silverman's acronym for Montecastello di Vibio. She eventually focused on the village's agrarian system for her dissertation. For related photographs, see Series 9. Photographs.
