content: This series is comprised mostly of Harwood's Safwa field recordings.  These include recordings of ceremonies and speech recordings of Kamalila and various dialects of Kisafwa and Kinyiha.  Also in the series is an audio letter from Harwood to his parents and an audio letter from Harold Conklin, Mario Bick, Georgeda Buchbinder Bick, and Michiko Takaki.  

Harwood's descriptions of the sound recordings can be found at the beginning of the series along with transcriptions and translations of recorded ceremonies.  The descriptions below are from "Index of Tape Recordings (made 1962-64)."  The recordings referred to as Tapes 6, 10, and 11 in the index contain audio letters to Harwood from a friend; these were removed from the collection and returned to Harwood.  The numbers in the far left columns below were assigned by the processing archivist.
