content: This series contains photos from Laderman's field work in Malaysia, some of which were published in her monographs Wives and Midwives: Childbirth and Nutrition in Rural Malaysia and Taming the Wind of Desire. Consisting of prints, negatives, slides, and negative transparencies, the photos are mostly of midwives and shamans treating their patients. Many of the photos are of various Main Peteri ceremonies, including one in which Laderman's son Raphael participated as a patient. In addition, there are photos of her research consultants, families, houses, shadow puppets, Mak Yong (traditional Malay dance drama), weddings, and festivals. The photos are undated but were most likely taken during her fieldwork in Malaysia in 1975 to 1977 and 1982.

Also in this series are copies of a photo of Laderman used for publications and publicity. 

While the negatives and slides were rehoused in archival sleeves, this series was left largely unsorted. Thus, one may find duplicates of an image in multiple folders. Laderman's original organization was retained; the original groupings are represented by folders and negative dividers. Prints do not exist for all of the negatives, and it has not been determined whether negatives exist for all of the prints.
