scopecontent: label: Scope and Contents
content: The collection consists of seventy (70) drawings.  The bulk of the collection is comprised of sixty-nine (69) drawings by Margaret Magill depicting artifacts found at the Heshotauthla site in New Mexico during the Hemenway Expedition.  The drawings were used illustrate "Ancient Zuni Pottery" by Jesse Walter Fewkes. 

One (1) of the drawings is by Wells M. Sawyer and depicts an altar at Oraibi.    A version of this subject by a different artist appears in "The Katcina altars in Hopi worship" also by Fewkes (1927).  Fewkes states the illustration was taken from Voth, H. R. (Henry R.), 1855-1931. The Oraibi Powamu Ceremony. Chicago, 1901.  This drawing appears to be unrelated to the work of the Hemenway Expedition and it is unclear how it became associated with this collection.

Please note that the contents of the collection and the language and terminology used reflect the context and culture of the time of its creation. As an historical document, its contents may be at odds with contemporary views and terminology and considered offensive today. The information within this collection does not reflect the views of the Smithsonian Institution or National Anthropological Archives, but is available in its original form to facilitate research.
