Anthropology
What is ethnography?
Ethnographies at the library
Type in your culture name AND ethnograph* in the search box on the library homepage.
Example: blackfoot AND ethnograph* - This search will look for the words blackfoot and ethnography, ethnographies, ethnographic anywhere in the document.
To be more specific, use culture name AND title: ethnograph* to look for variations on ethnography in the title.
E-resources
Browse or search by culture name or subject in eHRAF World Cultures - Use the OCM number for example 224 "Hunting and Trapping" to retrieve material exactly on that subject.
What does it have?
Collection documents (ebooks, chapters, articles and culture summaries) that have been thoroughly indexed so you can jump directly to a relevant passage.
Why use it?
It's created by anthropologists. You can study individual cultures, but it'll also allow you to do cross-cultural research.
Can't find the eHRAF document?
eHRAF is the online version of HRAF. eHRAF has the more recent materials, but might be missing some of the older sources. If you'd like to look at the older sources, use this process:
1. Check the complete collection list to see which format it is available in and the coverage dates. Also available in excel.
2. Request the microfiche to be delivered to the TFDL (in storage at the High Density Storage Library)
