Scope and Content Note

The current holdings represent only a small portion of Rosemary Gianno's professional papers. The rest of the papers are in active use and remain with Dr. Gianno. The undated article on Peter Williams-Hunt (series 1, folder 5) provides background information that relates to the prints of aerial photographs (series 2). The July 2001 interview with John Davie (Series 3) also included the Earl of Cranbrook as interviewee. The published maps, ranging in date from 1909 through 1900, are from her personal collection.

Processing Note

Photographs (series 2) in boxes 7-9 have been processed and given individual item numbers however there is not a complete list of captions so they are listed in the inventory below at the box level. Photographs in boxes 10-12 are partially processed. Negatives (box 10) have been matched with prints (in boxes 7-9) according to the series. Slides and enlargements of photograghs have been housed but not further arranged. Semelai music recordings have been recorded from a collection of 13 cassette field recordings of music and dialogue. The songs are tracked but not matched yet with the songs on the accompanying transcript. Each CD indicates the tape from which the songs were obtained and will need to be matched with their titles in the future. The original recordings with dialogue are held by R. Gianno.
