This bibliography provides a key to the literature on the indigenous peoples of New Guinea, including Irian Barat and the smaller islands of the Trustee­ n Ethnographic Bibliography ship Territory. It contains some ten thousand entries ranging from mid­ nineteenth-century publications to those appearing in 1964 and covers all aspects of the traditional and changing cultures of New Guinea of the people. The items are arranged in three lists: by author, by the adminis­ trative Districts concerned, and by the proper names of places, languages, and social groups. It represents the first attempt to cover the ethnographic literature of the whole region in one work.

AUS 67-898 Contents Volume 1 Preface Bibliographies and Reference Works Author Index Volume 2 District Index Volume 3 Proper Names Index Preface The bibliography presented here is intended as an aid to research on the traditional and changing indigenous cultures of New Guinea. The literature on this region consists of books and articles published in many different countries and in several languages over a period of more than a century. The places, peoples and languages mentioned in these works are referred to by a confusing variety of names that are hard to sort out, and many of the publica­ tions are difficult to find. The ethnographic map of New Guinea still has many blank patches, and the large number of inquiries still in progress makes pre­ mature any attempt at a definitive account of New Guinea societies and cultures comparable to The Handbook of South American Indians or The Ethnographic Survey of Africa. Yet the full significance of contemporary field investigations can be realised only if full use is made of the information collected and reported on by earlier generations, and for this some guide to the literature is required. In 1954 or thereabouts the late Professor S. F. Nadel mooted the compilation of an annotated bibliography of the ethnographic literature on New Guinea for internal departmental use, and in 1957 Miss Helen Woodger began working part-time on the indexing of articles. The work was completed ten years later under the direction of Dr Diane Barwick. In addition to many typists who prepared cards and slips, those who worked on the bibliography in various capacities and for varying periods include Mrs J. C. Abrahams, Miss S. Baume, Mrs A. Brown, Miss C. Burton, Mrs H. D. Clark, Mr M. V. George, Mrs M. Grimshaw, Mrs R. J. lnall, Mrs S. Jain, Mrs B. Key, Mr E. Land, Mrs M. Langridge, Mrs E. Olgay, Miss S. Partridge, Mr A. Ploeg, Miss S. Prince, Mrs J. Smith, Mrs M. H. van de Graaff, Dr M. M. van der Borght, Mrs J. P. Wheatley and Mr C. Willis. The completion of the work would have been impossible without their continuing endeavour in a task that must often have seemed endless. Compilation was greatly assisted by the help and technical advice given by the staffs of the National Library of Australia, Australian Institute of Aboriginal Studies, Mitchell Library, and the. Australian National University Library, particularly Mr Tim Ellis and Mrs Norma Galloway. The portion of the bibliography dealing with the Sepik District of T.P.N.G. was published in mimeographed format in 1963 and in view of its favourable reception the decision was taken to publish the whole. The area covered extends from 130° to 160° longitude east of Greenwich and consists of the Territory of Papua (formerly British New Guinea), the Trusteeship Territory of New Guinea (formerly part of Schutzgebiet Deutsch-Neuguinea) and the Indonesian territory of Irian Barat (formerly Nederlands Nieuw Guinea). Works published up to and including 1964 are included. Some items dealing with the physical environment are listed, and a selection of those concerned with prehistory, physical anthropology and language, but the bibliography is intended to be complete only in the fields of material culture and social organi- sation. There are three lists. The author index gives full bibliographic informa­ tion about items arranged alphabetically by author, and chronologically for each author. The District index lists items arranged by the administrative Districts, as in 1960, to which they refer. The proper names index shows, for each of a comprehensive but not complete selection of the proper names of physical features, languages and social groups mentioned in the literature, those items in which the name occurs. There is some cross-referencing. Innumerable items that were scanned have been omitted as falling outside the scope of the bibliography. Nevertheless it is obvious that some items that should have been included have been inadvertently left out. It is hoped that arrangements can be made to issue from time to time supplements showing what has been published since 1964 and it should be possible to include addi­ tional items from the earlier period. Any information about items that should have been included, and about errors that may come to light, will be gratefully received.
