Many will be impressed by the grandeur of this large neo-renaissance building that was completed in 1889. Few, however, will pay much attention to the peculiar sculptural works embellished in the façades. Upon closer inspection, one can see a muscular, barely dressed, humble-looking Javanese man (recognizable by his typical Javanese headscarf) greeting a bearded European-looking man.

  • Kamoro Bibliography
    Kamoro Bibliography AN ANNOTATED BIBLIOGRAPHY FOR THE KAMORO PEOPLE (Last Modified, February 2000) Introduction This bibliography provides references to writings on the Kamoro people of Irian Jaya's south coast. Note that Kamoro people are also occasionally referred to in the literature as Kokonao, Lakahia, Mimika, Mukamuga, Umari, Uta, Utakwa or Utanata. There is some confusion about the status of the Sempan community, neighbours of the Kamoro to the east, who are sometimes described as Kamoro people but are linguistically distinct from Kamoro; references to the Sempan are included in this bibliography. This bibliography is supplemented by a larger bibliography on mining in Irian Jaya, which contains further references to Kamoro people in relation to the operations of P.T. Freeport Indonesia (Ballard, n.d., A Bibliography of the Mineral Resource Industry in Irian Jaya, UABSR #4). The main aim of this bibliography is thus to cover as much as possible of the literature relating to the Kamoro people outside of the context of their relationship with P.T. Freeport Indonesia. Students at the Universitas Cenderawasih and STFT made an important contribution by reading and provided summaries of some of the material listed here; they include Martinus Doo, Nella Fakdawer, Krisologus Jeuyanan, Matias Kainon, Edoardus Kaize, Philips Maturbongs, Yohanes Nawak, Eusebius Nggala, Agustina Niningsih, Wilhelmus I.G. Saur, Dhanny Sutopo and Subroto Purbo Yempormase. Anton Ploeg has greatly assisted in the compilation of the bibliography by supplying numerous references, names and addresses, and in the correction of errors in draft versions. Tito Hermawan assisted with translations from Indonesian, and Mark Donohue and Connie van Praag with translations from Dutch.

The aim of this publication is to contribute to the debate about the significance of the physical anthropological collections in museums around the world, taking the Tropenmuseum collection as an example.

In absolute terms because the number of recent books and articles on this topic is minimal, and in relative terms because the history of 'colonial medicine' in other areas, particularly those with a British colonial past, has received much more attention over the last decade or so. This sorry state of affairs cannot be attributed to a lack of unpublished or printed primary and secondary sources. Particularly the colonial medical services produced vast numbers of monographs and articles on health care, medical research and training in the then Netherlands Indies.1 In addition to these publications, there is a wealth of descriptions of individual 'tropical' diseases, 'medical topographies', and studies of local or regional indigenous health practices ('folk-medicine'). As research on these topics in the archives of Indonesia and the Netherlands has hardly even begun, it is impossible to give an idea of the quantities involved, but potential researchers can be assured of an abundant harvest. Reading through the few available recent studies, one is struck by the fact that Dutch authors in particular have opted for - to borrow a phrase - the custodial approach.2 They describe the organization of the colonial medical services, the various 'campaigns' launched by these services, the training of 1 For a recent overview of this literature see Mesters (1991).
