Harvard University (Peabody Museum of Archaeology and Ethnology, Harvard University)

The Peabody Museum of Archaeology and Ethnology will catalog and digitize the Marshall Family Archives, which document the Marshall's eight expeditions to the Northwest Kalahari region of Africa (1950-1961) and illuminate how the region's indigenous peoples lived before their extended contact with the "modern world." The archives will be accessible on the museum's website via Collections Online, for use by K-12 educators, anthropologists, scholars, and members of the general public who are looking for insights into the culture of traditional Kalahari communities. The museum will collaborate with the Museums of Namibia; !Khwa ttu Heritage Center; the University of Cape Town, South Africa; and the San Research Centre at the University of Botswana to disseminate the newly digitized material to the Kalahari San people.
