The records in this fonds were created by Mary Frame during her 1995, 2002, 2004, and 2007 trips to Taquile, Peru to visit and document the Quispe-Mamani family. Frame first began to visit the family in 1982, revisiting in 1983, 1984, 1987, 1995, 2002, 2004, and 2007. Creating a strong connection with the family, Frame would visit to see her goddaughter, revisit her friends, and sell the family’s textile work to outsiders and return with the money owed to them. While on trips between 1982 and 1995 Frame collected a number of textiles that are now part of the collection at the Museum of Anthropology.

The records contained in this fonds include colour negatives, printed colour photographs, colour slides, Mary’s detailed typewritten notes (of her time with the family, descriptions and history of each family member, and item-level photographic descriptions), and CDs. The fonds is organised into four files according to each year of visit.

The records in this fonds were created by Paul Hockings and his students regarding the Cesnola Collection, Sid and Florence Leary Collection, and the Baron van Haersolte van den Doorn Collection. Hockings’ notes, drawings, and photos were made while working at MOA with Audrey Hawthorn on an exhibit on Bronze Age Style in the Eastern Mediterranean. Most material was created in the spring of 1958 with a view to producing a monograph on the Cesnola Collection, though this was never finished. Included is Hockings’ 1963 article “Ceramic Style in Prehistoric Cyprus” and three students’ papers.
