This file contains one teacher’s handbook, one 16-page photocopied document, and 57 colour and black and white photographic prints presumably taken by Victoria Henry during her trip to Goroka, Papua New Guinea. The photographs depict the town’s inhabitants in town, at the market, outside their homes, and in ceremony. The file includes a 16-page black and white scan of the original placement of photos in its former photo album. A Goroka Teachers’ College handbook is also included, possibly related to a photograph #55 of a schoolroom (on photo sheet #8), and contains a curriculum book to obtain a Diploma in Teaching from the country’s Department of Education.

This file contains correspondences from James B. Watson, with the Department of Anthropology at the University of Washington, including multiple publications and draft papers shared with Wilson Duff. These include an introduction given at the 1968 Northwest Anthropological Conference in Portland, Oregon as well as the conference schedule. The introduction and three additional texts in the file are focused on the matter of leadership in 'small societies', mostly focused on the Tairora community of Abiera, in Papua New Guinea, and a leader named Mátoto.

Texts authored by Watson theorize about the nature and allowance of Mátoto's despotic behaviour, as characterised by the author. A paper authored by Sylvia Gronewold attempts to draw comparisons between specific individuals from the Zulu, Caribou Inuit [Kivallirmiut] and Tairora peoples, and proposes that the authoritarian behaviours of some leaders in these communities arose as a result of European contact.
