Biographical history
Paul Hocking was born in 1935 near Haileybury College, England. He developed a passion for pre-history and museums at a young age, pursuing studies in Near-Eastern archaeology at Sydney University before moving to North America. On the continent, he worked at MOA briefly before earning an M.A. and Ph.D., conducting fieldwork in South India with the Badaga people. Hockings was prolific, with his career spanning continents, books, and films. He made particular contributions to the study of South Indian cultures and demographics, editing several key journals in the field and becoming a professor emeritus at the University of Illinois.
Custodial history
Scope and content
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.
The records contained in this fonds include handwritten notes, correspondence, photographic prints, articles, and unpublished student papers. The fonds is organised into five files according to form.
