Papers of Roger Francis Griffin

The collection consists primarily of forty-two bound volumes covering Roger Griffin's research and publications from circa 1955 to circa 1991. Topics and publications include observation logs, Observatory Magazine, The Spectroscopic Binaries, Griffin's Fellowship dissertation for St John's, computing, RV reductions, spectroscopy, and radial velocities.

Seven card-index boxes, made by Griffin, contain many years' worth of raw data from radial-velocity spectrometer observations. Digital versions can be viewed at https://www.squarewheels.org.uk/rfg/unpub/ .

There are also notebooks containing material on observations and telescope maintenance, a chart roll of spectrometer output, a 1977 leaflet on the Cambridge North Norway Expedition, and papers on the Cripps development at St John's.

Papers of Sir Jack Goody

  • Goody
  • Fonds
  • 1950–2000 (Circa)

The collections consists primarily of academic material pertaining to Goody’s professional life, including:

● Correspondence with colleagues
● Correspondence with publishers
● Administrative material
● Field notes and field recordings
● Archival reproductions
● Diaries and notebooks
● Loose-leaf notes, lectures, articles
● Reviews by Goody
● Reviews of Goody
● Offprints of papers by Goody and others

Personal correspondence and documentation also appear, as do a book-length and perhaps fictionalised war narrative, Goody’s war diary, and a typescript of his autobiography. Five boxes contain writings by or pertaining to Goody’s colleague J.A. Braimah; three boxes of papers towards a history of social anthropology contain correspondence with, and writings by, other colleagues, particularly Meyer Fortes.

Approximately half of the material relates to Goody’s research into Ghana, with particular attention paid to the Gonja, the LoDagaa and the Bagre myth. There are notes, archival indices, photographs, concordances, interviews, slides, survey data and sound recordings, as well as microfilms of material consulted in archives circa 1964.

There is also material on West Africa and on the continent more broadly, on the Mediterranean, on China, and on Gujarat, India.

In addition to these geographical groupings, there are files of notes, lectures, essays and suchlike on various subtopics (pertaining to Ghana and elsewhere). Some run to multiple boxes, and some fill only slim folders; in total these subtopics take up no more than 20% of the physical space of the collection, but in other respects they cover much ground. Among the many labels Goody chose are: beverages; class; domestication; drugs; economics (including the economics of slavery); family; flowers; folk tales; food; gender; hats; iconography; kalabule and African socialism; kinship; knowledge; limits; literacy; love and law; marriage; the mind; modernity; modes of production; monastic households; nature and culture; nudity; oral culture; politics/law/war; property; puritanism; religion; riots and rebellions; science; semiotics; senses and sensations; social evolution; sorcery; terror; thought; trade; travel; the week; widows; and the written word.

Creation dates range from the 1930s to the 2010s.

Goody, Sir John Rankine 'Jack' (1919-2015) Knight and anthropologist
