The O.W. (Bud) Hampton Archive from Highland Irian Jaya
Gifts from the Hampton Family
This archive contains artifacts and documentations collected by Dr. Bud Hampton in the Highland over an 18-year period (1982-1999). There are approximately 1000 artifacts from daily and ritual lives, which include many stone tools, accessories, and very rare textile materials such as spider-web cloths and looped fiber bags.
The Tracing Patterns Foundation has agreed to take on the task of conserving and documenting this important archive. We seek collaborations from scholars and other organizations on this project. We will keep the collection for the next few years while this work is going on and until we find a permanent home for it. We will receive the archive in mid-December. We will continue to update you with more information
