The John Marshall Ju/'hoan Bushman Film and Video Collection, 1950-2000, Human Studies Film Archives, Smithsonian Institution.
Arrangement
Series 6 is arranged in 5 subseries: SUBSERIES: !KUNG PROJECTS Spans 1952-2004. The bulk of material (1986-2001) relates to the production of "Death by Myth, which came to be known as "A Kalahari Family". Also includes files relating to published and unpublished short films, the published film "N!ai, The Story of a !Kung Woman" (1978-1980), and the Peabody Museum Exhibit Video (1991). SUBSERIES: ADMINISTRATIVE Spans 1960-2004 [BULK: 1990-2001]. Contains legal and financial records, many of which relate to "A Kalahari Family" and two private companies set up by Marshall to produce that series --Kalahari Family Productions and, later, Kalfam Productions. SUBSERIES: SUE CABEZAS Spans 1978-1993. These were Sue Marshall Cabezas's files during her time as Executive Director of DER and Co-Producer of "Death by Myth". Original organization was largely lost due to several moves; they are now organized chronologically, except for one group (Nippon A-V) at the end of the folder list, which had been grouped together with elastic bands. SUBSERIES: PITTSBURGH POLICE Spans 1968-1977. Mostly regarding attempts to have the films broadcast, used in police training, or incorporated into a course curriculum. SUBSERIES: OTHER PROJECTS Spans 1960-1980. Includes "Vermont Kids", "If It Fits", and the 1976 Festival of American Folklife, as well as several uncompleted projects and some projects undertaken by Tim Asch while at Documentary Educational Resources.
