Scope and Contents
This sub-series documents Carpenter's research related to Robert Flaherty and Flaherty's work on the Inuit ("Eskimo") hunter Comock. Carpenter served as the editor to The Story of Comock the Eskimo, as told to Robert Flaherty (1968), which was later re-published as Comock: The True Story of an Eskimo Hunter (2003). The bulk of the sub-series consists of compiled and reproduced research files on Flaherty, Comock, and Inuit art and archaeology. These files include reference photographs and photocopies from archival repositories; newspaper and magazine clippings; biographies and reviews; and notes. Also included is correspondence related not only to Comock and Flaherty, but to Carpenter's other Arctic and Inuit projects. Of note in this sub-series is an incomplete mock-up of a book labeled "Comock, Enooesweetok and Flaherty," as well as a galley of the French translation of The Story of Comock the Eskimo, as told to Robert Flaherty ("L'Histoire de Comock L'Esquimau"). Also included is Richard Leacock's recounting of his experience with Robert Flaherty creating 1948's Louisiana Story. Related material can be found in sub-series 2.2: "Eskimo Mapping."
Series Restrictions
Use of archival sound recordings with no duplicate access copy requires advance notice.
