Tres Zapotes Archaeological Survey, 1996

在国家科学基金会的支持下，位于加州尤基亚市的格雷斯哈德逊博物馆将展出19世纪末和20世纪初收集的波莫人材料。波莫印第安人居住在加州的这个地区，在旧金山弗朗西斯科和格雷斯哈德逊的北部，她的父亲和后来的丈夫以一种仔细和系统的方式收集波莫人的材料。在大多数情况下，随收藏而来的文件都很详细，照片、系统的人种学调查、实地笔记和相关信件增加了这些材料的科学价值。不幸的是，这些收藏品缺乏组织，缺乏编目和交叉引用，这使得除了最有知识和最持久的研究人员之外，所有人都无法访问这些重要的收藏品。美国国家科学基金会已经提供了一笔赠款，用于重新转录语言手稿，对照片进行编目和注释，并对人种学文物进行编目。目前的奖项将允许史密斯-费里女士继续这一进程。将对书面材料和照片进行关联、注释、索引和相互参照。这些资料和文件本身将通过使用缩微胶卷和光盘技术提供给感兴趣的用户、拥有相关收藏品的机构和印第安社区。 最后一位波莫人的母语是非常古老的，关于早期历史上的波莫人生活方式的大部分已知信息都包含在哈德逊博物馆和其他一些机构的收藏中。这些资料不仅具有重要的历史意义，而且是宝贵的科学资源。然而，在目前的条件下，它们很难使用，这笔赠款将大大增加它们进入科学界的机会。

With National Science Foundation support, the Grace Hudson Museum, which is located in the city of Ukiah, California, will curate the Pomoan materials collected during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The Pomo Indians inhabited this region of California to the North of San Francisco and Grace Hudson, her father and later her husband collected Pomoan materials in a careful and systematic fashion. The documentation which accompanies the collections is, in most cases, detailed and the scientific value of the materials is increased by photographs, systematic ethnographic investigation, field notebooks and related correspondence. Unfortunately the collection suffers from disorganization and a lack of cataloguing and cross-referencing that renders much of these important holdings inaccessible to all but the most knowledgeable and persistent researchers. NSF has already awarded a grant to re-transcribe linguistic manuscripts, catalogue and annotate photographs and catalog ethnographic artifacts. This current award will allow MS Smith-Ferri to continue this process. Written materials and photographs will be correlated, annotated, indexed and cross-referenced. The information and papers themselves will be made available to interested users, institutions with related collections and Indian communities through the use of both microfilm and CD-ROM technology. The last native speaker of Pomo is extremely old and much of what is known of early historic Pomoan lifeways is contained in the collections of the Hudson Museum and a few other institutions. Not only are these materials of great historical significance, but they are also invaluable scientific resources. In the current condition however they are very difficult to use and this grant will significantly increase their access to the scientific community.
