34 SMITHSONIAN MISCELLANEOUS COLLECTIONS VOL. IO7 



requests specified disciplines, for example, social anthropologists with 

 field experience in social analysis. Others desired names of indi- 

 viduals who might have specific materials, such as large-scale maps of 

 Greece. When this last request was answered, the accompanying letter 

 pointed out that most of the individuals were archeologists and con- 

 sequently it might be advisable to inquire about Balkan maps in gen- 

 eral at the same time. 



2. SOURCES OF PHOTOGRAPHS 



More elaborate compilations utilized the detailed information con- 

 tained in the roster. These are illustrated by the "Sources of Photo- 

 graphs" lists. The roster questionnaire included data on numbers of 

 photographs, feet of motion picture film, maps, and other materials 

 such as diaries, unpublished manuscripts, etc. Dr. Fenton compiled 

 this information in terms of the areas which would most likely be 

 of greatest interest to the Army and Navy, after considered consulta- 

 tion with the respective liaison officers. One compilation consisted 

 of four parts and an index, entitled as follows: 



I. Sources of photographs on Netherlands East Indies ; not already requested 

 by the Navy Department; together with a map showing their distri- 

 bution. 

 II. Sources of photographs on Southeastern Asia (Burma, Thailand, Indo- 

 China and Malaya). 



III. Sources of photographs on Japan (Chosen, Japan, and Formosa). 



IV. Sources of photographs on the Philippine Islands. 



Index to sources of photographs of I-IV above. 



These four sections and index made up a manuscript of i88 pages. 

 After each individual name was the standard information on nation- 

 ality, address, profession, years and months of residence in the area, 

 and also the quantity of pictures, maps, and miscellaneous information 

 which he claimed to possess. If any war agency had already requested 

 the materials, this fact was noted together with the name of the 

 agency. Those whom the Ethnogeographic Board had already circu- 

 larized for the Navy were not included, as the document titles state. 



The sources of photographs for each particular region were indi- 

 cated by numbers on a large-scale map. In the index the names in the 

 four reports were numbered consecutively so that a reference to the 

 specific sources of photographs could also be indicated on the maps. 

 The job of actually obtaining the photographs and other materials 

 was left in the hands of the Army and Navy.
