- Scope and content:
-
Articles, recorded interviews, correspondence, grant applications, manuscripts, research notes, card files, and other materials related to projects on anthropologist, journalist, and photographer Gertrude Duby Blom, who documented the culture and struggles of Mexican indigenous peoples such as the Lacandón. Materials center around Harris's work with Blom on the book Gertrude Blom: Bearing Witness (1984) and the related exhibition at the International Center for Photography, also 1984, co-curated by Harris and Margaret Sartor. Arranged alphabetically by topic. Photos of indigenous tribes, probably from this period, are also found in Box 57.
The Rubenstein Library also holds a small collection of Blom's photographic prints of the Lacandón.
