Microfilm Collection of Manuscripts on Cultural Anthropology
The Microfilm Collection of Manuscripts on Cultural Anthropology (MCMCA) is a series of field notes in anthropology. The series was started in the 1940s by Norman McQuown, Professor of Anthropology and Linguistics at the University of Chicago. Over the course of 48 years, its subject scope has widened considerably, and it has come to include unpublished literature of various kinds as well as field notes. The Microfilm Collection was a pioneer effort to preserve and disseminate a body of valuable scholarly material that might otherwise have vanished. The Collection was microfilmed by the University of Chicago Library and is available for use on site in the Joseph Regenstein Microforms Reading Room and for loan via Interlibrary Loan.
