Scope and content
The file contains what appear to be narrative accession notes for seven (7) items donated to MOA by Dr. George H. Raley in 1948-1949. Notes and catalogue records provide provenance and cultural context, including information pertaining to object numbers A1571 a-b (noted as 18 Bella Bella/Shaman's box; poss. A1764 a-b), A1465, A1776 a-c (noted as 'The angel'), possibly A6519 (listed as A1138), A1800 (Gumbegalis/ancestor figure), and other objects that may have been repatriated or which are not currently identifiable in the MOA Catalogue.
Notes provide dates of 1948 and 1949 for Duff's conversation with Dr. Raley. Several objects incorrectly attribute communities of origin due outdated practice of grouping peoples based on linguistic similarities.
