Collection title Hans Fischer recordings
Description Hans Fischer was formerly Director of the Museum für Völkerkunde and Professor of Socio-cultural anthropology (Ethnologie), University of Hamburg. He began fieldwork in New Guinea in 1958 in villages the lower Watut River and among the Anga-speaking Jeghuje on the Banir River. After brief initial visits to the Wampar area, he conducted longer fieldwork in Gabmadzung in 1965, then again in 1971/72, 1976, 1988, 1990, 1993, 1997, 1999/2000, 2003/04 and 2009. The recordings in the collection were made in 1958, 1965 and 1971/72. His research covered various topics: settlement and household organization, kinship, language and oral traditions, and material culture including, for example, string figures.
