The papers of Edward C. Green, circa 1970-2016, document his work as an applied medical anthropologist and research consultant focusing principally on the distribution and prevention of AIDS and sexually transmitted diseases in Africa and South America. Much of Green's research and policy focus lay in understanding indigenous health belief systems and instituting locally-designed approaches to major health concerns. The collection consists of correspondence, field diaries and typed research, sound recordings, photographs, and published reports and articles, including material from his dissertation research among the Matawai Maroons of Suriname.
Collection is primarily in English. Some collection materials are in Arabic, Chinese, Saramaccan (Matawai), Portuguese, Spanish, Sranan, and Zulu.
Edward C. Green papers
Scope and Contents
The papers of Edward C. Green, circa 1970-2016, document his field research in Africa, Asia, Europe, the Middle East, and South America and his career as an applied medical anthropologist and research consultant focusing principally on the distribution and prevention of AIDS and sexually transmitted diseases. The collection consists of correspondence, field diaries and typed research, photographs, sound recordings, and published reports and articles.
The bulk of the material covers Green's field research undertaken predominantly in the Dominican Republic, Mozambique, Suriname, and Swaziland. Of note are sound recordings of interviews, songs, and rituals recorded in Suriname between 1971 and 1973. These recordings document the Matawai dialect of the Saramaccan language, an endagered creole dialect derived from Portuguese, English, and Afro-Caribbean sources. Correspondence in the collection dates from 1973 to 2015 and is a mix of personal and professional correspondence with colleagues and friends. Publications retained in the collection consist primarily of reports on healthcare policy and education, produced between 1978 and 2016 and written for state agencies and non-governmental organizations for which Green worked as a consultant. The bulk of the reports were produced with funding from the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) or one of its subsidiary funds.
Arrangement
This collection is arranged in 3 series:
- (1) Field notes, circa 1970-2016
- (2) Publications, circa 1978-2016
- (3) Correspondence, 1973-2015
Biographical Note
Edward Crocker "Ted" Green is an applied medical anthropologist who has served as the director of the AIDS Prevention Research Project at the Harvard Center for Population and Development Studies (2006-2010) and as the founder and president of the New Paradigm Fund (2010-). He was born in 1944 to the Hon. Marshall Green, a United States diplomat, and Lispenard "Lisa" Crocker Green. He earned his bachelor's degree in anthropology from George Washington University (1967), his master's in anthropology from Northwestern University (1968), and his PhD in anthropology from the Catholic University of America (1974). Green produced his dissertation on the Matawai Maroons of Suriname. He served as the National Institute of Mental Health Fellow at Vanderbilt University from 1978-1979 and as the Takemi Fellow at Harvard University from 2001-2002.
Green's career focused on healthcare education and international policy surrounding sexually transmitted diseases and AIDS in addition to family planning, maternal and child health, primary health care, children impacted by war, and water and sanitation. Much of Green's research and policy focus lay in understanding indigenous health belief systems and in instituting locally-designed approaches to major health concerns. He has served with the Department of Population and Reproductive Health at Johns Hopkins University and as the Senior Research Scientist for International Health at the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health. He has also served on over a dozen advisory boards or boards of directors, including the UNAIDS Steering Committee, AIDS2031 (2008-2009); the Presidential Advisory Council for HIV/AIDS (2003-2007); the Office of AIDS Research Advisory Council, National Institutes of Health (2003-2006); and the Global Initiative for Traditional Systems of Health, Oxford University (2000-). Green has also worked as a consultant and as a public health advisor to the governments of Mozambique and Swaziland.

Processing Information
The collection arrived at the National Anthropological Archives organized by material type. At the series level, that original organization has been retained. A chronological arrangement of materials within each series and subseries was imposed by the processor. In the case of Subseries 1.3: Cards, the processor attempted to reconstruct out of uncertain order the relationships of the various topics and sub-categories identified by the creator (i.e., the sub-category "Affinity" was moved under the topic "Kinship"). Individual research cards were not rearranged to reflect chronology or any other organizational principle, thus retaining as best as possible the original relationships created by Green. Collection materials were rehoused and sticky notes attached to papers were photocopied and discarded. In Series 2: Correspondence, mailing envelopes were also discarded.

Field notes
Series 1
Archival Resource Key
6.46 Linear feet
circa 1970-2016
Scope and Contents
This series contains the field notes made by Green, in various media formats, between 1970 and 2016. It consists of sound recordings, handwritten diaries, typed field notes, printed notecards, transcriptions, and images from research trips to various African, South American, East Asian, Middle Eastern, and Eastern European locations.
The bulk of the series contains field notes made by Green during his dissertation research among the Matawai Maroons of Suriname. Sound recordings (circa 1970-1984) in this series document the endangered Matawai dialect of the Saramaccan language. Also included are Green's handwritten and typed field diaries (1971-2016) from his dissertation research and his career as an applied medical anthropologist, documenting research trips to the Dominican Republic, Mozambique, Swaziland, and other international locations. Transcriptions of diary entries with modified notes and narrative information (1970-2016) are also in this series. While containing field notes dated to Green's research trips, these files were compiled and edited by Green in 2016-2018 in preparation for the transfer of his materials to the National Anthropological Archives. Typewritten notecards in this series (1971-1973) condense and arrange Green's dissertation field notes from Suriname. The series also contains digital photographs (circa 1970-2016), primarily of research in Suriname and Africa, as well as 1 digital file containing Green's "Matawai dictionary" (2016).
Arrangement
This series is arranged in 4 subseries: (1.1) Sound Recordings, circa 1970-1984; (1.2) Diaries, 1970-2016; (1.3) Cards, 1971-1973; (1.4) Photographs, circa 1970-2016.
Conditions Governing Access
Digital content in this series is restricted due to preservation concerns.
Sound Recordings
1.1
Archival Resource Key
circa 1970-1984
Scope and Contents
This subseries contains field recordings made by Green during his dissertation research in Suriname among the Matawai Maroons. Recordings contain ceremonies, interviews, language lessons, radio broadcasts, and songs conducted in English, Sranan, and Matawai. Matawai is an endangered creole dialect of the Saramaccan language, derived from Portuguese, English, and Afro-Caribbean sources.
Recordings are on 22 sound cassettes, 4 audio CDs, and 1 USB flash drive. The USB flash drive (Green Digital Item 03) came in as part of a 2018 accretion to the Edward C. Green papers. It contains digitized files of field audio recordings, likely duplicate files (with different names) from the audio recordings present on the audio cassettes and CDs.
Also included in this subseries is 1 DVD entitled "Swaziland Music and Reed Dance/Suriname," which came to the NAA as part of a 2018 accretion to the Green papers. It is listed at the end of this subseries.
Arrangement
Materials are arranged in loose chronological order.

Scope and Contents
This subseries contains the field notes kept by Green on various research trips in Africa, South America, Asia, and the Middle East between 1970 and 2016. The bulk of the series contains handwritten field notes from his dissertation research in Suriname, as well as time spent in Swaziland. Select field diaries also contain notes made in preparation for, or in attendance at, various conferences and presentations. Notes in the diaries were made by Green, by his assistant Wellington Mbrele, his first wife Shannon Green, his second wife Susan "Suzie" Green, and occasionally by unidentified others.
The subseries also contains born-digial field notes as well as transcriptions of field notes taken from Green's handwritten diaries, compiled geographically and contained on 2 USB flash drives in the collection. Born-digital field notes were created by Green later in his career as an alternative format to his handwritten notebooks. Transcriptions of handwritten field notes were assembled by Green throughout his career. Digital content was edited by Green in 2016-2018 in preparation for the transfer of his materials to the National Anthropological Archives. Typed files include fleshed-out narratives, copied correspondence with colleagues, and publication drafts. Also included is a digital spreadsheet of Green's "Matawai dictionary" (2016), a list of useful Matawai (Saramaccan) language terms and their English translations. Access to the original files is restricted for preservation reasons. Digital access copies are available on-site only, and physical use copies of select typed field notes and the "Matawai dictionary" are available to researchers.
Arrangement
Handwritten field notes are arranged in chronological order. Typed field notes are arranged geographically at the end of the subseries.
Conditions Governing Access
Digital content is restricted due to preservation concerns. Digital use copies of selected material are available with prior approval, on-site only at the National Anthropological Archives.
