| Scope and content |
This collection of 26 documents, all in English, covers a variety of historical, geographical and cultural information from 802-2011. The basic sources to consult are six documents by anthropologist May Ebihara who lived in a Cambodian village she named Svay in 1959-1960 and revisited in 1990-1991. Together, these works provide detailed descriptions of the village both in pre-1975 times and following the devastating war of 1975-1979. Two of her works describe aspects of village life and Khmer culture (Ebihara 1971; 1964), while the remaining four focus on specific themes. The latter include residence pattern (1977), Buddhism and community organization (1966), status of women (1974), and household and community level effects of Cambodia's civil war and the communist policies of the Khmer Rouge regime (1993). Several documents in the collection revisit some of the themes and arguments in Ebihara's earlier works based on fieldwork undertaken in the post-civil war period. These include kinship and social organization (Ledgerwood 1995), marriage stability and gender issues (Heuveline and Poch, 2006; Ledgerwood 1994; Derks 2006; Frieson 2011), land holding systems, education and monastic life (Kalab 1968 and 1976; Ledgerwood 2011) and local institutions for reciprocity and mutual help (Kim 1971). The oldest historical document in the collection is the work of a Chinese diplomat who wrote about the customs of Cambodia during the peak of the Angkor period (Cho Ta-Kuan 1297). Coverage of other historical sources include general history of the country (Briggs 1947; Aymonier 1900), Cambodian Buddhism and religious practitioners (Leclere 1899; Martini 1941), traditional Khmer legends, ceremonies and art forms (Poree and Maspero 1938), physical and human geography of Pursant province (Morizon 1936), cosmology and mythology (Monod 1931), and historical monuments (Brodrick 1948). |
