Contact sheets, October 1981-March 1984
Scope and Contents
All of the images are related to Stinchecum's field research into traditional practices of fiber production and ikat weaving in Japan.
There appear to be two sets of images: 35mm color slides (575) and black and white negatives (1316). The negatives are accompanied with contact sheets and some of the negatives were also developed and printed on 5x7 paper. The 5x7 prints were grouped, presumably by Stinchecum, to illustrate various workshop practices.
Some of the negatives and slides depict the same event, such as a visit to a weaving workshop. However, there is no duplication between the negatives and the slides.
Included with the materials are printouts of a database documenting the images. The printouts include notes presumably from Stinchecum.
35mm slides are described on a 'sheet/sleeve' level. The notebooks described in Research Materials contain technical information relating to the slides.
The negatives are described per film roll.
Dates

Language of Materials
Large portion of the material is in Japanese. Stinchecum's research notes are in both Japanese and English.
Conditions Governing Access
Please contact Special Collections; materials are sometimes restricted.
Extent
X contact sheets Photographic Prints (1316 images)
Arrangement
Corresponding negatives are stored in Box 2 PPC.
Descriptions of the images were taken from the documents that came with the collection and were presumably created by Stinchecum. The documents appear to be printouts of a database possibly used by Stinchecum to manage and use the collection before it was donated to the museum.
Some of the negatives and slides depict the same event, such as a visit to a weaving workshop. However, there is no duplication between the negatives and the slides.
Separated Materials
Contact sheets were originally stored together with the negatives from which they were produced. The negatives were separated into a different box (Box 1 PNC .S75) due to environmental storage considerations.
