THE JOHN B. CORNELL COLLECTION: GUIDE
SPEC.CMS.120

(Compiled by Katie Brennan, John M. Bennett, and Kenichi Matsui)

INTRODUCTION

John Bilheimer Cornell, 1921-1994, was an American anthropologist specializing in Japanese agriculture, ecology, social organization, agricultural policy, material culture, land tenure, social relations as affected by geography, outcaste society, and Japanese immigrants in Brazil. His interest in Japanese culture began during World War II, when he developed an expertise in the Japanese language and in code decipherment as part of the team that broke the Japanese code in World War II. He went on to study Japanese language, literature, and anthropology at the University of Michigan, where he earned his PhD in 1953. Further biographical and professional details may be found in Box 1, Folder 1A.

This collection of Cornell’s papers, field notes, manuscripts, publications, documentary and source materials, photographs, and other material will be of interest to anyone researching Japanese society and culture in the post-war period. Much of the collection represents his time at the University of Michigan Japan Center at Oyayama and his restudy two decades later. Of particular interest and value is the extensive collection of photographs and slides documenting village and social life, very rare documentation of an outcaste community, agricultural practices and land use, material culture, family life, and other subjects, frequently accompanied by detailed field notes. There are extensive groups of such notes throughout this collection.

Materials are described in this guide generally in the order in which they were found. To some extent Cornell rearranged his notes and photographs from his numerous research trips to Japan, and this chronological mixing is reflected in their present organization. In addition, dates for some of the fieldwork notebooks and photographs are lacking, although it should be possible to establish approximate dates through examination and context.

The collection was donated to The Ohio State University by Dr. Cornell’s family, and presented to The Rare Books and Manuscripts Library by Dr. Richard Moore (Ohio Agricultural Research and Development Center, The Ohio State University), who also kindly read this guide and offered several helpful clarifications.

NOTE

Research using material in this collection is governed by The Ohio State University’s “human subjects” protocols. In general, this means that names, identities, and photographs of living persons may not be revealed in any public or published forum. Researchers wishing to have access to some of these materials will need to contact the OSU Office of Responsible Research Practices at http://www.orrp.ohio-state.edu From there, go to the “Human Subjects” pages.
