Compiled field work notebooks

Subseries contains five handwritten notebooks which are the compiled final versions of the field work research notebooks created in the Jos Plateau by James Morrison in 1973. Each notebook is specific to a region of the Jos Plateau and group of people living there.

Data analysis

Subseries includes data for and analyses of socioeconomic aspects of Yoruba women's lives (education, migration, social class, health, children, husbands, religion, family, etc.). The 1963 data seems to be part of another study, referred to in several files as "The 1963 study on the role of Yoruba women," that either piggybacked off the Cornell-Aro study or was somehow included as a sub-project.

The maps depict Nigeria and the Jos Plateau region.
