Records of "An Introduction to Akan", 1971 - 1975
Scope and Contents
The third addition to the Jack Berry papers fills three boxes, one of which is legal size. The addition consists primarily of correspondence, including personal letters and those relating to Berry's publications and to administrative and research matters. Of particular interest is the correspondence with Dr. Joshua A. Fishman, for whom Berry edited one issue of the International Journal of the Sociology of Language.
Also included are two of Berry's textbooks on African languages, and some of his papers that were published in other works. There is also one folder of field notes on Guang, from Berry's work in the Gold Coast in 1951.
Within each folder, correspondence is arranged in chronological order, with the exception of the folders of personal correspondence and reference letters, which are arranged alphabetically according to the name of the correspondent.
