Description: 13 notebooks recorded by Ethel Aginsky. The first 11 notebooks document Aginsky's research with mostly Puyallup people between November 1935 and January 1936. Puyallup (Washington) is the only location identified - the location is thought to be Tacoma. Consultants include: Mary Adams, Henry Allen, Emily Hawk, Annie James, Anthony James, Nancy Sherwood, Kimball Sherwood, Joseph Sparr, Annie Wilbur, Jimmy (or Jimmie) Wilbur, Willy Wilbur, Mrs. Willy Wilbur, and Marcel Williams. The notebooks include texts (histories, conversations, etc.) and wordlists. In addition to Lushootseed, there is Chehalis and Twana language identified, and one text in notebook 10 is of Klallam cultural origin (but in Lushootseed). Notebooks 12-13 are Aginsky's unrelated classroom notes.
