Biographical Note
Over the course of his prolific scholarly career, anthropologist Svend Einar Holsoe has
greatly advanced our knowledge and understanding of the history and culture of the
peoples of Liberia. During his
youth, Holsoe’s
family lived in Liberia for nine
years. His interest in a close study of this country and its peoples began during
his senior year in high school. Asked to write an essay on his hometown for his
senior English course, Holsoe
chose Monrovia, only to discover the dearth of material on the nation and
its people. It was at this moment, he says, that he dedicated himself to finding and
collecting printed materials on Liberia.
Unparalleled in his dedication to the preservation of documents and artifacts on
Liberia, in 1997
Holsoe donated his
collection of materials to Indiana University’s
Archives of Traditional Music, Liberian Collections
Project, Mathers
Museum, and Art Museum. A product of his years of research and relentless
materials collection,
The Svend E. Holsoe
Collection
is one of the largest and most comprehensive
deposits of resources on the West African nation. The Collection includes: copies of
Liberian Government Archive Documents between 1824-1983
; extensive genealogical records, including analyses and family trees
developed from these records; political, institutional, social and cultural surveys
from the 1980s Liberia Rural Radio Project; field
notes and oral history tapes of Vai and Bandi research; Vai script materials,
including research notes, examples and articles; and slides and photos spanning
decades and covering many geographical areas and activities. Due to looting and the
destruction of Liberia’s
National Archives during the civil war that began in 1989, the Liberian Government Archives, part of the Holsoe Collection,
contains the only extant copies of important historical and cultural documents.
During his career, Holsoe
published numerous important scholarly contributions on Liberia. As early as 1966,
Holsoe's article, “The Condo Confederation in Western
Liberia,” was published in the
Liberian
Historical Review
. Over the next thirty years, Holsoe wrote twenty-seven
articles related to Liberia for
numerous publications.
Holsoe and D.
Elwood Dunn collaborated on the first edition of
The Historical Dictionary of Liberia (1984). He followed up this major project as a co-author of
A Land and Life Remembered: Americo-Liberian
Folk Architecture
(1988). More
recently, he co-edited
African American Exploration in
West Africa
(2003).
A co-founder of the
Liberian Studies Association, Holsoe created and edited the
Liberian Studies Journal from 1968 to 1978, as well as a
Liberian
Studies Monograph Series. In 1999,
Indiana
University awarded Holsoe the Chancellors’ Medallion in honor of his unique
contributions to scholarship. In presenting the honor, Chancellor Kenneth Gros Louis
said of
Holsoe: “We know, thanks to his collecting and preserving, thanks to
his selfless donation to a public university which will make his work available to
all in what we hope will be perpetuity, that Svend Holsoe has done more than his part
to ensure that much of what constitutes the country and the cultures of Liberia will
remain, and that we, as stewards of his materials, will harvest richly from his
efforts.” Indeed,
Holsoe's scholarly legacy and invaluable collection will long remain
an indispensable source of information and inspiration to future scholars of
Liberia.
Scope and Content
The materials range chronologically from 1911-1968,
though the bulk of the material focuses on three presidents: Dennis E.
Howard, C.D.B. King, and Edwin
Barclay. There are also a few materials from William Tubman's
presidency, mostly as correspondence dealing with international boundaries after
World War II. The collection consists of correspondence, reports, records, minutes,
and other miscellaneous manuscript items. These materials are typically either
photocopies of items from the Liberian Archives in
Monrovia, Liberia, or are
typescript copies/notes created by Dr. Holsoe in the course of
his research (there are also a few hand-written notes)
The collection is divided into three main sections to reflect the three branches of
Liberian government: Executive, Legislative, and Judicial. The Executive Branch is
further broken down by executive department, with the Presidential materials under
the heading “Executive Mansion;” the Legislative by House and Senate; and the
Judicial by geographic area and then by court. The organization is intended to
reflect the inventory of the Liberian Government Archives as established by
Dr. Holsoe and
Tom W. Schick (see bibliography). One change in arrangement
made to this second part of the collection keeps local materials together. Thus,
after departmental correspondence is filed correspondence from local executives by
county or province rather than by government agency.
Researchers using the Holsoe Collection Liberian Government Archives will find many
items of interest: there is a wealth of correspondence, both intra- and
extra-governmental, and the cabinet minutes and Legislative materials provide great
insight into the workings of government. Of particular note are the files from
President King’s term covering the international forced labor scandals in Spanish
Guinea, and the encrypted telegrams used during the World Wars. The
administration of the interior provinces changed dramatically during this 33-year
period until the British system of indirect rule was imported in President Barclay’s
term. Correspondence on border wars, the Liberian Frontier
Force, and the subsequent divisions of the hinterland into tribes and
clans can be found.
