Note
  • Chiefly taken by Claire Holt during her visits to Indonesia in 1930-1938, 1955-1957, and 1969. Intended as visual documentation of her research on the plastic and performing arts, a number of thjese photographs were published in her books Dance quest in the Celebes (1939), Art in Indonesia (1967), and the exhibition catalogue, Théâtre et danses aux Indes néerlandaises (1939).
  • The collection covers a wide range of forms from differenrt ethnic and linguistic groups throughout the archipelago; however, there is some emphasis on the Islands of Java and Bali. In addition to dance and dance-related subjects, the collection also contains a sizeable number of photographs of ancient Hindu and Buddhist architecture and sculpture , principally from Java.
