Northwest Anthropological Research Notes

and Journal of Northwest Anthropology

DIGITAL ARCHIVE


NARN/JONA Digital Archive

The complete collection of NARN/JONA material is now available on our website to facilitate future research. Researchers can now access the NARN/JONA electronic file with all 56 volumes and the first seven memoirs published by NARN and JONA since 1967. Researchers are able to search through the NARN/JONA e-file using keywords to find relevant materials.

The search function is useful for the researcher interested in a particular topic, such as an historical person, an early anthropologist, a particular artifact type, a drainage, an archaeological site or phase, or a theoretical concept. Our hope is that all professionals conducting research on Pacific Northwest anthropological and archaeological topics will spend an hour or two searching the NARN/JONA e-file during the early stages of their research. We also encourage researchers interested the development of anthropology and archaeology in the Northwest to test their ideas using the NARN/JONA 1967–2022 electronic file. 

A more thorough description of the 56 years of content and ways this information can be used to support research is found in JONA Memoir 13, 50 Years of Northwest Anthropology: A Content Analysis and Guide to the Journal of Northwest Anthropology, which can be found on our website. An informational and instructional PDF guide with step-by-step instructions on how to conduct an advanced search of the NARN/JONA e-file is also provided here.
