Research files, including object research forms, assembled by Horniman Museum anthropology curators covering the Nigerian textiles collection donated to the Museum by Nancy Stanfield in the 1960s. The file includes photographs, some taken by Ursel Widemann, of crafts people in Nigeria and bibliographic lists of related primary and secondary source material. The folder also includes a list of images form the Nancy Stanfield photographic slide collections which were selected for exhibition at the Horniman. The file is subdivided into Adire textiles, objects used in Adire making process, woven textiles, objects used in weaving process, includes exhibition text and photocopies of object lists from the Stanfield history file. The folder is likely to have been assembled in preparation for the Horniman exhibition 'Tuareg: people of the veil' (March 2010-February 2011), for which Widemann was project curator.
