David Graeber Archive
The David Graeber Journal
One of the Institute’s central missions is to collect the documents left by David Graeber and to build up an archive of his work. The aim of this collection is to contribute to current and future research.
Participants in the DGI project in one of the Global South locations (possibly in Nairobi or/and Tanzania) will work directly with the archive, creating new publications and multimedia editions that bring David’s ideas to wider audiences.
Preparations are underway for the gradual publication of parts of the archive, beginning with Graeber’s field research in Madagascar. Some of the archives will be available to the public here, and some to researchers affiliated with our institute.
Among the invaluable benefits of this collection are the hundreds of pages of original field notes from fieldwork conducted by David Graeber in Madagascar. He kept detailed and meticulous notes and compiled a great deal of primary historic information, including hand-drawn maps, kinship charts and land ownership tables. Much of this information is represented in both written and pictorial form and is written in English, Malagasy, or French.
We’ve also published David’s music library, his video and audio archive and his social media archive. We are working to releas his book collection—a catalog of over 1,500 volumes. From this catalog, we’ll curate thematic collections that trace the intellectual networks that shaped his thinking.
Currently, 165 notebooks have already been digitized. Our next challenge: is converting handwriting to text.
David’s personal website, davidgraeber.org, will continue to work on collecting, sorting, and publishing available online information related to David.
