Adivasi Field Notes is a developing archival platform created to preserve and share first-hand ethnographic, anthropological, and historical material on the Adivasi communities of India. The archive is intended to support research access while remaining meaningful to future generations of Adivasis.
If you would like to share field notes or other original research material, we invite you to get in touch. We are interested in showcasing primary materials that contribute to the documentation and understanding of Adivasi life and history.
Don’t worry if your field notebooks are messy:
Messy, personal, or hard-to-read notes are valuable because they show how ethnographic ideas actually form and evolve—not a polished end result, but thinking in motion.
They reveal the research process: what caught our attention, how and why our focus shifted over time, and how we learned to interpret the world around us.
Doubts, inconsistencies, and ambiguities matter most, as they often mark areas of struggle that can become fertile ground for future research and alternative interpretations.
