Related Documents File - A list of publications discovered by Jeremy Coote in 1994 "In an attempt to find something out about the son of Mrs Turnbull from whom collection 1913.77 was bought I looked up the name 'Turnbull' in Shiro Saito's Philippine Ethnography: A Critically Annotated and Selected Bibliography (East - West Bibliographic Series 2), Honolulu: University of Hawaii Press, 1972. The only Turnbull indexed is one Wilfred, whose publications, all of which are in the Philippine Magazine, are listed below. I was unable to locate any library in the UK that holds the Philippine Magazine." The list of publications are: The Dumgats of North - East Luzon: Part I and II, Vol. XXVI, no. 3 and 4, Among the Ilongots Twenty Years Ago: Parts I - III, Vol. XXVI, nos. 5, 6 and 7, Bringing a Wild Tribe Under Government Control: Parts I - III, Vols. XXVI, XXVII and XVII respectively, nos. 12, 1 and 2 respectively, Early Days in Constabulary: Parts I - XIV, Vols. XXIX and XXX.

Sensitive Content
Mapping Philippine Material Culture collates digital material from institutions, and some of this material is inherently colonial and contains words, terms and phrases that are inaccurate, derogatory and harmful towards Filipino and Filipino diasporic communities. Catalogue transcriptions, book titles, exhibition titles and museum titles may contain harmful terms. We recognise the potential for the material to cause physical and mental distress as well as evoke strong emotions. Owing to the scale of the collection’s data, a process to implement sensitive-content warnings in the displayed data is still incomplete. The material within the catalogue does not represent Mapping Philippine Material Culture’s views. Mapping Philippine Material Culture maintains a strong anti-colonial, anti-racist position and affirms its support for centring the humanity of historically marginalised and disenfranchised communities.
