Abstract This collection contains specific information on the Southern Toraja of southern Celebes (Sulawesi) in Indonesia. These people speak the Sa'dan Toraja dialect and are predominantly Christians. This collection contains six documents that cover the time period from ca. 1900 through the early 1980s. The most comprehensive of these is the two volume work by Nooy-Palm dealing with the ethnography of the Southern Toraja of the Tana Toraja region. This work offers a wide range of ethnographic topics including data on geography, social and territorial organization, religion and religious organization, and material culture. The monograph by Volkman which focuses on the village of To' Dama' located in the Mount Sesean area, revolves around the culture history of the community with particular emphasis on the family of Mama' Agus, one of the author's primary informants. This work provides some additional information on the analysis of Southern Toraja society and its rituals. The four Hollan articles deal with religious change in the society, the expression and control of anger and emotions, and cultural beliefs about dreams.
