Scope and content This collection of 9 documents covers a variety of cultural, linguistic and historical information from 1870s to 1980s. The earliest account was compiled by William Marshall, a British colonial official who, with help from missionaries in the Nilgiri hills, visited the Toda in 1870. It provides a firsthand description of Toda villages, family system, marriage and burial customs, diet, religion and rituals. Marshall's portrait of the Toda was largely shaped by a mix of European stereotypes and phrenological inferences. The remaining documents are based on research conducted in the 1900s, 1930s, 1940s and 1980s. W. H. R. Rivers systematically covers a broad range of Toda culture as observed in 1901-1902. The works of Emeneau and Peter compliment Rivers by documenting and examining more specific aspects of Toda culture including marriage regulations and taboos, beliefs and practices associated with menstruation, language and social forms and patterns of acculturation.
