Scope and Contents of the Materials

Papers of Muriel 'Miki" Crespi (née Kaminsky; 1929-2003). Contains: correspondence; ethnographic fieldwork materials (including: field notes; audiovisual recordings; photographs, proofs, and transparencies; data tables; and collected primary source materials); grant applications and funding reports; maps; published and unpublished academic papers; notebooks and academic papers from her undergraduate and graduate studies; and reports and evaluations for academic institutes and government agencies.

Crespi received her Ph.D in Anthropology from the University of Illinois -- Urbana-Champaign in 1968. For her dissertation, she researched traditional hacienda systems in Ecuador. She continued to conduct postdoctoral research in Ecuador with funding from the City College of New York (1969), the National Institute of Mental Health (1970), and a Fulbright-Hays Lectureship Award (1977). Her fieldwork materials created for her research in Ecuador document: agrarian data; conversations with Ecuadorian laborers and landowners; cultural and religious festivities; the impact of and reactions to agrarian reforms in Ecuador beginning in 1964, and the role of women in politics and agriculture in this period; genealogical data; and Ecuadorian's conceptions of race and ethnicity. Contents related to her work in Ecuador additionally include: her dissertation (including earlier drafts); audiovisual recordings; photographic materials; Ecuadorian newspapers and publications; and research proposals. The collection additionally contains select books from Crespi's personal library related to anthropology and the history of Latin America and Indigenous Peoples.

Before she started working for the National Parks Service in 1981, Crespi taught and researched for Hunter College (CUNY), the University of Wisconsin-Madison, and Brown University. During this time, she conducted ethnographic research about immigrants from the Azores in the New England region, and taught them citizenship courses. She additionally assessed and wrote curricula for bilingual education programs for colleges in Rhode Island and New Jersey. Contents related to these activities include: instruction materials and course syllabi; institutional reports and evaluations; grant applications and funding reports; and published and presented papers, as well as unpublished papers.

Collection Historical Note

Muriel “Miki” Crespi (née Kaminsky, 1929-2003) was an anthropologist (B.A., CUNY, 1959; M.A. Columbia University, 1962; Ph.D University of Illinois, 1968) who was born in New York, and renowned for her contributions to the National Parks Service as the first Chief Ethnographer of the NPS Ethnography Program from 1981-2003 (now known as the NPS Cultural Anthropology Program).  From the National Parks Service web page about Crespi: “The NPS Cultural Anthropology program, originally known as the Ethnography program, was established in 1981 by Muriel "Miki" Crespi (1929-2003). Dr. Crespi completed her undergraduate studies at Columbia and received a Ph.D. in anthropology from Illinois University. In 1981, after spending time in academia at Hunter College, Wisconsin, and Brown, she was hired by the NPS to complete a Native American relationships policy and to design and initiate an applied anthropology program. Dr. Crespi's consistent focus was on contemporary peoples and traditional communities associated with NPS' cultural and natural resources…Dr. Crespi was instrumental in finalizing the first NPS Native American relations policy in 1987. With assistance from NPS leaders and professional academic associations, Dr. Crespi was fundamental to the process of acquiring funding in 1991 to hire cultural anthropologists in regional offices.” (The National Parks Service. “Muriel ‘Miki' Crespi & the NPS Ethnography Program,” March 30, 2016.

Series 6: Audiovisual Materials
This series contains twelve audio tape reels, eight film reels, and one VHS cassette recording of a lecture Crespi gave about her work for the National Parks Service. The reels did not include consistent or specific labelling, though most audio and film reels appear to be relevant to Crespi’s fieldwork in Ecuador. The reels have been rehoused into stable containers, but they are in poor condition and cannot be played unless they are in the process of being digitized (which has not yet occurred as of December, 2025). Given these circumstances, University Archives staff has not yet been able to view or listen to the recordings to verify their contents, thus available descriptive information is currently limited. Any inquiries about the contents of these reels will be in consultation with the University Library’s Media Preservation and Digitization Services units. Contact illiarch@illinois.edu for any inquiries about these items.
