Patti Langton Archive (Pitt Rivers Museum)

Bio

The Patti Langton Archive is a collection of objects stored at the Pitt Rivers Museum. The collection is mostly from the Moru, Tuich Dinka and Larim people of Sudan. Langton is an award-winning producer for BBC.

In 2008, she donated her collection of fieldwork to contribute to the Museum's southern Sudan project. Her collection of objects is currently available online. Her fieldwork photographs were sorted prior to donation, and then numbered and scanned by museum staff.

Her audio collection consists of twelve audiocassettes containing music, as well as interviews, language and vocabulary. They were all recorded in Larim areas of South Sudan between 1979 and 1980. They include a wide range of men, women and children's songs and cultural based songs.

Examples of instrumentation, sounds of a recorder, and the sounds of metal and grinding stone percussion are also included in the collection.

Langton currently visits the museum as a Research Associate once a week to work on the documentation of her collection.

The museum is open to members of the public, scholars and other audiences.
