Processing History
The Linda LaMacchia collection was processed by Sara Ludewig between September 2022 and
May 2023.
The American Folklife Center received digital files from the Linda LaMacchia estate on
optical discs, floppy disks, and flash drives, each of which was assigned a unique
digital ID number. Sara Ludewig identified duplicate content and deaccessioned any
duplicate folders and duplicate digital carriers. She also deleted empty or temporary
files found on each digital carrier and arranged files within afc2017049_dc05,
afc2017049_dc09, and afc2017049_dc60 into folders. Paul Kelly ripped audio discs from
cda to wav format. Files retained their individual file names and were processed into
archival information packages (AIPs) according to their original digital carrier.
Digital materials are described at the item, folder, or digital carrier level. The
optical discs and floppy disks that originally housed digital files were retained as
part of the collection.
In January 2024, Sara Ludewig deaccessioned audio cassettes SR005, SR006, SR012, SR013,
SR015, SR017, SR018, SR020, and SR021. These tapes were unlabelled and upon digitization
were discovered to be material outside the scope of this collection.
As of January 2024, two microcassettes remain unprocessed. These materials are
unlabelled and undated and an archivist cannot process these materials until they are
digitized and can be listened to.

Biographical Note
Linda LaMacchia was born in 1944 in Washington, D.C. As the daughter of a Foreign
Service Officer, LaMacchia traveled extensively and lived for a period in Harare,
Zimbabwe, and Nairobi, Kenya, while she was a child. LaMacchia earned a bachelor of arts
in Political Science from Swarthmore College and attended the Sorbonne in Paris, France,
for a year. After college she joined the Peace Corps where she taught English in Tunis,
Tunisia, for two years. After the Peace Corps, LaMacchia lived in Blaubeuren, Germany
for a year, studying German at the Goethe Institute. She returned to the United States
and received a master of arts in comparative literature from the University of Michigan,
Ann Arbor and a certificate in teaching English as a second language from the University
of California, Los Angeles. She briefly taught English and French in Los Angeles,
Boston, and Washington, D.C.
After her graduation from Swarthmore, LaMacchia frequently traveled to India to visit a
college friend. As a result of her personal travels to India, her interest in Indian
culture grew and she began her research on Buddhist nuns living in Kinnaur, near the
Tibetan border. In the late 1980s, LaMacchia continued her education, pursuing a PhD in
South Asian Studies and Anthropology at the University of Wisconsin, Madison. During
this period, she traveled to India frequently, staying at the Tibetan Library in
Dharamsala, traveling to villages across the Kinnaur district and collecting the songs
and life stories of Buddhist nuns in Hindi, Tibetan, Kinnauri, and English. Upon the
completion of her dissertation in 2001, LaMacchia spent a year in India teaching
Buddhist culture and Hindi at Antioch College's Education Abroad Program. She also
taught courses on South Asian languages, religions, and cultures at DePaul University,
Loyola University, American University, and the University of Maryland's University
College.
LaMacchia's book
Songs and Lives of the Jomo (Nuns) of Kinnaur, Northwest, India
, based on her dissertation work, was published in 2008. After the completion of
her book, she continued to travel to India frequently to conduct research and collect
more songs and life narratives from Buddhist nuns. She continued as an active member of
the academic community, publishing papers and presenting at conferences. While in India,
she also adopted a dog, named Puppy Durga, who features in many of her photographs and
journals. At the time of her death she was working on a memoir about her time with Puppy
Durga entitled
Travels with Puppy.
LaMacchia died in 2017, in Dharamsala, India.
Scope and Content
The collection documents Linda LaMacchia's travels in India and fieldwork in the Kinnaur
district in the state of Himachal Pradesh in Northwest India from 1985 to 2017. For
fifteen months in 1995 and 1996, LaMacchia conducted doctoral research for a degree in
South Asian Studies from the University of Wisconsin, Madison. During this period she
recorded the life stories, songs, and local religious practices of Buddhist nuns, or
jomos, in the Kinnaur district. Following the completion of her dissertation, and later
her book
The Songs and Lives of the Jomo (Nuns) of Kinnaur, Northwest India
based on this research, LaMacchia continued her work with the jomos and lamas
of the Kinnaur district, taking repeated trips to India between 1998 and 2017 to
continue collecting songs and life stories.
The collection contains life stories of jomos belonging to three Buddhist sects: Drukpa
Kagyu, Gelug, and Nyingma. LaMacchia also collected songs performed by the jomos,
including Tibetan language songs (mgurma) and Kinnauri language songs (githang). The
collection includes photographs and video footage of jomos, lamas, Buddhist religious
rituals, and the Himalayan Mountains of the Kinnaur district. LaMacchia's journals with
extensive field notes documenting her fifteen months of dissertation work are also
retained in the collection. The majority of materials were transcribed in Tibetan or
Hindi and translated into English by LaMacchia. Materials in Kinnauri, which has no
written language, were transcribed into Hindi by Ramesh Chandra Negi and then translated
into English by LaMacchia. The collection includes many drafts and iterations of
translations in various languages. Collection material and folder headings may contain
variable spellings and other discrepancies as names and phrases went through multiple
rounds of translation and were transliterated by LaMacchia from Devanagari or Tibetan
scripts to the Latin alphabet.

Interviews, songs, field note journals, and photographs collected during
LaMacchia's dissertation fieldwork in the Kinnaur district of Northwest, India.

Sara Ludewig paired songs and interviews with their transcripts wherever

Interviews, songs, field note journals, photographs, and video footage
collected during LaMacchia's subsequent trips to the Kinnaur district of
Northwest India. See Appendix B for a list of interview subjects.
Sara Ludewig paired songs and interviews with their transcripts wherever
possible. She paired these materials based on description provided by
LaMacchia, not by listening to the tapes. As a result, errors and discrepancies
may exist.
