Numerous indigenous/tribal communities are found all over the world. Many big and small museums in various countries have ethnographic collections of these communities. Around 705 tribal groups and sub-groups are found in India. Many of them are covered through representative collections in various museums in India. A good number of new types of museums have been established and many more are developing in India and all over the world in the form of social museums, community museums, eco-museums, tribal museums, etc. These museums are established in the public and private sectors and include national, state, regional, and community-level museums. All tribal or ethnographic museums have one essential motto to safeguard indigenous culture and propagation of cultural awareness, sustainability and harmony. This book covers various case studies and topics related to a true representation of tribal culture and art in museums, community involvement at various levels in the establishment and development of such museums, and the role of Museologists in Tribal Museums. The primary goals of these museums are the preservation of indigenous culture, generating mass awareness, and cultural sustainability. This book also focuses on problems and prospects of tribal museums, such as appropriate documentation, means of portraying tribal collections and culture, and the use of new technology and modern means of communication. This book contains international articles from various countries.

Anthropology is a bio-social science which  systematically studies humans in totality to understand its evolutionary origins, uniqueness and diversity in time and space. Traditionally, anthropological researches are recognized for the study in small societies for undertaking holistic research. But, the recent trends in anthropological researches focus on all human societies without losing its typical integrative and holistic approach along with field orientation. In general, anthropological research adopts relative, chronological and ethnographic approach to study man along with its society and culture in terms of evolution, variation and adaptation. Broadly anthropological researches can be categorized into its three subfields namely sociocultural, biological and prehistoric archaeology. This book is a collection of research papers from all subfields of anthropology focusing different issues of man and thus would be helpful for scholars of anthropology, who study man in a holistic perspective.
