content: Mixed media files representing Slusser's research projects, beginning in 1966 and continuing through the end of her life in 2017. Early files represent her broad study of the history, art, and culture of the Kathmandu Valley. Later files focus on specific objects and projects, including the materials she wrote for the Patan Museum, her published scholarship on wood carving, and the results of carbon dating tests she had requested. The folder names derive from Slusser's original names when available. Folder names in brackets have been designated by the archivist.
