content: This series includes prints, glass plate negatives, lantern slides, nitrate negatives, postcards, and correspondence. Considering their subject matter, the lantern slides for the southwestern United States and northern Mexico were probably taken on expeditions. Among the prints for the 1920 Far East expedition are photographs of Chinese women and of Korea that were probably taken on that trip. Material under "early man" includes photographs and postcards. The prints were originally housed in envelopes bearing Hrdlička's annotations. Some were used in publications. The photographs placed under manuscripts of writings include paste-ups for plates and figures used in some of Hrdlička's publications on Alaska, including "Anthropological Survey in Alaska," Alaska Diary, and Anthropology of Kodiak Island. How some photographs entered the collection is unknown. With certainty, they could not be placed with expeditions, trips, meetings, or research interests. These prints were placed in the series of miscellany.
