content: This series includes correspondence, notes, maps, and manuscripts associated with the Institute of Population, which began with the idea of determining areas of the world suited to the mass immigration that was expected to occur when World War II ended. Hrdlička recommended the establishment of the institute to study this situation and got the backing of the President of the United States.
