content: Series 3, "Research" consists of Vayda's field notes and diaries, research data, grant proposals and reports, some correspondence, and reference material used in research. Arrangement is, for the most part, chronological.

Vayda made carbon copies of most of his handwritten and typed field notes, and kept them in varying organization so both originals and carbons have been kept. The bulk of the field notes are from Vayda's Cook Islands research and his Papua New Guinea research. The Papua New Guinea field notes also are indexed by subject.

Vayda's Indonesia research subseries does not contain the kinds of systematic field notes made during his earlier research, so much of what is in this subseries are project files with correspondence, proposals, reports, and other documentation.

The "Other research" subseries is a somewhat catch-all for research and projects that fell outside of the main subseries, and contains proposals, field notes from a Maylasia trip, symposia papers and correspondence, and various other notes and documentation.
