content: This series contains most of Sturtevant's correspondence. Some correspondence, however, can be found throughout the collection alongside related materials such as his research files, writings, or professional activities. The bulk of his correspondence documents his exchanges and collaboration with colleagues. In his capacity as a curator at NMNH Sturtevant received many letters from members of the public who wrote requesting information about Native Americans or about a Native American object they had purchased or was given to them by a family member. Sturtevant arranged his correspondence both chronologically and alphabetically. A large amount of unidentified correspondence is located at the end of the series. Box 87 is restricted.
