scopecontent: label: Scope and Contents
content: This subseries consists of letters received and copies of letters sent by Takaki largely outside of the scope of her fieldwork. The subseries spans her graduate coursework in anthropology, as well as her professional life at the American Museum of Natural History and the University of Massachusetts, Boston. Correspondents include colleagues and friends from her graduate studies; colleagues in the field of anthropology; institutions that Takaki was affiliated with, such as the International University of Japan; select Filipino correspondents from her fieldwork, corresponding after she left the Philippines; and Takaki's Japanese family. The majority of the correspondence is between Takaki and her doctoral advisor, Harold "Hal" Conklin. Also well-represented is correspondence between Takaki and her friends and colleages Allison and Marek Jablonko. A folder of correspondence related to research grant applications is also contained within this subseries.
