content: Series 5 documents Kracke's professional and administrative relationship with the University of Illinois at Chicago (formerly the University of Illinois at Chicago Circle, abbreviated as UIC or UICC) and its Department of Anthropology. Kracke joined the UIC faculty in 1970, and, apart from visiting stints at Bennington College and the Universidade de Brasília, he completed all his professional work while affiliated with the university. The material in this series includes correspondence and memoranda; curriculum and course guides and plans; directories; event flyers and invitations; handbooks and guides for faculty and students; lecture notes; meeting minutes and notes; and program proposals and reports.

Of note in the series is correspondence, reports, and plans regarding the establishment of a Ph.D. program in anthropology at UIC in the 1990s. Previously, the university had only provided a master's degree in the discipline at the graduate level. The series also includes material documenting the relationship between the Field Museum's anthropology department and the UIC Department of Anthropology.
