content: This series contains materials from Reining's employment at AAAS, where she worked from 1974 to 1989. Most of this series is comprised of her work for the Cultural Factors in Population Program and the Committee on Arid Lands. Among the files are transcripts of interviews that she and her colleagues conducted with various eminent scholars on population and cultural change. This work resulted in the report Culture and Population Change, which was produced to prepare the American delegation for the World Population Conference held in Bucharest, Romania in 1974. This series also contains materials from the Ethnography of Reproduction project, the purpose of which was to examine how modernization affected family size. The project, designed and directed by Reining, involved field research in Kenya, Mexico, and the Philippines. Reining conducted the field work on the Kikuyu of Kenya, and these files comprise the bulk of the project's presence in this series. The World Fertility Survey questionnaires that were distributed for this project have been restricted because they contain medical history information of individuals. Also present in this series is a great deal of subject files and conference, workshop, and seminar materials on desertification and arid lands as well as the use of satellite imagery. This series is unarranged.

Other AAAS materials can be found in Series 2. Research, Subseries. Satellite and Series 5. Daily Planners and Notebooks. For additional materials on AAAS conferences, see Series 4. Professional Activities.
