content: The series includes notes, bibliographic references, newspaper clippings, and articles about European ethnic variation. One of Hrdlička's lifelong interests was human variability, both between and within races. He spent much of his professional life accumulating anthropometric and osteometric data in his attempt to answer questions regarding variation in humans. It is not known how Hrdlička used these notes. They may have been an outgrowth of the information search on human variation—the accumulated data on the history of the peoples he was studying. Some notes appear related to a series of lectures Hrdlička gave on European ethnic history.
