There are small amounts of material concerned with such matters as special assignments to committee and supervisory work, problems relating to the curation of collections, field work, review of papers for publication, research proposals, recommendations for department policies and procedures, leave requests, delegations of authority, educational activities, and the administration of special funds. There is a very small amount of material relating to the River Basin Surveys and the development of the Anthropology Conservation Laboratory. A significant amount of the material consists of communications of the chairman in order to keep the staff informed of general developments within the department, museum, and Institution.
