content: This subseries documents Arensberg's research in Ireland as part of the Harvard Irish Mission in the early 1930s. As part of the social anthropology team, Arensberg was one of the first anthropologists to study modern industrial cultures during this trip. His focus was on rural life in County Clare. This work resulted in his doctoral dissertation and the publication of two books and various articles. It influenced anthropologists to study modern industrial societies. The diaries, correspondence, and notes in this subseries are photocopies.
