scopecontent: label: Scope and Contents
content: This series, dated 1949-2001, undated is comprised of materials relating to Levy's academic and professional output over the course of his career. This primarily consists of files about his books, articles, essays, lectures; course materials from his time as a professor at the University of California, San Diego (UCSD); and conference files.

The book files include correspondence with publishers and reviews and press for Tahitians; drafts, correspondence, and photographs for Mesocosm; and notes, outlines and analyses for Microcosm, a planned second volume about Nepal that was never completed.  Notes, drafts, and published copies of articles and essays are included in this series, along with copies of lectures. Two sound cassettes of a lecture from 1983 are present in this series. There is a contingent of early work, from Levy's time as a psychiatrist, that deals with psychiatric and psychological topics. The course files include lecture notes, syllabi, and other planning materials.  Also included in this series is a minimal amount of material by others that Levy might have been reviewing or using for research, along with a few files on academic appointments and committees.
