content: Series 6 includes folders organized chronologically within each society or other professional organization with which Selig collaborated.  Folders include correspondence, draft papers, one special publication (Practicing Anthropology: Special Issue on Pre-College Education that Selig and Patricia J. Higgins co-guest edited), and symposium abstracts, which document symposia Selig organized, papers she presented, and service she gave to various organization's task forces, committees, and one commission, to encourage the teaching of anthropology and archaeology in schools.  Series 6 has 10 subseries, each associated with an anthropological, archaeological, or education society, or other professional organization. The series concludes with Selig's collaboration with Ball State University Professor Eric Lassiter and his anthropology graduate student Dustin Cantrell, whose Masters' Thesis ("Placing Anthropology in Local Schools,") and article in Anthropology News includes a description of Selig's work promoting precollege anthropology, the Anthropology for Teachers Program, and AnthroNotes (see Folder 39 for Cantrell's Master's Thesis).
