In 1946, the Stewart began a program of cooperation with anthropologists of the Carnegie Institution of Washington and scientists from Guatemala. In part, the project was designed to promote relations between scientists of the Americans and was sponsored by the U.S. Department of States. Stewart's activities involved a study of the highland and lowland Mayans and the study of remains at highland archaeological sites. The subseries contains 40 silver gelatin prints and 40 matching negatives, most of which depict structures at Uxmal and Chichen Itza. Also included are photographs of Stewart and his family, excavations, and modern buildings. There are also lists of captions for a 1949 trip to Peru, though the photographs are not included in the collections.
