content: This series, dated 1963 to 2011 and undated, includes biographical material related to Ortner's education and career as a biological anthropologist at the Smithsonian. It contains resumes, diplomas (including the Honorary Doctorate of Science from the University of Bradford), administrative office files, retirement plans, travel documents, and a calendar of appointments. 

Of note are several folders containing Ortner's reviews for the Professional Accomplishments Evaluation Committee (PAEC), which advised the director of the NMNH on matters related to the competency and progress of staff members. The PAEC complemented the annual performance plans and reviews, also present in this series, by focusing on a longer term level of performance. PAEC reviews include what Ortner was doing professionally in research, publications, public functions, field work, exhibits, honors and awards received, professional memberships, grants and contracts, teaching, and job-related training.
