content: Series 2, "Correspondence" comprises both incoming letters as well as Vayda's carbon copies of outgoing letters. Vayda's alphabetical arrangement has been maintained, with letters arranged by last name of correspondent but also by subject. Several files relating to Cook Islands and Papua New Guinea research at the end of the series are chronological. Additional correspondence can be found throughout the collection within other series, and sometimes related correspondence can be found in both correspondence as well as other series such as research and writings. Correspondence with Cherry Lowman can be found in Series 7. Of note is Vayda's correspondence with Roy Rappaport, spanning the 1960s-1990s and containing extensive communications throughout their field research in Papua New Guinea.
