content: This series contains bundles of note cards grouped together in varying amounts. Notecards may be handwritten or typed, and are sometimes quotations pulled from a secondary source. Subjects include: hand gestures, pictographs, greetings and farewells, smoke signals (and other forms of distance communication), tattoos, mnemonic devices, and other matters. Cultures and locations vary greatly, and while the subjects of these notecards are mainly Native Americans, other cultures worldwide are also covered. Probably research notes, but there is no indication which publication(s) the notes may have been for.
