content: This series contains the correspondence of Robert F. Maher. The bulk is professional correspondence regarding his work in the Philippines. Included is correspondence with anthropologists Harold C. Conklin, William A. Longacre, Daniel J. Scheans, Richard Shutler, and Wilheim G. Solheim. Also included are letters from Tommy Kabu of the Purari River in Papua New Guinea. Kabu was the leader of the Tommy Kabu Movement. His letters chiefly discuss a Purari cooperative and their desire to order goods from the United States. The folders are arranged alphabetically by correspondent, and general correspondence is filed chronologically at the end.
