content: General correspondence includes letters and memos between Thompson and John Collier relating to the administration of the project. Other correspondence includes communication between Thompson and the numerous officials and private individuals involved with the IPEA research project. Primary correspondents in this series include: John Collier (Commissioner of Indian Affairs); W. Lloyd Warner and Robert Havinghurst of the University of Chicago; and staff members Clyde Kluckholn, Alice Joseph and Dorothea Leighton. A portion of the correspondence is between persons other than L. Thompson, but apparently became part of her records due to her position as project coordinator. Topics covered in this series include the formation, organization and daily management of the IPEA, as well as the problems and progress of committees and individual field researchers.
