content: This series includes correspondence, anthropometric measurements, notes, photographs, maps, and hair samples associated with Hrdlička's trip to China and the Far East in 1920. Additional materials in the collection, not collected by Hrdlička, include anthropometric data collected by William Louis Abbott in West Borneo and photographs, hair samples, and anthropometric data collected by David Crockett Graham in China between 1928 and 1930. Hrdlička made a long-hoped-for trip to the Far East beginning in January of 1920 to deliver a lecture before the Peking Union Medical College. A stop was first made in Honolulu, where Hrdlička examined the cranial collections in the Bernice P. Bishop Museum. Hrdlička then proceeded to Japan and China. Before he returned, he also visited Korea and obtained more measurements in Japan and Hawaii.
