content: Official correspondence, project proposal, reports, and residence permits.  The correspondence (some of which is in duplicate) is left grouped in Dr. Barnett's arrangement.  The project to study cultural change and stability in displaced communities in the South Pacific area was funded by the National Science Foundation.  The goal was to send graduate student field workers to specific areas which were inhabited by displaced native groups --some for reasons for volcanic activity, some for governmental reasons such as atomic testing, some for reasons of weather such as drought and do an intensive study.  The students returned to the University of Oregon where they produced reports.  These reports are on deposit at the Department of Anthropology at the University of Oregon.  The project proposal also includes detailed curriculum vitae for Dr. Barnett, his associated in Australia and the U.S. Trust Territory, Cyril Belshaw, Leonard Mason, Henry Evans Maude, and James Spillius.

There are 8 annual reports which cover the 5 years of the study and 3 years of "wrap-up" including lists of the publications which grew out of this study.
