content: This series primarily contains O'Grady's field research among the aboriginal communities of Australia. Document types include notebooks, field notes, card files with vocabulary, computer print outs of synthesized data, a map, and oversized word lists. Some of the languages that are most prominently represented in O'Grady's research include Njaŋumada, Jiŋgada, Umpila, Nyangumarda, Mabuiag, and Yulbaridja. According to Bowern and Alpher, some of the material is in Kenneth Hale's handwriting. Hale and O'Grady worked closely together for many years. Some of the vocabulary slips are in Arthur Capell's handwriting; Capell was Professor at the University of Sydney and worked on a number of Australian languages, especially in the 1940s and 1950s. Also in this series are two folders containing O'Grady's research on Cowichan and another folder containing notes on tonal languages and Swahili.
