content: Most materials in this series concern the XIX International Congress of Americanists (ICA) meeting in Washington, D.C., December, 1915. Hrdlička arranged for the meeting to be held in Washington and served as secretary of the organizing committee and general secretary of the session. Materials of William H. Holmes, chairman of the organizing committee, and Frederick W. Hodge, chairman of the committee on printing and publication, are included. There is also material from Section I of the Second Pan-American Scientific Congress, which met in affiliation with the XIX ICA. There are a few materials for the XX Congress for which Hrdlička served as chairman of the American delegation.
