content: The original arrangement of this series has been maintained, with folders in rough chronological order followed by reprints and correspondence with Henry Field. There were three changes to this original order: (1) Thomas's Ph.D. diploma has been moved from after U.S. Army to the University of Chicago to reflect its intellectual association with that institution, (2) the corrected version of "Arab Holiday" was relocated from the Baghdad file to the Arab Holiday file, and (3) the Anthropology of Iraq volumes and a book in Arabic were integrated to reflect their association with Thomas's time in Iraq.
