content: This sub-series documents Kracke's field trips to Brazil, from his doctoral fieldwork in the 1960s to his returning research visits in the 1970s, 1980s, and 1990s. Kracke organized his field notes by date and place, and occasionally by informant (though the bulk of field note interviews with specific informants can be found in sub-series (1.3): Interviews and informants). These field notes document Kracke's research into the Parintintin of the Amazon, as well as into nearby and associated indigenous groups.

The material in this sub-series largely takes three forms: notebooks (or field diaries), typewritten field notes, and photocopies of the diaries and typed notes. While the notebooks, typed pages, and photocopied pages often contain the same content, they were created and utilized for different purposes. Excerpts of field notes, as photocopies, are collected and contained under topical headings at the end of the sub-series.
