scopecontent: label: Scope and Contents
content: Hay's fieldwork in Olduvai Gorge and Laetoli in Tanzania and other sites in East Africa spanned from 1962 to 2002. This series contains field journals, diagrams of stratigraphic sections, notes, data, photographs, and maps relating to his research in East Africa, which also included Oldoinyo Lengai, Ngorongoro caldera, and Kerimasi volcano in Tanzania as well as Rusinga Island, Lake Magadi, Amboseli, and Mount Suswa in Kenya. Absent from the collection are notes for his fieldwork in 1984, 1986-1988, 1990-1993, 1996, and 1997. Additional materials in this series are a curriculum vitae that he submitted for a grant to fund Olduvai research and reprints on Olduvai that he collected or were sent to him by the authors.

Please see Series 4. Sample Descriptions for descriptions of geological specimens collected from Olduvai and Laetoli. 
See also Series 1. Correspondence, Series 5. Specimen Sample List, Series 6. Publications, and Series 7. Photographs for more materials relating to Olduvai and his other research in East Africa. 
Series 3. Non-East Africa Research may also be of interest as it contains Hay's Amargosa research, which served as an analog to Olduvai Gorge.
