content: This series contains files maintained by Harris with reference to his colleagues and students. The folders primarily contain unpublished papers; some contain correspondence. Folders comprised entirely of published papers were removed from the collection. Some prominent correspondents in this series include Napoleon Chagnon, Conrad Kottak, Claude Levi-Strauss, Darcy Ribeiro, and Karl Wittfogel. Also noteworthy is Harris' file on Antonio de Figueiredo, which contains correspondence from the 1950s, during which he was exiled from Mozambique and escaped from imprisonment in Portugal to London. This series also contains correspondence from General Humberto Delgado, an important figure in the Portuguese liberation movement.
