content: This small series consists of information about Conant's career and his life outside of anthropology, as well as a few letters that do not fit elsewhere in the collection. Files include his curriculum vitae, his obituary, and materials from his memorial service, held on February 27, 2011. Also in the series is a newsletter clipping regarding an elementary school reunion that he attended, and a photocopy of a group class picture from his childhood. Files documenting his journalistic efforts in Finland are also in this series, as well as materials from his brief employment at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace. Among his letters is an email from Conant regarding his colleague Priscilla Reining and her memorial service.
