content: Series 8 comprises posthumously collected materials about Ann Dunham and her legacy.  This includes academic files, publication files, biographical material, and files relating to the posthumous recognition of Dunham and her work.  Material types include correspondence, ephemera, lectures, articles, and references.

The materials from Alice Dewey consist of personal letters Dunham wrote to Dewey, files kept by Dewey as her academic advisor, and Dewey's record of interviews she has given and other work she has done to perpetuate Ann Dunham's memory.

The dissertation files are primarily related to the publication of the first half of Dunham's dissertation, Surviving against the Odds: Village Industry in Indonesia, in 2009. Edited by Alice Dewey and Nancy Cooper, it focused on the economic and development aspects of the blacksmithing industry. As of 2011, Dewey and Cooper have begun editing the second book concerning the archaeology and ethnography of blacksmithing in Indonesia. There are also files regarding an Indonesian translation.

The supplemental and information files were primarily collected by Dunham's friend and colleague Bronwen Solyom regarding articles, books, and conferences about Dunham, with particular emphasis on Hawaii and the recognition accorded Dunham by the East-West Center and the University of Hawaii. In addition, these series include a bibliography of Dunham's writings, files on awards and honors, and chronologies of her life and activities. Also included is a limited edition book from 2010 about the family of Dunham's second husband, Lolo Soetoro, donated by Maya Soetoro-Ng.
