content: These 14 notebooks are equally divided between Barnett's two geographic areas of specialization --Northwest Coast Indians and South Pacific natives.  The Indian notes were done between 1934 and 1943.  The Palauan observations were made probably during 1947 and 1948, although the notebooks are not dated.  The New Guinea notes are dated 1955.  There is an interesting notebook made when Dr. Barnett taught a class in intercultural exchange at Berkeley in 1943.  Notes on Indian Shakerism can be found in "Yakima" Book 2, p. 131.  Miscellaneous papers and a card found folded inside the books are in a separate folder.  Each item contains information in brackets as to where it was found.  Illustrations of the material covered in the notebooks can be found in Series 8, Photographs, and Series 11, Photographic Slides.  Dr. Barnett's published works draw heavily from the material in this series.
