The records are largely administrative with information on personnel, accessions, visiting scholars, care and maintance of the collections, etc. and include statistical data for the department's annual report in 1978, 1979, and 1984 from William Crocker [1978 only] and the NAA. Additionally, there is a folder on a proposed exhibit by the Baltimore Zoological Society, Inc., and Dr. Ubelaker's role participating on the NEH panel that reviewed the proposal.
