content: The North American Indian series contains a small amount of business records for the North American Indian, Inc., however the bulk of the material relates to the promotion of the project. Contents include including published reviews, lecture notices, newspaper and magazine articles, letterhead, and a list of individuals and institutions who subscribed or committed to purchase the North American Indian. Also included is a copy of Ella Higginson's booklet The Vanishing Race and other Poems.

During the course of processing the archivist visited several archival repositories with major Curtis holdings, including the Seaver Center for Western History Research at the Los Angeles County Natural History Museum, the Braun Research Library at the Autry Museum, the Pierpont Morgan Library, and the Getty Research Center. Some material from these collections that closely relates or helps to explain the material at the NAA was photocopied and placed within the collection for researcher convenience.
