| title | C. F. Voegelin Papers, 1934-1970 (Ms. Coll. 68) | repository | American Philosophical Society |
| description | Abstract taken from online finding aid Trained as an anthropologist at Berkeley under A.L. Kroeber and Robert Lowie, Carl Voegelin spent the majority of his career as a structural linguist specializing in Algonquian languages, including Delaware, Potawatomi, Fox, Menominee, and Shawnee, and on the Seneca, Ojibwa (Chippewa), and Blackfoot (Siksika). His most significant contributions came through his studies of Delaware, Shawnee, and Hopi, but he is also credited with reviving the International Journal of American Linguistics after the death of its founder, Franz Boas, and with nurturing the program in anthropology at Indiana University, where he was on faculty from 1941 until his retirement in 1976. The Voegelin collection contains field notes, lexical files, notebooks, papers, correspondence, and other materials relating to Voegelin's work on Native American languages. The bulk of the collection concerns Delaware and Shawnee, but there is significant material for Blackfoot, Menominee, Ojibwa and Potawatomi, Seneca, and Penobscot. Notes on Turkish, kept during the Second World War, are also present. Among other important series in the collection are Voegelin's correspondence and notes concerning two of his major projects: the translation and interpretation of the Walam Olam and his study of Shawnee law. Correspondents include Leonard Bloomfield, Eli Lilly, and Morris Swadesh. A portion of the collection is indexed in Kendall (1982). |

| title | Wallace Family Papers, Subcollection II., Paul A. W. Wallace Papers 1895-1940 (Ms. Coll. 64) | repository | American Philosophical Society |
| description | Abstract taken from online finding aid The Wallace Family Collection documents the professional and personal lives of Anthony F.C. Wallace, anthropologist and ethnohistorian and his father, ethnologist, historian, and folklorist Paul A.W. Wallace. The collection includes correspondence to and from 20th century anthropologists, ethnologists, historians, linguists, and psychiatrists and provides a wealth of resources for the study of technological and social change, American Indians, culture and personality, revitalization movements, the anthropological study of religion, and the cultural and biological bases of behavior. Anthony Wallace's papers (1920-2000) comprise the bulk of the collection. In addition to Wallace's correspondence, research notes, and drafts, the collection includes Wallace family correspondence and photographs, as well as Wallace's writings from childhood through recent years. Due to its large size, the finding aid for this subcollection is presented in two parts: Series I-II and Series III-XII. Paul Wallace's papers (1920-1967), while representing a much smaller portion of the collection, provide rich source materials for the study of northeastern American Indians. The collection includes extensive correspondence with fellow scholars and Indian consultants, interviews with Indians of the Six Nations Reserve in Canada, and notes and photographs collected during his fieldwork among the Indians of New York State, Pennsylvania, and Canada. |
