Description: The pyschological materials in the A. Irving Hallowell papers are scattered throughout Series V. Hallowell was interested in psychological anthropology throughout his long career. Much of these materials are general in nature and not necessarily related to indigenous peoples. In the case of the Ojibwe, Cree, Abenaki, and Inuit, Hallowell did conduct studies of subjects such as aggression, behavioral environment, causation, cultural dynamics, cultural and psychology, dreams, somatology, melancholia, remembering, and nerotic signs. These studies can be located in Series V with folder titles named in the list above.

Other correspondence includes letters from Charles E.

William, a Seneca writer seeking work; from Evangeline Clark sending thanks for reprints, which she had sent to Suffolk University; from Merle H. Deardorff concerning consultant Clayton White, Pennsylvania place names, Speck (1942), and a lengthy discussion of the practices of Handsome Lake adherents; and from Speck to Deardorff concerning an Iroquois conference at Allegany.
