Series I contains copies of rare publications, notes on the materials, and other information relating to the research. Most of the material is in Spanish and English - a small folder in Series I titled "Yucatec language and literature" discusses Yucatec Maya, and there may be documents in Spanish with Yucatec Maya influence.
