Description: A brief survey of the Franz Boas Papers has indicated the presence of some materials discussing Franz Boas's arrangements to meet individuals from specific tribes for the purpose of anthropological interviews. Proposals were for Boas to visit schools or students to visit Boas. These discussions appear in correspondence (Series I) with two of the five total Carlisle Indian School superintendents (Moses Friedman and William Mercer). A fuller survey is needed to determine the extent of relevant materials across this and other schools, and the names of any students.
