Description: Haas' Chimariko file is formed of derivations of Edward Sapir's fieldwork in 1927 that primarily recorded Hupa. Sapir's consultant was Martha Ziegler. A short lexicon is in the field notebooks of Series 2 Subseries ‘Yurok', while the majority is lexica, phonetics, morphological and ethnographic notes by Sapir himself in Series 9. Morris Swadesh also reinterpreted Sapir and others' phonetic Chimariko into a phonemic orthography, also in Series 9, and sent some materials to Haas as correspondence in Series 1. Additionally, Chimariko is scattered throughout comparative work.

Description: The most noteworthy aspect of Mary Haas' Ditidaht file, stemming from fieldwork conducted with Morris Swadesh as her first fieldtrip, is a fairly detailed transcription of songs collected. Series 2 contains the transcriptions and Series 10 the cassette copies, while the original tapes are housed at the Indiana University Archives of Traditional Music. There is much overlap with Nuu-chah-nulth, as Haas frequently identified correspondences between them. A sizeable lexical file (Series 9) and correspondence with many, especially Edward Sapir and George Herzog (Series 1) may also be of interest.

Description: Mary Haas' Nuu-chah-nulth (“Nootka”) file is extensive, with the majority of the volume being several thousand index cards of lexica in Series 9, including comparison with especially Ditidaht. Haas' first fieldtrip was with Morris Swadesh in the early 1930s to document Ditidaht songs, and Ditidaht frequently appears alongside Nuu-chah-nulth across the entire collection, as well as featuring briefly in a notebook from that early fieldtrip (Series 2). Much of the remaining material is directly from Morris Swadesh and Edward Sapir in the dedicated Series 2 Subseries ‘Nuu-chah-nulth', including annotations of a copy of Sapir's field notebook, and a long paper on Nuu-chah-nulth aspect. Haas also authored works including "The Structure of Stems and Roots in Nootka-Nitinat", notes for which are in Series 2.
