Description: William Bright's Nahuatl materials are sizeable and cover his entire research life, mostly consisting of his own work from the 1960s and 1990s (Series 4), and many copies of small publications throughout his life (Series 2). Of note in the small publications is almost every issue of “Nahua Newsletter” (Indiana University) between 1986 and 2004, issues 1-18 of “Mexihkatl Itonalama”, and several 1940s-1960s SIL-archived publications. From his own work (Series 4) are interlinear glosses of Nahuatl texts, materials in preparation for taught courses at UCLA, products of brief fieldwork in Ixmiquilpan, Mexico, 1966, working versions of two of his own publications, and further linguistic analysis. He also corresponded with several linguists on Nahuatl varieties (Series 1), including Una Canger, who gave him a copy of the Copenhagen Nahuatl Dictionary Project.

Description: The Nuu-chah-nulth material in the Edward Sapir Papers consists of one poem, "A Blind, Old Indian Tells His Names," based upon Sayachapis, a Tseshaht man with whom Sapir worked during his fieldwork in the Port Alberni region. The poem in this collection is in handwritten draft form and typed out. This collection does not contain any of Sapir's linguistic or anthropological work, but consists materials relating to Sapir's literary and aesthetic writings, with some correspondence relating to the posthumous publication of his Collected Works. For Sapir's linguistic materials, see the ACLS Collection (Mss.497.3.B63c).
