Description: During her fieldwork in Eufaula, Oklahoma, where she documented Creek, Haas collected lexica of other Muskogean languages in an attempt to prove genetic relationships and reconstruct Proto-Muskogean. She collected Hitchiti vocabulary from Willie Haney amounting to a short field notebook and other loose papers. Derived from this work are comparisons and standalone ordered lexica in Series 2 and Series 9, often under the heading ‘Muskogean'. Additionally, Haas possessed 76 pages of Swanton's manuscript ‘A Sketch of the Hitchiti language' and discussed Ethel Cutler Freeman's fieldtrip to Big Cypress, Florida, found in Series 1. See also Mikasuki, considered to be mutually intelligible with Hitchiti.

Description: Haas' Hupa file is mostly comprised of published and unpublished work by others, most notably Mary Woodward and Edward Sapir. Series 1 includes correspondence with both Mary Woodward and Victor Golla on Hupa fieldwork and research. Chimariko and Hupa card files in Series 9 include lexica, phonological analysis and ethnographic notes, and are derived from work by Sapir and Woodward, including transcriptions by Woodward herself. Haas' Yurok field notebook in Series 2 includes a 12-page Hupa section with consultants Ned Jackson and Sam Brown, consisting of a basic lexicon and some grammatical paradigms. There are also some additional morphological and phonological analyses in the same series with notes from an unidentified author (possibly Woodward), and Haas made use of Hupa as an exercise in phonological reconstruction. Copies of sound recordings housed at the Berkeley Language Center are also present in Series 10, and have been digitized, available at the APS Digital Library.
