legacy materials

[William J Poser]

Although a few items are believe to exist that have not been located,
the bulk of Harrington's notes are available on microfilm. They were
catalogued by Smithsonian Archivist Elaine L. Mills. The fieldnotes
are available on microfilm, at US$80 per reel, from Norman Ross Publications.
The Papers of John Peabody Harrington in the Smithsonian Institution 1907-1957,
edited by Mills, originally published in 1981 by the defunct Kraus
International Publications, now available from Norman Ross, can be used
to determine the reels containing material on a particular language.
The ten volumes are:
    * Alaska/Northwest Coast
    * Northern and Central California
    * Southern California / Basin
    * Southwest
    * Plains
    * Northeast / Southeast
    * Mexico / Central America / South America
    * Notes and Writings on Special Linguistic Studies
    * Correspondence and Financial Records
    * Photographs

Another major source of old material is the American Philosophical

For the Pacific Northwest, the Melville Jacobs archives at the
University of Washington are an important source.
