Schneider, Herbert W. (Herbert Wallace), 1892-1984. Selected papers of Herbert W. Schneider, 1924-1976.

Title: Selected papers of Herbert W. Schneider, 1924-1976.

The collection consists mainly of letters to Schneider, manuscripts, reprints of articles by authors other than Schneider, and material relating to organizations in which Schneider was active. The correspondence ranges from 1923 to 1976. The earlier letters include well-known correspondents such as John Dewey, Wendell T. Bush, Sidney Hook, George Herbert Mead, and Frederick J.E. Woodbridge. Although some of the letters are concerned with Schneider's philosophical theories and ideas, most of them comment on his books or articles, or concern his European travels; extensive correspondence exists for the period Schneider was working with UNESCO. There are about 40 manuscripts in the collection, most of which are carbons; approximately 15 are known to be unpublished. Also in the collection are chapters from his books, copies of some of his lectures, and several articles by Dewey and Woodbridge which are now scarce. The collection also contains minutes and matters pertaining to the American Council of Learned Societies, the American Society for the Study of Religion, East-West Philosophers' Conference and the International Association for the Study of History of Religions, reflecting Schneider's interest in these associations. In addition to the manuscript material in this collection, there are 46 standing volumes, some of which came from the libraries of Wendell T. Bush, John Dewey, and Frederick Woodbridge. Only three of Schneider's own works are included, one being part of the Woodbridge Lecture series. The volumes included in the American Religion Series are the products of Ph. D. research to which Schneider devoted special attention, since they are aspects of his own research in this field.

Franz Boas Papers, 1862-1942

Title: Franz Boas Papers 1862-1942

During the half century leading up to the Second World War, Franz Boas helped to define academic anthropology in the United States. Trained as a geographer at the University of Heidelberg, Boas worked initially on the Inuit of Baffin Island and subsequently on the cultures of the Indians of the Northwest Pacific Coast, becoming a leading figure in American anthropology by the first decade of the twentieth century. As Professor of Anthropology at Columbia University, Boas made significant theoretical contributions to ethnology, linguistics, and physical anthropology, helping to ingrain the four fields approach in his discipline and introducing the concept of cultural relativism into wide currency. He was, as well, a committed Socialist and an ardent opponent of both racism and fascism. This collection includes correspondence that Boas carried on with his colleagues in anthropology, as well as with those in the other social sciences and sciences. This correspondence is rich as a source for twentieth-century historians interested in "radical" social causes, since Boas was a socialist and an outspoken voice for progressive social causes.
