Dorothea and Alexander Leighton, both physicians, were in training in psychiatry when they set out to collect information concerning life problems of Native Americans and Native means of dealing with such problems. They spent January to May, 1940 with a Navajo family south of Gallup, New Mexico. This collection contains: five handwritten field journals from the Navajo study; original manuscript materials with some carbon copies; a few Rorschach tests; carbon copies of life stories, related by eight individuals, which were extracted from the 1940 field journals; and approximately 200 black and white photographs, a few negatives, colored slides, and tapes of an English language program.
