Papers, 1926-1977.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/122365700

The Sol Worth Papers consist largely of the contents of his Annenberg office at the time of his death. They almost exclusively relate to his professional and scholarly pursuits. The Biographical papers, 1943-1977, include copies of vitaes and clippings, date books, and college materials. There is correspondence, 1960-1977, with students, faculty, and national organizations during Worth's tenure at Annenberg including Margaret Mead. The Administrative papers, 1963-1977, consist of correspondence, minutes, memoranda, and statistics regarding the Annenberg School of Communications and include his participation in tenure reviews, faculty meetings, and academic committee work. In addition to administrative papers, there are papers relating to his involvement in professional organizations including the Anthropological Film Research Institute, which he founded with Margaret Mead, and the Society for the Anthropology of Visual Communication, for which he served as founding President. His teaching files, 1960-1977, include syllabi, reading lists, exams, and lecture notes. The collection also includes his research papers, among which is his most famous project, the Navajo Film project, which culminated in a publication, with John Adair, of Through Navajo Eyes: An Exploration in Film Communication and Anthropology. In addition to his own research, Worth kept reprints and manuscripts of other scholars as well as bibliographies, film reviews, and programs for film and theater. Photographic prints, journals, and other oversized material finish out the collection.
