Several of Hallowell's later works are represented, including "Bear Ceremonialism in the Northern Hemisphere Re-examined," "The Backwas of the Frontier," and "Rorschach Protocols of 151 Berens River Adults and Children and 155 Adults from Lac du Flambeau." Series IV (1.5 linear ft.) contains notes and articles written by Hallowell's students and colleagues. The authors best represented are William A. Caudill, who studied the Ojibwa, and Blanche Green Watrous, who administered Rorschach Tests to Native American children in the Lac du Flambeau and Berens River areas. Series V (9 linear ft.) contains field and reading notes taken by Hallowell, his students, and colleagues; as well as some course materials.
