The Frederick Dockstader collection contains the research files of this prominent expert on Native American art.

Of importance are Dockstader's notes about his Kachina research, which include correspondence, notes and artwork that led to the writing of his 1954 publication, Kachina and the White Man. There are also several boxes of index cards arranged alphabetically by Kachina name. The Kachina research files also include correspondence with Byron Harvey about his experiences in Indian country. The files also include inventories to important Kachina collections held by art museums, and finally, there are H.R. Voth's original notes about the Owen Kachina collection.
