The Hermann Volrath Hilprecht Papers contain mostly correspondence to and from Hilprecht relating to his work at the University Museum as Curator of Babylonian and General Semitic Section. The Peters-Hilprecht Controversy Committee material is an unpublished report prepared by the Committee created by the University Trustees to investigate the matter. The Resignation series consists of two pamphlets of documents related to the matter. Additional material on the Peters-Hilprecht Controversy as well as the University Museum can be found in the Charles Custis Harrison Files (UPA 6.2H). The Archive also holds a copy of Hilprecht's THE SO-CALLED PETERS-HILPRECHT CONTROVERSY (Philadelphia: A. J. Holman & Co., 1908) - UPT 50 H544 1908. Biographical information, newspaper clippings and photographs of Hilprecht are contained in his Alumni Records File (UPF 1.9AR).
