Human Relations Area Files (HRAF)
Microform Location: Microfiche Cabinet 59, Drawers 8-10
A microfiche collection of mostly primary source materials on cultures or societies representing all major areas of the world, approximately 360 cultures of indexed ethnographic information comprise this collection. This set can be used for cultural comparisons (for example, mythology, taboos, causes of illness, ethnobotany) or for studying all aspects of a particular culture (Copper Eskimo, Iroquois, Trobriands and many more). The HRAF collection is organized according to two main print resources: The Outline of World Cultures (OWC) and the Outline of Cultural Materials (OCM), both located on top of Cabinet 59 where the fiche are filed.
The Index to the Human Relations Area Files,1974-1983 (Microform Reference GN 25 I542) is a subject index to the microfiche set organized by OCM category code. The index is most useful for determining the coverage of a subject in a file without going directly to the files themselves.
See eHRAF World cultures (listed above) to browse those Human Relations Area Files that are now online. NOTE: Not all HRAF cultures that are in the microfiche collection are online as of yet. It is a project that is ongoing.

African American Archaeology, History, and Cultures
"Outstanding Title!"
While there is a plethora of sites covering important areas in African American Studies such as abolition, the undergournd railroad, Civil Rights Movement, and African American music, this site stands out as unique and valuable. according to its reviewer, R.B.M Ridinger, subject librarian for African American Studies, Anthropology, and Sociology at Northern Illinois University. "Fennell provides links to online presentations about African American archaeology projects in a Web site that is part of a broader portal, African Diaspora Archaeology Network. Framed within this larger field, his site offers links to resources about the African American past, and excavations done in Africa itself. . . Highly recommended." Ridinger, R.B.M. Choice Reviews Online. Supp. 2005. Web. 30 Aug. 2012.
