Subseries V. Translations and transcriptions | Box 15-16 | |||
Translations into English (and occasional transcriptions in German) of Boas family letters. Created by descendants of Boas, named where identified. In addition to translations here, some translations can be found interfiled into other series in this collection to accompany the original letters. It is unknown which letters these correspond to, and therefore likely that these transcriptions reflect both letters in the Boas Family Papers (Mss.B.B61f) and the Franz Boas Personal and Professional Papers, Series II (Mss.B.B61p). Processing information: Arranged chronologically. Date groupings reflect original folders. Some folders in this subseries originally marked "B.B61t", which did not appear to match existing cataloguing in 2022. | ||||
