Haas, Mary Rosamond (1910-1996)
Linguist
Papers, ca.1930-1996. 95 lin. feet

Haas began graduate work in Philology at the University of Chicago in 1930, but soon followed her advisor, Edward Sapir, to Yale. There, in 1935, she received her doctorate for an exacting descriptive analysis of Tunica, a linguistic isolate spoken in Louisiana, establishing what would become a life-long association with the Native American languages of the Southeastern United States. Eventually, Haas' research encompassed a wide array of languages from Tunica to Thai to the Athabascan and Muskogean languages and the Native American languages of California. As Professor of Linguistics at the University of California Berkeley, she exerted considerable influence over American linguistics both through her own work and through that of her numerous students. Among other honors bestowed upon her were membership in the National Academy of Sciences and the American Academy of Arts and Sciences.

The Haas Papers include correspondence, research notes, reprints, course materials, lectures, photographs and sound recordings relating to nearly all aspects of Haas' professional career. Among the many languages represented are Tunica, Natchez, Creek, Choctaw, Catawaba, Seminole, Kutchin, Nitinat, Nootka, Burmese, and Thai.

Hallowell, Alfred Irving (1892-1974)
Anthropologist. APS 1963.
Papers, 1892-1984. (21.5 linear feet).

Alfred Irving ("Pete") Hallowell was an anthropologist best known for his studies of Ojibwa culture and world-view, and the innovative use of the Rorschach Test in his studies of the psychological interrelations of individuals and their culture. Early in his career, Hallowell worked as a social case worker for Family Service, and even after moving on to study anthropology in 1920 (M.A.), he carried with him an interest in ethnic and racial culture, developing additional interests in psychological testing. Except for the years 1944-1947, when he taught at Northwestern University, Hallowell spent his entire career at the University of Pennsylvania where he was professor of anthropology, professor of anthropological psychiatry in the Medical School, and curator of social anthropology at the University Museum. A cultural anthropologist, Hallowell's use of clinical psychological methods, especially Rorschach tests, was both innovative and controversial in his discipline. In his research, he concentrated on the Algonkian Indians, especially the Abenaki and Ojibwa Indians of Canada and Wisconsin (Berens River, Lake Winnepeg, Manitoba, and Lac du Flambeau, Wisconsin areas), and the Saulteaux of Berens River.

The Alfred Irving Hallowell Papers (1892-1981) contain correspondence, subject files, manuscripts of published and unpublished works by Hallowell, papers by colleagues and students, research notes kept by Hallowell, with a special emphasis on social organization, personality, behavior, psychology, religion, and folklore. The collection of several hundred photographs provides rich graphic documentation of Hallowell's work among the Ojibwa and Abnaki Indians during the 1930s.

Hanson, H. O.
Photographer.
Photograph Collection, 1952-1957. 34 items, 0.1 lin. feet

The Santa Fe Fiesta and the Inter-Tribal Indian Ceremonial are two of the major cultural events held annually in New Mexico, both involving substantial participation by the Indian population of the state and region. The older of these, the Fiesta, originated in 1712 when the Spanish governor, the Marqués of Pañuela, set aside a day in September to commemorate the reconquest of the province by Don Diego de Vargas. Since 1919, the festival has been held annually and has increasingly become a celebration of traditional New Mexican culture and the varied ethnicities of its population. The Inter-Tribal Indian Ceremonial of Gallup, New Mexico, was organized by local businessmen and Indian traders in 1922 for "the encouragement of Indian arts and crafts and the education of whites to the beauties of Indian life" and for the "perpetuation of the dances, traditions and customs of Indian life."

The Hanson Photograph Collection contains 34 large format (8x10") black and white prints, including sixteen images of the Inter-Tribal Ceremonial at Gallup, 1953 and 1954, four images of the Jemez Pueblo, and nine images of the Santa Fe Fiesta, 1952 and 1953. Hanson has not been further identified, but he may have worked for the Bureau of Indian Affairs.

Letters, letterbooks, account books, diaries, scrapbooks, etc., concerning the families of Robert Hare and Thomas Willing (1731-1821, DAB).

There is a letter from Robert Hare Jr. concerning steam engines, and letters from Horace Binney Hare concerning his education at Harvard, 1860, his trip to San Francisco and the west, 1862, and numerous letters written while a soldier in the Civil War. There are many letters from Horace Binney (1780-1875, DAB) to his daughter Esther, who was married to John Innes Clark Hare (1816-1905, DAB), concerning family travel and court cases. There are also letters from outside the family, such as those from Dorothea L. Dix.

Harlan, Richard (1796-1843)
Comparative anatomist, paleontologist.
Journals, 1816-1817, 1833. 2 vols. (207p.).

The natural historian Richard Harlan was a pioneer in the study of comparative anatomy and vertebrate paleontology in the United States during the years following the War of 1812. Having received his medical degree from the University of Pennsylvania in 1818, Harlan was employed as an instructor of anatomy at Joseph Parrish's school and at the Philadelphia Museum. A practicing physician and member of the Academy of Natural Sciences of Philadelphia and the American Philosophical Society, Harlan made important contributions in comparative neuroanatomy, paleontology, herpetology, and systematic zoology. He died shortly after moving to New Orleans in 1839.

Harlan's journals document two of the three overseas voyages he undertook during his lifetime. The first took place in 1816-1817 when Harlan was still a medical student, accompanying an East Indiaman to Calcutta as ship's surgeon. The second took place when Harlan was at the peak of his career in 1833, venturing to England, France, and Italy to strengthen contacts with European colleagues. Interesting travel narratives in themselves, the journals mingle enthusiasm for the new and exotic with a touch of Harlan's truculance. The European journal includes a valuable account of the 3nd meeting of the British Association for the Advancement of Science at Cambridge at which Harlan delivered a paper on fossil reptiles.

Hasbrouck, Louis (1777-1834)
Princeton student
Notes from Lectures on Chemistry delivered by Doctor John McClean [i.e. Maclean], Princeton College, 1797 January-June. 1 vol. (133p.)

Louis Hasbrouck was in his last year at Princeton in 1796-1797 when he attended the course of chemistry lectures given by John Maclean. In only his second year at Princeton, Maclean was rapidly becoming known for introducing the latest currents in chemical theory, including the system of Antoine Laurent Lavoisier, and he was one of the first Americans to insist that students take part in active experimentation.

Louis Hasbrouck was in his final year at Princeton in 1796-1797 when he attended John Maclean's lectures on chemistry. His notebook from the second half of that course includes a detailed record of the lectures from January 24-March 14 and June 22-24, 1797, covering Maclean's discussion of the chemistry of metals, "chemical combination," combustion, and botanical chemistry. Although his notes are not complete, Hasbrouck was enrolled at a singularly interesting period in the history of American chemistry. This was only the second time that Maclean had offered his course, in which he introduced the new chemical system of Lavoisier, and it includes a relatively complete version of Maclean's most important lecture, "Of combustion." This devastating attack on Joseph Priestley and phlogistic theory appeared in print in 1797 as Two Lectures on Combustion: Supplementary to a Course of Lectures on Chemistry.

Physician. APS 1918.
Papers, ca. 1890-1972. (ca. 30 lin. ft.).

Correspondence, as well as reports, notebooks, lectures, diaries, photographs, and reprints. Heiser, who was a preeminent public health physician, created a rich archive of material documenting all phases of his career, especially the international health work of the Rockefeller Foundation from 1905-1934. There are voluminous, detailed, and interesting diaries for the whole course of his life (ca. 68 vols., 1908-1972). There are notebooks reflecting on his early training and work (21 vols., 1890-1907), and 3 vols. from lectures he attended at Jefferson Medical College in Philadelphia (grad., 1898). There is vast material documenting his work in the Philippines (1903-1914) as the Chief Quarantine Officer, then Director of Health, and also as a member of the faculty of the College of Medicine (now part of the Univ. of the Philippines). In his diaries, letterbook, correspondence, and photographs of the period there is much on health-related matters, but also one finds a wealth of data concerning the social and political matters of the Philippines, China and throughout Southeast Asia. There is similar material for Central America, where he also went for the Rockefeller Foundation.

Hinshaw, H. Corwin (1902-2000)
Medical researcher
Papers, 1925-1994. 3.75 lin. feet.

H. (Horton) Corwin Hinshaw was a physician and pulmonary specialist; the high point of his career was his work with streptomycin, the first anti-microbial drug developed after penicillin. Streptomycin has proven to be effective in combating a variety of bacterial infections, including those that are penicillin-resistant. It was also the first drug used to treat tuberculosis successfully, although the high rate of mutation in the tuberculosis baccilli causes it to build up a resistance to the drug over time. Hinshaw and his collaborator, William H. Feldman, were nominated for the Nobel Prize in Medicine in 1952, but lost out to their colleague, Selman A. Waksman, who first extracted streptomycin in the laboratory. Hinshaw subsequently had a long and distinguished career in medical research, private practice, teaching, and writing. The H. Corwin Hinshaw Papers (1925-1993) contain correspondence, research notes, and manuscripts of published and unpublished works by Hinshaw and his colleagues, as well as published papers by Hinshaw and his colleagues, particularly William H. Feldman. Also included are several videotapes of expert witness testimony and an audiotape of reminiscences. The collection covers much of Hinshaw's career, but is most particularly focused on the development of streptomycin and the treatment of tuberculosis.

History of Modern Astrophysics
Collection. Photocopied transcripts, 1976-1979. 2 lin. feet.

During the mid- to late-1970s, the American Institute of Physics sponsored a project to conduct oral history interviews documenting the recent history of astrophysics, eventually accumulating over 400 hours of fully transcribed and edited audio tapes. The project organizers placed a particular emphasis on documenting the various subdisciplines of cosmology and astronomical spectroscopy.

The History of Modern Astrophysics Collection is an important resource for the history of astrophysics in the latter half of the twentieth century. It consists of transcripts of interviews of 46 astrophysicists recorded between 1976 and 1979 by members of the Center for the History of Physics at the American Institute of Physics.

Höber, Rudolf (1873-1953)
Physiologist
Papers, 1886-1961. (5 lin. ft.).

One of hundreds of German scholars displaced by the Nazis after 1933, Rudolf Höber was an early proponent of applying physicochemical methods to the analysis of the physiology of cell membranes, particularly their role in the regulation of transport, permeability, and electrical properties. For many years his Physikalische Chemie der Zelle und Gewebe (1902) and Lehrbuch der Physiologie des Menschen (1919) were the standard works in their field.

The Höber Papers consist of five linear feet of family correspondence, with a small number of professional letters scattered throughout. Although Höber's physiological research, per se, is seldom discussed, the letters provide insight into the family life and privileged social milieu of a member of the German intellectual elite in the years prior to and immediately after the First World War, his loss of position after the rise to power of the Nazis, and the conditions of his emigration to the United States, his adjustment to American life, and his attempts to bring the remainder of his family to safety during the late 1930s. The collection is arranged in two series, Correspondence (Series I, 5.5 lin. feet), which is arranged chronologically, and Publications and miscellaneous (Series II, 0.5 lin. feet), which is arranged alphabetically.

Hohlfeld, John Maurice (1909-1973)
Papers, 1950-1972. 0.5 lin. feet.

The educator and linguist John Maurice Hohlfeld received his doctorate in education at the University of Pennsylvania in 1950 for a dissertation focused on the teaching of foreign languages. Throughout his career as professor of linguistics at the Kennedy School of Missions at the Hartford Theological Seminary, Hohlfeld maintained an interest in the teaching of languages, and during the 1960s, he developed an interest in the linguistics of jokes and humor.

The Hohlfeld Papers consist of a small assemblage of materials related to the linguistic interests and teaching of John Maurice Hohlfeld. The most valuable materials in the collection may be an assortment of student papers regarding the pedagogical materials used in teaching missionaries, primarily in West Africa. The collection also includes outlines and materials collected for two works of Hohlfeld's that never appeared in print, "Linguistic Structure of Jokes" and "Introduction to Applied Linguistics," as well as numerous jokes clipped out of newspapers and the popular media.

Hoijer, Harry (1904-1976)
Anthropologist, linguist.
Papers, ca.1895-1940. 19.25 linear feet; 4 recordings.

A student of Edward Sapir's at the University of Chicago (PhD, 1931), Harry Hoijer began his career in linguistics with intensive fieldwork on the Coahuiltecan language, Tonkawa, though shortly thereafter he turned to an intensive study of Athapaskan, including several Apache languages, Navajo, Sarsi, and Galice. Employed as an instructor at the University of Chicago for several years, Hoijer moved to the new Department of Anthropology at UCLA in 1940, where he remained until his retirement.

The Hoijer Collection contains textual materials representing linguistic studies of Athapascan languages, including Carrier, Chipewyan, Galice, Navajo, Sarsi, and five Apache languages and dialects, (Chiricahua, Jicarilla, Mescalero, Lipan, and San Carlos). The collection also includes four audio recordings of Loucheux (Kutchin, Gwich'in), and copies of texts collected by Hoijer from colleagues Bernard Haile, Diamond Jenness, David Mandelbaum, Chic Sandoval, and Edward Sapir.

Hunter, George (1755-1824)
Apothecary, physician, traveler, and explorer
Journals, 1796-1809. 4 vols.

Though less well known than their peers Lewis and Clark, William Dunbar and George Hunter played an important role in the early scientific exploration of the Louisiana Purchase. While the original goal of organizing a southern counterpart to the Corps of Discovery proved overly ambitious, Dunbar and Hunter provided important geographic information for future explorations and gave the first scientific description of the Hot Springs of Arkansas and Ouachita Mountains.

The four surviving journals of George Hunter provide engaging accounts of travel in the Ohio and Mississippi Valley in 1796, 1802, and 1809, and include the most interesting record of the expedition to the Hot Springs of Arkansas in 1804-1805, complete with his detailed notes on natural history and meteorology. The APS owns a contemporary copy of Hunter's journal ("Journal up the Red and Washita Rivers with William Dunbar"; call no. 917.6 Ex7), from which extracts were printed in Thomas Jefferson, Message... Communicating Discoveries Made in Exploring the Missouri (New York, 1806), and which is described by Isaac J. Cox, "An Early Explorer of the Louisiana Purchase," APS Library Bulletin 1946: 73. The journals were edited by John F. McDermott and published in APS Transactions 53 (1963).

Hymes, Dell Hathaway (1927- )
Papers. 1947-1992. 70 lin. feet.

Dell Hymes' doctoral research on Kathlamet Chinook (Indiana University, 1955) grew into a lifelong interest in the relationship between ethnography and linguistics. Following academic appointments at Harvard University (1955-1960) and the University of California, Berkley (1960-1965), Hymes joined the Department of Anthropology at the University of Pennsylvania, where he later served in the Folklore and Folklife Department (1972) and as Dean of Education (1975). A principal proponent of the emergent field of sociolinguistics, his most influential works include: Reinventing Anthropology and Language in Culture and Society.

The Hymes papers cover all aspects of Dell Hymes' professional life, though concentrated on his years at the University of Pennsylvania, his presidencies of the American Association of Anthropology and the Linguistic Society of America, and his editorship of the journal Language in Society. Of particular interest is his rich correspondence with colleagues and students on linguistic issues. The papers reflect Hymes' interests in the history of linguistics and anthropology, Native American languages, and his comparative ethnographies of communication..
