This series comprises four groups of cards:
- Harvard and Adelaide Universities Anthropological Expedition sociological data research cards
Approximately 125 cards in the format for Sociological Data cards used on the Harvard-Adelaide expedition. The series comprises printed cards with the following headings: (individual subject) Number, Name, Sex, Age, Effage, Location, Tribe and Date, and Remarks (over); and which have space for two photographs. Most cards have two black and white photographic prints attached, usually a front and a profile portrait showing head and shoulders or head and torso. Some photographs also show ' Adelaide S. Aust, Harvard-Adelaide Exp. 1938 N W ' and an (individual subject) number. The data headings are blank. The photographs appear to show non-Aboriginal people. These cards appear to be a research tool or possibly 'control' group for the Harvard and Adelaide Universities Anthropological Expedition. These cards are not numbered. Note that corresponding cards in the Anthropological Data format are located in the Birdsell collection (AA 689).
These cards are located in Drawer 24.
- Ungrouped data cards
A group of 15 cards in varying anthropological card formats. These cards have not been identified as relating to a particular expedition, and appear to be unsorted. Some cards relate to named individuals, including Nobby Forbes, apparently recorded at Twilight, near Eucla, W.A., in 1936, and Sidney James Cook. Note that further material relating to Nobby Forbes can be found in series AA 346/3, and photographs in AA 346/6.
These cards are located in Drawer 24.
- Card dividers
A group of cardboard dividers previously used to order cards. These dividers have expedition titles and card groups written on tabs.
These cards are located in Drawer 24.
