Folder of correspondence of the Board for Anthropological Research (BAR AA 436) including the following items:

1. Correspondence to Campbell from Edward Albert Colson (AA 62) at Alice Springs (May-July 1930) re arrangements for proposed BAR expedition (AA 346) to central Australia.
   
   
2. Letter from Herman Adolph Heinrich (AA 487) at Hermannsburg Mission (NT) to Campbell on 6 June 1931 re proposed BAR expedition to Hermannsburg. Heinrich is happy for the BAR to visit Hermannsburg, but suggests that the anthropologists could find Aboriginal people to study at Ilbilla, Piltardi in the Petermann Range or at Horseshoe Bend, where there are some 'Lilla Creek natives'. Heinrich's letter includes a list of about 200 names of Aboriginal people at Hermannsburg.
   
   
3. Letter from Constable Virgo at Oodnadatta Police Station to Campbell on 19 June 1931 advising that there are some Aboriginal people at Macumba, Lambina and Oodnadatta who would be suitable subjects for anthropological study. Virgo advises that 'there are always a fair-sized camp on the Alberga Creek' near Lambina Station, and 'a fair crowd of Natives' at Oodnadatta. Virgo also advises that Indulkana Station has closed and there are no Aboriginal people there.
   
   
4. Letter from Friedrich Wilhelm Albrecht at Nuriootpa to Campbell on 23 June 1931 advising that after the BAR's 1929 expedition to Hermannsburg there was a strong revival of traditional ceremonies because the anthropologists had encouraged the performance of these rituals. Albrecht does not want this to recur if the BAR again visits the mission.
   
   
5. Letter from Ernest Eugene Kramer (AA 669) in Alice Springs on 4 July 1931 to Campbell offering his help in finding Aboriginal people for the BAR's proposed studies. Kramer's letter includes brief references to the 'Illpirra' and 'Ngali' tribes.
   
   
6. Letter from Sid Staines at Erldunda Station (NT) to Dr Robert Henry Pulleine (AA 259) on 25 November 1931, advising that he can 'muster up a hundred of more of those Petermann blacks into Mt Connor' where they could be examined by anthropologists.
