Series AA 52/7 comprises maps, figures and tracings relating to Campbell's research on Australian Aboriginal archaeology and anthropology. It includes the following items:
- Pastoral Plan Sheet No 12, showing the area between the northern end of Lake Torrens and the southern end of Lake Eyre North. A hand-drawn blue line on the map may indicate Campbell's route during his 1920 trip to Cooper Creek.
- Hundred of Seymour (Wellington area, lower River Murray).
- Set of 14 tracings, on brown paper, of Aboriginal rock engravings from Burra Creek (see Campbell's paper, 'Detailed notes on the Aboriginal intaglios near Burra' in Transactions of the Royal Society of South Australia, 49, 1925, pp. 123-7). These tracings were originally accessioned as AA 52/4/1-14 (Acc. No. 440-453).
- Hand-drawn graph (50x80 cm) showing the number of Aboriginal people of full and mixed descent in South Australia during the period 1900-1937. This graph was compiled by Campbell in March 1938.
- Hand-drawn graph (50x80 cm) showing the number of births and deaths among Aboriginal people of full and mixed descent at the three main mission stations in South Australia (presumably Point McLeay, Point Pearce and Koonibba) during the period 1922-1937. This graph was compiled by Campbell in March 1938.
- Map (54x39 cm, mounted on cardboard) showing the route of the 'Leichardt Search Party', August 1938. This map also shows the boundaries of the Mount Dare, Dalhousie and Federal pastoral stations, and landscape features along the lower Finke River and in the Dalhousie Springs area.
These items are housed in a plan cabinet in the Archives.
