HUMAN RELATIONS AREA FILES (HRAF)

The Human Relations Area Files consist of data on over 300 cultures. Each culture is assigned a “cultural file”, within which source materials (books, articles, manuscripts) are organized for the study of specific cultures or areas and for the study of a particular topic cross-culturally. Many HRAF materials are available in either microform or paper -- these items may be located by using the library online catalog, PantherCat. Some current materials may be found in the online HRAF.
The index for cultural groups is:Outline of World Cultures(REF) GN 345 .3 .M87 1983
The index for subject categories is:Outline of Cultural Materials(MFC) GN 345 .3 .O95 1982
