Scope and Contents

This series contains materials related to her work as a professor. Folders are arranged alphabetically within each subseries. Mainly comprised of de Laguna's notes, syllabi, and subject files for courses she taught at Bryn Mawr College and at University of Pennsylvania, the series also contains materials related to the dissolution of Bryn Mawr College's graduate program in anthropology and a report she had written on a college committee as faculty representative. It should also be noted that all history of anthropology files may not be course related. While de Laguna taught courses on the history of anthropology, she also had a personal interest in the subject. Most of her notes related to the history of anthropology were placed under Series 4:Teaching as it was difficult to distinguish course notes from non-course related notes. A bibliography on the history of anthropology can also be found in Series 10: Card Files.
