Collection consists of some personalia and correspondence, extensive field notes, writings, and records relating to the American
Indian Film Project, dating primarily from the early and late years of Barrett's working life. Biographical information contains
course notes, diaries of trips to Africa, Hawaii, the American Southwest, national parks in the Western United States, and
the Yucatan Peninsula. Correspondence includes letters to and from Alfred Kroeber, George G. Heye, Frederick J. Dockstadter,
and other anthropologists, Milwaukee Public Museum colleagues W.C. McKren, Robert E. Ritzenthaler, and Stephan F. De Borhegyi,
and with various Barrett family members. Writings are articles, monographs, speeches, and book reviews. Field notes date from
1896 and reflect Barrett's work with the Pomoan peoples, the Cayapa Indians of Ecuador, the Hopi, Kwakiutl, and Sierra Miwok
Indians, as well as information about the Chippewa, Menominee, Piute, Washo, Wintun, and Yuki Indians. Most papers relating
to his tenure at the Milwaukee Public museum remained with that institution and not generally present in this collection
