The Robert A. Scalapino papers are minimally processed and may be difficult to use. The collection is housed in original folders
(without Bancroft markings) and intellectually arranged according to Scalapino's office filing system. Like materials are
often physically scattered through a range of containers but the finding aid intellectually brings collection materials together
according to Scalapino's filing plan.
Includes personal and professional papers of Robert Scalapino, particularly during his time as director of the Institute of
East Asian Studies. Correspondence with individuals, professional organizations, and campus officials make up the bulk of
the collection. Subject files and organizational files for the centers within the Institute of East Asian Studies, and files
for published papers are also included.
