Scope and Contents From the Sub-Series:

Subseries A. Language and Grammar contains notes, manuscripts, and research material about the rules of the various languages that Adney studied. Most of this material was originally in boxes labeled "Miscellaneous language and grammar", with little to no information to further identify it. For this reason, the materials have been left in the order in which they were found, and identified when possible.

Series I. Photographic Material includes photos, negatives, slides, and some copies. They cover a wide range of topics, including buildings, people, and landscapes. Many of the pictures are not originals, but are pictures or copies of pictures from personal collections. Groups of pictures taken at the same time are grouped together in folders. The folder titles are taken from the original inventory of the collection.
