| BOX 129-132 | Part II: General Correspondence, 1922-1994 | ||||||||||||
| The General Correspondence series in Part II supplements the correspondence files in Part I and features correspondence with family
members and close colleagues. An alphabetical file dates largely from the
mid-1940s to the mid-1960s and contains correspondence between Métraux and her
family, most notably her son, Daniel Alfred Metraux, and husband, Alfred Métraux.
It also includes correspondence with close associates, among them Theodora M.
Abel, Gregory Bateson, Jane Belo, Luther S. Cressman, M. Inez Hilger, and Margaret
Mead. Métraux’s correspondence with Mead in this series includes handwritten
letters that are more personal than those found in Part I, yet which remain
largely focused on their professional activities. A chronological file dates
largely from the 1970s to 1980s and relates largely to Métraux’s professional
activities. A digital file, 1987-1994, contains drafts of letters to friends as
well as draft responses to researchers inquiring about Margaret Mead as well as
Métraux’s own work as an anthropologist. Métraux’s correspondence with family
members, Mead, and other colleagues during her fieldwork in Papua New Guinea in
1967-1968 and 1971-1973 is located in the Projects
series in Part II. Material types include: letters sent and received with related attachments including photographs. |

| BOX 133-154 | Part II: Subject File, 1894-1994 | ||||||||||||
| The Subject File covers a variety of topics including Métraux’s involvement in
professional organizations. It further explores the lives and professional
activities of colleagues and the childrearing of her son, Daniel Alfred Metraux.
Prominent in the series are files relating to Margaret Mead. Included are
correspondence files, schedules, estate records, descriptive lists of Mead’s
personal papers, photographs, and writings by Mead, including poetry and a short
story. Also present in the series are items belonging to others that found their
way into Métraux’s possession. Included are personal items belonging to Gregory
Bateson among them letters, a calendar, photographs, and drawings from the 1930s;
a small cache of family papers; and a file relating to his analysis of the Nazi
propaganda film Hitlerjunge Quex. Letters and photographs from the late 1920s belonging to Reo Fortune are
also included in the series. The childrearing of Métraux’s son, Daniel, is well
documented in the series from his birth in 1948 to his graduation from Beloit
College in 1970. His correspondence reveals his close relationship with many of
his parents’ colleagues. Material types include: correspondence, memoranda, reports, minutes, programs, handbooks, directories, writings by others, bibliographies, biographical material, calendars, schedules, photographs, drawings, postcards, school records, notes, estate records, contracts, royalty statements, newspaper clippings, and other printed matter. |
