The fonds consists of records created and collected by Harry B. Hawthorn in a number of different capacities: as researcher, professor, Dean of Anthropology and Director of the Museum of Anthropology. Textual records in the fonds include correspondence, transcripts, research notes and clippings from publications. Much of the graphic materials relate to Harry Hawthorn’s interactions with aboriginal communities as an anthropologist, a professor, and as the Director of MOA. Other images relate to his personal life, documenting his youth in New Zealand, his life as a father and anthropologist, and his later established professional roles.

The fonds consists of biographical information, clippings and articles, family histories, copies of publications (1912-1965), field notebooks/diaries (1903-1966), reports (1934-1968), manuscripts/research notes, correspondence files, maps and photographs.

The fonds consists of correspondence, photographs, clippings, artifacts, publications, legal documents, notes, transcripts of lectures and broadcasts, examinations, certificates and other miscellaneous items.

The fourth series consists of family photographs and artefacts belonging to the Morishita family. The fifth series consists of papers and artefacts belonging to the Morishita children.

The fonds consists of records dating from 1907 to 2003, which provide a unique source of information particularly about student‐related matters such as grades, university admission, graduation and examinations. In addition to records generated by the Registrarʹs Office itself, there are also Faculty records (1915‐1921) which were probably maintained by the Registrar who served as the secretary to Senate. The records have been largely retained in their physical order in which they were acquired ‐ as a result, records from different series are often inter‐filed together, making it difficult to distinguish them with any accuracy. The records on microfilm include correspondence, student registration cards, academic records, and information on scholarships and bursaries dating from 1913 to 1968. The Registrarʹs Office also collected copies of student examinations. In 1993 copies of student examinations from 1915 to 1969 were microfilmed and the originals destroyed.

The fonds consists of a 2-page typescript constitution (ca. 1907) and a minute book containing handwritten Society minutes (1907-1911).
