This sub-series contains typed and handwritten drafts of articles, ethnographic narratives, research notes, correspondence, and other unpublished material produced by Sylvia M. Broadbent and others. Articles are primarily working drafts of papers by Broadbent that were subsequently accepted for publication, though select articles are authored by colleagues. Correspondence represented here exclusively pertains to the revision and submission of manuscripts for publication and is between Broadbent and editorial staff. Research notes document sources consulted as well as Broadbent's writing process.

Photographs interfiled with notes and drafts are also included, however the bulk of the collection's photographs are contained in Series 7.
