Project and Proposal Files, 1946-1986
Projects initiated from 1946 to 1968 and proposals presented for review from 1972 to 1986 are included in the Project and Proposal Files. In the project files, which are arranged by project number and chronologically, only the earliest date in the file, usually the date of the proposal, is listed. The files often contain the proposal as well as correspondence relating to the project, and sometimes progress reports. The early studies contain additional documentation, such as survey questions and tabulating information, some of it artefactual in nature. The proposals are arranged chronologically and contain proposals from 1972 to 1986 submitted to the SRC Executive Committee for review. Collectively, the Project and Proposal files provide an excellent overview of the topics and nature of research at SRC and how it changed over the years.
Additional materials containing copies of survey questionnaires for prominant files and project files from the early 1950s were added to the collection in May 2018.
