Archive Collections / Ursula Hope McConnel / Series AA 191/04 / Five Lists: 'List of Books', 'Language', 'Bibliography for 'Primitive Society', [references to totemism and American Indians] and 'Reference Books Recommended for Anthropology 128, Sapir's 'Problems in Anthropology''
Five lists of literature references, the third and fourth pinned together, and 1-5 each pinned separately then then all pinned together.

  1. First list: Cover sheet 'List of Books' the dominant subject of which is psychology. McConnel attended courses in psychology in London 1923-26 but the items here suggest the list was created in the 1930s. She attended Sapir's course in Psychology of Language during 1931-33 (see her job application of 1939 below for a list of courses attended). Nine leaves in handwriting (ink);

  2. Second list: heading is 'Language' and many references are to linguistic texts; in a different ink the list continues but the topic is then kinship and social organisation. McConnel attended Sapir's course in Introduction to Linguistic Science: Phonetics, [and] the Psychology of Language during 1931-33. 3 leaves in handwriting (ink);

  3. Third list: heading is 'Bibliography for 'Primitive Society'. This was a course she attended given by Sapir during 1931-33. Four leaves mostly typed original, some in handwriting (ink);

  4. Fourth list: first page has references on totemism; second page has references on American Indians. Two leaves in handwriting (ink);

  5. Fifth list: heading: 'Reference Books Recommended for Anthropology 128, Sapir's 'Problems in Anthropology''. This also was a course McConnel attended during 1931-33. Three leaves typed carbon copy plus additions in pencil and ink.
