{"value"=>"<p>This series contains Melville J. Herskovits's syllabi, lecture texts and notes, course outlines, printed matter, student field work notes, correspondence and papers presented by participants at conferences held by the Program of African Studies at Northwestern. Herskovits' close working and personal relationships with his students is not represented in this collection. James Fernandez is the only student for whom there exists a significant amount of material (Boxes, 86, 92). Of interest is a file Herskovits compiled of practical tips for first time field workers, provided by students returning from field trips in Africa.</p>"}
