Papers, [Box #, Folder #], Special Collections Research Center, University of Chicago Library Biographical Note David M. Schneider was born on November 11, 1918 in Brooklyn, New York. He was educated at the New York State College of Agriculture at Cornell University, where he received a B.S. in 1940 and an M.A. in 1941. He received his PhD in Social Anthropology from Harvard in 1949, based on fieldwork on the Micronesian island of Yap. After graduate school, Schneider first taught at the University of California, Berkeley before accepting a position at the University of Chicago in 1960. While at the University of Chicago, he taught in the Department of Anthropology, serving as its chair between 1963 and 1966, and in the Committee on Human Development. He retired from the University of Chicago in 1986, 3 and worked in the Anthropology Department at the University of California, Santa Cruz until his death on October 30,1995. While at Chicago, Schneider was director of the Kinship Project, which was a study funded by the National Science Foundation that explored the way middle-class families in the United States and the United Kingdom respond to their kinship relations. A number of publications grew out of his work with this project which argued that kinship relations needed to be understood as cultural and social phenomena. Perhaps Schneider's most famous publication was American Kinship: A Cultural Account (1968). Scope Note David M. Schneider (1918-1995), anthropologist.

It has been arranged alphabetically by correspondent. The individual subject files are the same as they were at time of donation. Due to the large amount of unsorted correspondence, no attempt was made to integrate the general alphabetical series with individual subject files. A number of documents did not indicate the full name of the correspondent, and have been filed according to whatever identification was extant, be that first name, last name or abbreviation. Researchers looking for particular correspondents would be advised to look for an individual file, as well as in all possible entries in the alphabetical files for each person as no cross-referencing or integration was done at time of processing. Researchers should also note that additional correspondence can be found throughout the other series, when that correspondence was attached to particular research materials, manuscripts or reprints.
