can also be found in this section. The subject files portion is composed of folders kept by the IRA from the 1950s to the early 1980s with the bulk of the material spanning from 1971 to 1983. These are single-subject files of materials selected by IRA staff. Although the original system used by the IRA was maintained, the distinction between administrative and subject files is not always clear resulting in some overlap between the two sections.

III. Printed matter, 1830-1987, undated. 119 boxes. Box 190A-225, Scope & Contents 250, 327-417 The Newsclippings contains articles removed from newspapers and magazines by the Indian Rights Association staff and their affiliates. These newspaper articles focus predominantly on Native American rights issues and represent the development of public opinion on the
- Page 43 - Indian Rights Association records IRA publications
subject throughout the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Many of these articles were written by IRA staff, including Herbert Welsh and Matthew K. Sniffen. Newspapers included in this series hail from all over the country, though they predominantly represent Alaska, Arizona, New York, New Mexico, and South Dakota. A few of the newsclippings in this series were sent to the IRA from other sources; these clippings can be found in their original envelopes.
The files are arranged chronologically, though researchers will find that some were previously organized under subject headings. Researchers should also note that there might be some overlap between the newsclippings and the publications series.
IRA publications contain annual reports, newsletters, and pamphlets printed by the IRA. The charter and by-laws of the Indian Rights Association can be found in this subseries. A complete run of the IRA publication Indian Truth can also be found here.
The Non-IRA publications represent the bulk of the Publications series. This subseries contains newspapers printed by Native American tribes, as well as printed material from other Indian rights advocacy groups. While the bulk of this section is comprised of Native American newspapers, there is a substantial amount of pamphlets, newsletters, and press releases from both national and international organizations.
The material is arranged alphabetically. An effort was made to retain the original folder titles; for the most part, newspapers are listed under the publication name, while public relations material, newsletters, and printed material produced by other organizations can be found under the organization name. In a few cases, the IRA staff had collected publications under subject headings, and these titles were maintained. Any material produced by a federal government agency can be found under the “United States” heading. Single publications and pages removed from other printed material can be found under “Miscellaneous” alphabetical files at the end of the section.

IV. Herbert Welsh papers, 1877-1934, undated. 6 boxes. Box 226-231 Scope & Contents
Documents in this series were separated from other IRA records in 1928 apparently with the intention to add them to Welsh's personal papers, but this was never done. The series is composed of incoming and outgoing correspondence, monthly office reports, and reports on investigations done by the IRA. Correspondence is arranged chronologically.
V. Research notes, papers, and maps, 1920-1925, undated. 8 boxes. Box 240-242, Scope & Contents 245-249 This series includes field and research notes by the IRA. Most of the material included here was produced by Matthew Sniffen and deals with legal issues and controversies about the legitimacy of certain Indian dances.

VI. Photographs and audio-visual materials, 1877-1983, undated. 39 boxes. Box 232A-239C, Scope & Contents 251, 418-429 Material in this series is composed of photographs, negatives, contact sheets, lantern slides, audio reels, audio cassettes, and two film reels. Most of the early photographs were taken by IRA staff members on field trips and a number of them are labeled. Photographs from the 1980s include IRA-sponsored activities and snapshots of staff members.
There are approximately 10,000 photographic items (photographs and negatives) ranging from 1877 to 1982. Several boxes are organized by state; these photographs represent nearly 30 states, with about half of those taken in Arizona, New Mexico and Alaska. Other boxes were organized alphabetically by subject including individuals, locations, and topics of interest to the IRA (such as dam sites, Navajo, and Indian schools), as well as images taken by Theodore Hetzel (organized by date). Negatives appear to correspond to the photographic groupvorganized by state. There appeared to be images in the negatives which were not in the photographs so there are unique items in this material. Most of these items are cellulose nitrate negatives, with some cellulose acetate, some glass plate negatives, and one roll
- Page 75 - Indian Rights Association records VI. Photographs and audio-visual materials
of color film. It should be noted that unidentified photographs might be compared to the negatives as these materials may provide information regarding locations, and vice versa.
Folder 5 of Box 234B contains an image labeled Crazy Horse but its authenticity has not been confirmed.
Although the majority of the lantern slides are not labeled, Box 287 of the Organization files series contains an inventory of them. The audio cassettes, audio reels, and the film reels are not available to researchers unless reformatted.
