The collection is organized into 6 series: (1) Correspondence, 1931-1991; (2) Research Materials, circa 1930s-1990; (3) Writings, circa 1930s-1990; (4) Teaching Materials, 1935-1975, undated; (5) Biographical and Personal Files, 1928-1988; (6) Graphic Materials, 1933-1978, undated
Ruth Schlossberg Landes was born on October 8, 1908 in New York City. Her father was Joseph Schlossberg, an activist in the Yiddish labor socialist community and one of the founders of the Amalgamated Clothing Workers of America. She studied sociology at New York University (B.A. 1928) and social work at the New York School of Social Work, Columbia University (M.S.W. 1929). While in graduate school, Landes studied Black Jews in Harlem for her master's thesis, a topic that developed her interests in anthropology.
After graduating in 1929, she worked as a social worker in Harlem and married Victor Landes, a medical student and son of family friends. Their marriage ended after two years when she enrolled in the doctoral program in anthropology at Columbia against her husband's wishes. She kept his surname due to the stigma of being a divorced woman.
At Columbia, Landes studied under Franz Boas and Ruth Benedict, her main advisor. Under the guidance of Benedict, Landes moved away from further study of African Americans to focus on Native American communities. Upon Benedict's suggestion, Landes studied the social organization of the Ojibwa in Manitou Rapids in Ontario from 1932 to 1936 for her Ph.D. fieldwork. Her dissertation,
In addition to studying the Ojibwa in Ontario, Landes also conducted fieldwork with the Chippewa of Red Lake, Minnesota in 1933, working closely with shaman or midé Will Rogers. Her book,
Landes's plan to continue her studies with the Potawatomi in 1937 changed when Benedict invited her to join a team of researchers from Columbia University in Brazil. Landes was to conduct research on Afro-Brazilians in Bahia, Brazil, while Walter Lipkind, Buell Quain, and Charles Wagley studied indigenous people in the Amazons. To prepare for her research, Landes was at Fisk University in Nashville, Tennessee in 1937 and 1938 to consult with Robert Park and Donald Pierson and to use the university's library collections of African and African American materials. During that time, Landes also held a teaching position at Fisk and lived in the non-segregated women's residence on campus. Landes later wrote "Now, at Athens," an unpublished memoir containing fictional and true accounts of her experiences at Fisk.
From 1938 to 1939, Landes conducted fieldwork on the role of Afro-Brazilian women and homosexuals in the Candomblé religion in Bahia, Brazil. Unable to move freely by herself in Brazil as a single woman, Landes was accompanied by Edison Carneiro, a Bahian journalist and folklorist. With Carneiro as her companion, Landes was allowed access to rituals and people that would have been closed off to her otherwise. Due to her association with Carneiro, a member of the Brazilian Communist Party, Landes was suspected of being a communist and was forced to leave Bahia early. Publications from her research in Brazil include "A Cult Matriarchate and Male Homosexuality" (1940) and
Landes returned to New York in 1939, working briefly as a researcher for Gunnar Myrdal's study of African Americans. Unable to obtain a permanent position at a university, she worked in several other short term positions throughout most of her career. During World War II, Landes was a research director for the Office of the Coordinator for Inter-American Affairs (1941) and consultant for President Franklin D. Roosevelt's Fair Employment Practices Committee on African American and Mexican American cases (1941-44). In 1945, Landes directed a program created by Pearl S. Buck and a group of interdenominational clergy to analyze pending New York anti-discrimination legislation. She moved to California the following year to work for the Los Angeles Metropolitan Welfare Council on a study of race and youth gangs. After her contract ended, she moved back to New York and was hired as a contract researcher for the American Jewish Congress (1948-50). She also participated in Columbia University's Research in Contemporary Cultures (1949-51), studying Jewish families. She coauthored with Mark Zborowski, "Hypothesis concerning the Eastern European Jewish Family." From 1951 to 1952, Landes spent a year in London, funded by a Fulbright fellowship to study colored colonial immigrants and race relations in Great Britain.
After her fellowship ended, Landes returned to the United States and held short term appointments at several universities. She taught at the William Alanson White Psychiatric Institution in New York (1953-54), the New School for Social Research in New York (1953-55), University of Kansas (1957, 1964), University of Southern California (1957-62), Columbia University (1963), Los Angeles State College (1963), and Tulane University (1964). At Claremont Graduate School, Landes helped to develop and direct the Claremont Anthropology and Education Program (1959-62).
It was not until 1965 that Landes obtained a permanent faculty position at McMaster University in Hamilton, Ontario; she was recruited for the position by Richard Slobodin. Due to Ontario's age retirement law, Landes was forced to retire in 1973 at the age of 65. She continued to teach part-time until 1977, when she became professor emerita.
Landes passed away at the age of 82 on February 11, 1991.

These papers were donated to the National Anthropological Archives by Ruth Landes in 1991.
Ruth Landes papers, National Anthropological Archives, Smithsonian Institution
It is obvious that, once she had agreed to donate the materials to the National Anthropological Archives, Ruth Landes worked on her papers in preparing them for the archives. Many documents bear notes concerning contents, and some documents include interpretive and explanatory notes. Special care was used to preserve the latter type of comment, for they obviously are of interest to researchers.
Less useful was the arrangement which Landes had imposed on the papers. She had very roughly and loosely gathered materials into large entities that generally related to the various stages of her career as a researcher. Within these groups, the material was arranged into many, many small groups and encased in plastic bags. From the archivist's perspective, the groups were not adequately defined, and the arrangement was not sufficiently perfected - presumably because of too little time - to make them useful. In fact, the arrangement was regarded as an impediment to their use. As a result, the archivist found it necessary to devise an arrangement and to sort the entire collection into it.
In regard to the large amount of printed and processed material, Landes considered it an extension of her field materials. Thus, in spite of the fact that it was not usefully arranged by Landes, it has been retained and an arrangement - sometimes rather rough - has been imposed on it. The printed and processed materials, particularly the clippings, often form the bulk of the several series of research materials, and their presence often explains the wide date spans of those series.
From 2009-2010, the collection was reorganized and the finding aid revised and updated. While original groupings were maintained, some of the original series were consolidated and are now subseries within a broader series. Significant changes made include the combining of the multiple series of letters to form one series of correspondence; the consolidation of Landes's manuscripts, publications, and publishers' notices and reviews to form a single series of materials relating to her published and unpublished writings; the creation of a general research series composed of what were originally separate series of various research topics; and the combining of biographical materials, financial records, and miscellany into one series. A few folders were also moved to other series that seemed to fit better, subject-wise; notes have been added in the folder list to indicate the original location of those folders.
It is unclear whether all the folder titles were assigned by Landes or if some were assigned by the original archivist when the collection was first processed in 1992. When the current archivist found it necessary to create folder titles, she enclosed new titles within square brackets.
The revision of this finding aid and digitization of portions of the collection were made possible through the financial support of the Ruth Landes Memorial Research Fund.
Collection originally processed by John Glenn, 1992. Collection re-processed and finding aid updated by Lorain Wang, 2009-2010. Finding aid encoded by Katherine Madison, 2017.
Correspondence from Ruth Landes can be found in the William Duncan Strong Papers, the Leonard Bloomfield Papers, and MS 7369. The Ruth Bunzel Papers contains a copy of a grant application by Landes.
This collection is mainly comprised of the professional papers of Ruth Schlossberg Landes. Included are correspondence, journals, published and unpublished manuscripts of writings, research materials including field notes and reading notes, photographs, drawings, scholarly papers and publications by other scholars, and clippings from newspapers and periodicals.
Landes's field research on Candomblé in Brazil is well-represented in this collection, consisting of her field journals, writings, and photographs. Also present are Maggie Wilson's stories that were the basis for Landes's
Reflections of other facets of Landes's professional activities are also included. Some materials concern her teaching activities, and there is also documentation of her work with the Fair Employment Practices Commission (a federal government agency during the administration of Franklin D. Roosevelt) and a similar private organization which immediately succeeded the FEPA; Gunnar Myrdal's research into the plight of African Americans ("The Negro in America"); the Research in Contemporary Cultures project at Columbia University; and the American Jewish Congress.
Among Landes's correspondents are Ruth Benedict, Franz Boas, Margaret Mead, Ralph Bunche, Herbert Baldus, Edison Carneiro, Sally Chilver, Frances Densmore, Sol Tax, Elmer S. Imes, Charles S. Johnson, Robert E. Park, and Hendrik W. van der Merwe.
This series includes both professional and personal correspondence. Among Landes's correspondence are letters from her parents, Joseph and Anna Schlossberg, and some letters from her Potawatomi and Ojibwa/Chippewa informants, including Maggie Wilson.
There is considerable correspondence with Herbert Baldus, Harold E. Bruce, Edison Carneiro, Sally Chilver, Harriet Gallop, Kenneth Little, E.G. Malherbe, Kurt B. Mayer, Hendrik W. van der Merwe, Walter and Anita Neumann, Louise Nocktonick, Keewaydinoquay M. Peschel, Franciso Sparta, Hillie Turkstra, Thompson Webb, Jr., and Thomas St. Germain Whitecloud. There are no more than a few items from each of the other correspondents, including Ruth Benedict, Franz Boas, and Margaret Mead. Only selected correspondents are named in the folder list that follows.
Many of the letters from Baldus are in German or Portuguese. Most of the letters from Carneiro and other Brazilians are in Portuguese.
This series is arranged into 3 subseries: (1.1) Letters Sent; (1.2) Letters Received; (1.3) Letters from Joseph and Anna Schlossberg.
Subseries 1.1: Letters Sent and Subseries 1.3: Letters from Joseph and Anna Schlossberg are organized chronologically. Subseries 1.2: Letters Received is organized alphabetically by correspondent's last name.

This series consists of Landes's field research and her subject files on various research topics. These include her research on Brazil; the Ojibwa and Chippewa; Potawatomi; and groups, especially minorities, in multilingual states with particular focus on French-speakers of Quebec, Basques of Spain and the United States, Boers and Blacks of South Africa, the several socio-linguistic groups of Switzerland, and Acadians (Cajuns) of Louisiana. Some of the materials in this series were produced for Landes's work for the Fair Employment Practices Commission, a federal government agency during the administration of Franklin D. Roosevelt, and a similar private organization which immediately succeeded the FEPA; Gunnar Myrdal's research into the plight of African Americans; Ruth Benedict and Margaret Mead's program Research in Contemporary Culture; and the American Jewish Commission. This series also contains her Fulbright-funded research on British race relations. In addition, there is a small amount of material that reflects Landes's interests from an anthropological perspective in such subjects as Americans of Latin American descent, education, aging, and literature. Furthermore, there is material concerning certain scholars with whom Landes had especially close relations, including Herbert Baldus, Ruth Benedict, Edison Carneiro, Elmer S. Imes, Charles S. Johnson, and Robert E. Park.
Landes's field notebooks are in a separate subseries at the beginning of the series and cover her research in Brazil, Louisiana, New York, California, Spain, South Africa, and Switzerland. These are generally in the form of diaries. As indicated in her correspondence with Ralph S. Solecki and other individuals at Columbia University during the 1980s, Landes had lost track of her early notebooks on her field work with the Ojibwa/Chippewa, Potawatomi, and Dakota; she apparently never located them. Some of her notebooks from Brazil also appear to be missing. Relatively little of the material in these notebooks was published by Landes. A folder of notes in the form of diary entries is included in this subseries. Some of the notebooks appear to have been annotated by Landes at a much later period than when the notes were originally taken, likely done when preparing her papers for deposit at the National Anthropological Archives.
The rest of the series is organized by research topic and is comprised mostly of "printed and processed materials." It is unclear whether this was a phrase used by Landes or the original archivist who processed this collection. In general, printed and processed materials consist of reprints, photocopies of articles, newsletters, reports, pamphlets, and newspaper clippings that Landes collected on certain research topics. At the end of the series are materials relating to the funding of her research, as well as a review of a grant application submitted by James Clifton.
Some of the materials in this series may have been for courses she taught, particularly materials in Subseries 2.11: Culture and personality/women. "Culture and personality" was a broad term used by Landes; she marked some materials "C&P" to indicate the area of interest. These materials probably relate to courses she taught in culture and personality. She also included some materials concerning homosexuality under this term. Materials not marked "C&P" by Landes have been filed here because they relate to the other, clearly marked materials. An example is items concerning women. It should be kept in mind, however, that Landes also taught courses that focused mainly on women, and some material filed here probably relates to those courses rather than courses on culture and personality.
In addition to Landes's notebooks, materials of particular interest in this series are Maggie Wilson's Ojibwa stories, as recorded by her daughter Janet for Landes, and notes and early drafts of her manuscript based on her experiences at Fisk University. A more complete draft of the manuscript can be found in Series 3. Writings.
See Series 3: Writings and Series 6: Graphic Materials for other materials relating to Landes's research.
Suberies 2: Research Materials is arranged into the following 23 subseries: (2.1) Notebooks; (2.2) Acadians of Louisiana; (2.3) Africa; (2.4) Aging; (2.5) American Indians (general); (2.6) Anthropology; (2.7) Basques; (2.8) Bilingualism and biculturalism; (2.9) Brazil; (2.10) British race relations; (2.11) Culture and personality/women; (2.12) Education; (2.13) Fisk University and African Americans; (2.14) Judaism and other religions; (2.15) Literature; (2.16) Ojibwa/Chippewa; (2.17) Potawatomi; (2.18) Quebec/Canada; (2.19)South Africa; (2.20) Spain; (2.21) Spanish-speaking Americans; (2.22) Switzerland; (2.23) Research grants

In chronological order. Includes Landes's applications to finance her research, notes, and instructions.
Financial records for Landes's grants
This series is comprised of manuscripts of Landes's lectures and writings (some of which were never published), reprints of her published articles and copies of her monographs, reviews of her publications, and notes and agreements with her publishers.
Included in this series is "Tongues that Defy the State," a large manuscript on state-sponsored bilingualism in Canada, South Africa, Spain, Switzerland, and the United States of America that appears to exist in several different versions, some with different titles. Placed first in the arrangement are three versions that include large portions of the projected manuscript. They were found intact among Landes's papers when they were deposited at the National Anthropological Archives. Following those three versions are the different versions of parts of the work that were found separately among Landes's papers. These many portions have been grouped by subject but are otherwise in random order.
Also in this series are drafts of true and fictional accounts of her experiences teaching at Fisk University, which can be found in the folders titled "An American Education," "Battlegrounds of Tennessee," "A chronicle of bloods," "Color cancer" "Fisk manuscript," "Now, at Athens (Blue, grey, and black)," and "Strange fruit of an American education." Earlier draft versions and notes can be found in Series 2. Research.
Series 3 is divided into the following 2 subseries: (3.1) Manuscripts of writings and lectures; (3.2) Publications
Contains draft of notes, newspaper clippings, and draft of talk given at McMaster University

Los Angeles City Health Department
This series consists of Landes's curricula vitae, clippings and writings about Landes, Landes's reflections on her life, her financial records, and a miscellany of materials that pertain to her personal life. Among the materials that can found in Subseries: Miscellany are her diplomas; will; and a copy of her marriage certificate for her marriage with her second husband, Ignacio Lutero Lopez. Also in this series are Landes's class notes from a course taught by Margaret Mead.
Series 5 is arranged into the following 3 subseries: (5.1) Biographical materials; (5.2) Financial; (5.3) Miscellany
Contains faculty description for Landes
Includes letters to and from George Park and Landes's notes on her life for Park
"Two California Court Decisions against Race Discrimination":
Assortment of invitations, greeting cards, programs, pamphlets, and two small banners; also Landes's name plate
This series consists of drawings, photographs, and postcards. The drawings are comprised of sketches by Landes, including self-portraits; a drawing by G.W. Allen; and a photomechanical print of a drawing of Edison Carneiro by José Guimarães. The postcards are unused and were collected by Landes from various locations around the world. The photographs are a mix of field research photographs and personal photographs. Topics include her field research on Afro-Brazilians and Candomblé in Bahia (now known as Salvador), Brazil; the Prarie Potawatomi in Mayetta, Kansas; the Ojibwa in Emo, Ontario, near Manitou Rapids; the Chippewa in Red Lake, Minnesota; and the Acadians (Cajuns) of Lousiana. There are also photographs of Landes, her family, and friends/colleagues. Among the photographs are images of Landes's parents, Ruth Benedict, Edison Carneiro, Sally Chilver, Alexander Daveron, Jules Henry, Elmer Samuel Imes, and Margaret Mead.
All the materials within this series have been digitized, with the exception of the nitrate negatives. Digital surrogates were only made of some of the nitrate negatives that do not have corresponding prints; see folder "Negatives" for more information. All of the images can be viewed online in the Smithsonian online catalog at http://siris-archives.si.edu.
The following have been separated and are restricted: Thirty-one 35mm nitrate negatives, mostly of Landes's 1938-39 Brazilian photographs and some of her photographs from Chevy Chase, Maryland, and 23 nitrate sheet film of Ojibwa (Chippewa), Potawatomi, and unidentified Native Americans. Prints exist for most of the Brazilian and Chevy Chase negatives. The negatives without corresponding prints are mostly variations of existing prints. Prints exist for most of the Ojibwa negatives, while prints do not exist for many of the Potawatomi negatives and negatives of unidentified Native Americans. These negatives, which appear to be from Landes's field research in the 1930s, have been digitized. (Digital surrogates: Landes_35mm; Landes_negatives; Landes_xray)
Series 6 is arranged in the following 3 subseries: (6.1) Drawings; (6.2) Photographs; (6.3) Postcards
Drawings by and collected by anthropologist Ruth Landes. Includes sketches by Landes of herself, a pencil drawing by G.W. Allen of three men sitting around a camp fire, and a reproduction of a drawing of Edison Carneiro.
Digital surrogates are available
