View the eHRAF tutorial at for an online "tour" of the database. Feel free to share the passwords with anyone interested in viewing the eHRAF databases.

The eHRAF Collection of Ethnography and the eHRAF Collection of Archaeology are Web-based, multi-cultural databases for scholars, researchers, and students with an interest in cultural diversity. The annually-growing eHRAF databases are unique in that the information is organized into cultures, ethnic groups and archaeological traditions and the full-text sources (books, articles, and dissertations) are numerically subject-indexed at the paragraph level.

eHRAF's numeric subject retrieval system allows for conceptual" rather than "keyword" searches. For example, you can search the concept "illness causation" more effectively by using the OCM subject code "753" rather than words or phrases. This powerful search system allows for indepth retrieval of information at the paragraph-level. See the Outline of Cultural Materials (OCM).

Teaching eHRAF: An innovative approach to teaching
Need new ideas for teaching undergraduate classes this coming spring semester? Why not visit Teaching eHRAF, the online student workbook. Exercises vary in style and topics and include group presentations, short student papers, class syllabi, and lab and library assignments. Subject areas currently include general anthropology and archaeology, research and methods, and medical anthropology. Teaching eHRAF may be used in conjunction with the eHRAF databases.

Please note that institutions can enjoy savings to up 70% in consortium dues.

Should you attend the American Anthropological Association (AAA) Conference in New Orleans, LA from November 20-23, I would like to invite you to stop by the HRAF booth # 411.

If you have trouble logging on, need another password, or have any questions regarding the database or consortium membership, please contact us.

Sincerely,
