This series includes the American Association of Physical Anthropologists (AAPA) constitution and bylaws, correspondence, and membership documents. Hrdlička persuaded other participants at the Section H (Anthropology) meeting of the American Association for the Advancement of Science in December, 1928, to found an organization for physical anthropologists. An organizing committee was formed with Hrdlička elected chairman and Dudley Morton secretary. In 1930, at its first meeting in Charlottesville, Virginia, a constitution and bylaws for the AAPA were adopted. Hrdlička served as chairman until 1932.
