Eight poster-sized pieces of calendar art, reproductions of paintings by artists Jesus de Helguera, Eduardo Catano, and A. Barr. Several show the signature of Helguera in the painting, and the signatures of Catano and Barr are seen in two other items; no signatures can be found in others. Several include the printer or publisher credit, Galas de Mexico. Subjects are beautiful young women and handsome men. Several reference Aztec legends or themes. These reproductions do not contain actual calendars; apparently the calendar portion was trimmed off each item. They were originally framed. The largest item also contains advertising for cigarettes, including Raleigh and other brands, plus the "Villa Hermosa" Super Carniceria.

In his article, "The Cultural Ecology of India's Sacred Cattle" (1966), Harris hypothesized that the Hindu taboo of eating cattle was a result of economic and environmental factors in India. This sub-series documents the debates surrounding the controversial theory and includes his statistical analysis, notes from his field research in India in 1967, correspondence, and papers and articles by others on the subject. This sub-series also contains Harris' collection of Indian wall calendar art that he refers to in Good to Eat (1998, 49); one is similar to the drawing that accompanied "India's Sacred Cow" in Human Nature Magazine.
Arrangement:
Folders are arranged alphabetically.
Collection Restrictions:
Access to student records (consisting of graded materials and student recommendation letters), grant proposals sent to Harris for review by grant agencies, and part of his faculty recruitment files are restricted until 2081.
