BIOGRAPHICAL NOTE

Dr. Henry Dobyns joined the Cornell Peru Project as its Research Coordinator in 1960, after receiving his Ph.D. from Cornell. In 1962, he returned to campus to participate in training Peace Corps volunteers to work in Peru. The Peace Corps also contracted with Cornell to have the CPP advise Peace Corps officials in Lima and to evaluate their impact on the communities. He was the Coordinator of the Comparative Studies of Cultural Change program and the Associate Director of the Cornell Peru Project from 1963-1966. In 1966 he became the Director of the project following the death of Allan R. Holmberg, the previous director.

COLLECTION DESCRIPTION

Copies of field notes compiled in Human Relations Area Files categories; typed newspaper articles about haciendas; cards comprising a Vicos census carried out in 1957-1959 by Dr. Mario C. Vázquez. Typing of notes was carried out by young women students in the Peruvian National School of Social Work, who began working for the CPP in 1960, recruited by Dr. Cara E. Richards (who was in charge of a fertility study directed by Dr. J. Mayone Stycos).
