The Jan Bruckner Papers are a small collection of cassette tapes, manuscripts and printed materials produced during her time obtaining a doctorate at Indiana University's Physical Therapy Program. The main focus is applied anthropological research at Tohono O'odham Nation Reservation where she worked as a physical therapy consultant between 1982 and 1992, resulting in an illustrated binder of Tohono O'odham words and phrases to describe work done in physical therapy, as well as other related materials. Bruckner's physical therapy assistant was John Miguel, a native O'odham speaker from Santa Rosa AZ, who recorded O'odham words onto cassette tape. Other cassette tapes contain discussions of the ethics of applied anthropology, Tohono O'odham and Spanish language classes, and journal entries of Bruckner's time at the Indiana University Health Methodist Hospital in 1987.

The Amelia Susman Schultz Papers primarily contain original ethnographic fieldwork and related research at Round Valley Indian Reservation in California conducted during the late 1930s, especially with Konkow Maidu, Wailaki and Nomlaki Wintu people, and between 1948 and 1950 in Brienz, Switzerland. The papers include field notebooks, printed materials, research notes, one audio tape, draft manuscripts, sketch maps, and correspondence.
