In an effort to answer some of these questions about the legacy of the HRS, the Society of American Archivists undertook a project to locate and list the unpublished materials from the Survey. The project was preceded by one conducted by Leonard Rapport in the early 1970s with a small grant from the Ford Foundation. The results of his survey were presented at the Society’s annual meeting in 1973 which stimulated further interest in the HRS. Little was done, however, until 1977 when, with the aid of a generous grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities, the SAA undertook a comprehensive search for HRS materials.
