Summer Field School 2000 Collection, 2000 June-July

Scope and Content Note

This series contains materials on the specialty groups of the AAG, typically correspondence, annual reports, and newsletters. Specialty groups serve several functions, such as focusing on specific geographic topics, sponsoring professional activities, and providing networking opportunities. Some specialty groups began as committees or task forces (e.g. the Chinese Specialty Group developed out of the Committee on Chinese Geography). See Series #4 for the relevant committees or task forces.
