The Human Relations Area Files at Yale University is a membership-supported nonprofit organization committed to developing dynamic, expertly indexed and curated online anthropological databases. We provide support services to over 550 academic member institutions from around the world. Our mission is to promote understanding of cultural diversity and commonality in the past and present. 

As the largest anthropological data bank in the world, eHRAF features global samples of cultures and traditions, with ethnographic and archaeological data subject-indexed at the paragraph level. In this workshop, participants will learn more about our two flagship databases – eHRAF World Cultures and eHRAF Archaeology. 

We will provide an overview of the eHRAF databases and will demonstrate how cultures and traditions are organized by regions, sub-regions, samples, and subsistence types. Then we will cover sample basic and advanced searches, browsing subjects and cultures or tradition, and saving your search results including meta data. The workshop will also introduce participants to our Teaching eHRAF resources, including the eHRAF Workbooks designed to complement any anthropology curriculum.
