NOTEBOOKS

Summary:Mostly Griffis wrote his notes on loose scraps and then bundled them together by project or time period (see NOTES AND SUBJECT FILES). In certain cases, however, he devoted a new or used notebook to a current project. Sometimes he kept a notebook for stray memoranda when travelling. Typically notebooks are not filled from front to back. Rather, Griffis would reuse a notebook, starting a new topic with a new section. Many notebooks have numerous blank pages, both following and between entries.

Listed in this series are notebooks that could be identified with projects with Far East interest. Notebooks relating to America and Europe are collected and listed separately (see Appendixes) or, in a very few cases, remain in the unsorted America/Europe boxes.
