Several files contain records and memorabilia relating to Dr. Williams' membership in religious and fraternal organizations and his participation in a variety of Welsh and Welsh-American organizations. Notable items include diaries (English and Spanish) of field trips to the upper Orinoco River basin (1941-42) and to the Peruvian Amazon (1959) and a missionary's account of travel to the North Lushai Hills of Assam, India (1924).
