E-HRAF World Cultures Database

eHRAF logo

 

e-HRAF World Cultures is an online cross-cultural database that contains information on all aspects of cultural and social life. The annually-growing eHRAF database is unique in that the information is organized into cultures and ethnic groups and the full-text sources are subject-indexed at the paragraph level and indexed with the Outline of Cultural Materials (OCM) subject headings. The full text is available linked as "entire file" in e-HRAF. The e-HRAF site offers a workshop on anthropological concepts and theories.

eHRAF is produced by the Human Relations Area Files, Inc. (HRAF) at Yale University. The mission of HRAF, a non-profit consortium of universities and colleges, is to encourage and facilitate worldwide and other comparative studies of human behavior, society, and culture.

Many Web-based Library resources are restricted to members of the uWaterloo community. To access this resources from off-campus you must use the Library's Connect from Home proxy service.
