Between 2002 and 2010, 225 people were selected for fellowships; 186 consented to allow partial access to their files. The materials are in English and Spanish.

The Carnegie Council on Children (CCC) was established in 1972 by the Corporation to undertake a broad investigation of what American society was doing to and for children, and what government, business, and other organizations and individuals could do to protect and support family life. The Council, which ended its work in 1979, consisted of 11 persons drawn from a wide variety of disciplines, including law, economics, anthropology, child development, history, and pediatrics. Its chairman and idrector was Kenneth Keniston, Andrew W. Mellon Professor of Human Development at MIT. Five major report's emerged from the Council's deliberations. The first, an overall analysis of the position of children in American society, entitled All Our Children: The American Family Under Pressure, was issued in 1977, together with policy recommendations for ways in which children's' needs could be met in the coming years. Other books issued by the Council included Small Futures: inequality, children, and the limits of liberal reform, by Richard H. de Lone, and The Unexpected Minority: handicapped children in America, by John Gliedman and William Roth.

This numerically arranged subseries encompasses (30) volumes containing the notebooks of Alexander MacGregor Stephen (1850?-1894), who was a Scottish mining prospector trained in metallurgy at the University of Edinburgh. He came to the United States in 1861. After service in the American Civil War, he travelled to Keams Canyon, Arizona, where he made acquaintance with Tom Keam, the trader, and built relationships with many members of the Navajo tribe. Stephen learned to speak Navajo. Diné bizaad was also his first language among the Hopi. Stephen's language skills made him an invaluable guide for investigators of the Bureau of American Ethnology (Bureau) (1882-1894). The bulk of his notebooks comprise the period (1891-1894), when he systematically recorded the ceremonial and daily life of the Hopi on the First Mesa Reservation. Some of Stephen's accounts were published by the Bureau. Dr. Parsons asserted that one of the most important contributions of Stephen's journal is the picture it presents of the relations at this time and earlier between the Navajo and Hopi tribes. There are also a few references to the Native American Tewa and Hokya tribes.
