Series II comprises the bulk of the collection as it is concerned with Dunham's long-spanning career as an architectural consultant for projects in developing nations. It spans the "development decades" of the 1960s and 1970s, with smaller consultancies occurring in the 1980s. It includes sketches, field notes and notebooks (some "hand" bound), photographs, numerous slides, negatives, reproductions of architectural drawings, as well as drafts of reports, finalized published reports, and albums/bound volumes compiled by Dunham that include newspaper clippings, charts, calculations, itineraries, maps, as well as the already noted material. Each consultancy groups' related correspondence is located in its respective subseries and is primarily concerned with project logistics and travel information, though some are cursorily personal exchanges between colleagues. The series is organized geographically and then chronologically. It includes work conducted in East Pakistan/Bangladesh, India (with cursory reference to Sri Lanka), Mauritania, Somalia, Djibouti, Jamaica, Nepal, and housing for Afghan refugees in Quetta, Pakistan. Material is primarily in English, with a significant portion in French, and some in Bengali.
