eHRAF World Cultures
A Web-based, multicultural database for scholars, researchers and students with
an interest in cultural diversity. eHRAF is unique in that the information
is organized into cultures and ethnic groups, and the text is numerically
subject-indexed at the paragraph level.
Each culture file contains a variety of source documents (books, articles and
dissertations) that have been indexed and organized according to HRAF's
comprehensive culture and subject classification systems: the Outline of
World Cultures (OWC), and the Outline of Cultural Materials (OCM).
These comprehensive culture and subject retrieval systems extend search
capability beyond keyword searching.
eHRAF contains nearly 400,000 pages of information on all aspects of
cultural and social life with diverse topics ranging from religious beliefs to
causes and cures of diseases. eHRAF serves as excellent research and
teaching tool for cross-cultural studies. As multicultural database, eHRAF
appeals to many academic disciplines in the social sciences, humanities, medicine
and any other discipline with an interest in cultural diversity.

is ideal for the comparative study of prehistoric traditions within and across

The unique index and search systems provide a fast and convenient way to search
