Contents: notes, draft writings, photographs, press cuttings and a some amount of correspondence relating to OL's study of fire dances and spring rituals in Bulgaria and Yugoslavia. Although she carried out the field research for the project in the late 1930s, OL appears to have wrote up her research some time later after the Second World War. Many of the papers in this item appear to be partial drafts for a book "Spring rituals in the Balkans" but it is not clear that it was ever published.
