		The Human Relations Area Files (HRAF) are a specially organized collection of thousands of books and articles on over 300 cultures from all areas of the world.
		HRAF is used primarily by social scientists wanting to find background information or specific data on an ethnic group, country, or culture or by those wishing to investigate beliefs, superstitions, or subjects like political structure, architecture, kinship units, or settlement patterns, on a comparative cross-cultural basis.
		HRAF places emphasis on the addition of material on cultures not already included in the files rather than on updating information in the existing files.
