Human relations area files (HRAF) is an internationally acknowledged organization in the field of cultural anthropology. It was established at Yale University in 1949. The goal of HRAF is to support and foster studying of human culture, society and intercultural behavior. HRAF includes two electronic scientific databases for teaching and research.
