Chbonological list of impoeted collections 124 Index ■ 127 FOEEWORD. The present bulletin is virtually a new edition of the work entitled Special collections in American libraries, by William Coolidge Lane and Charles Knowles Bolton {Harvard University Library Biblio- graphical Contributions, No. J^B), published in 1892. Since the pub- lication of that most important contribution to American library literature there have been several surveys of a local character, for example, that of the Library of Congress published in its Report [with Manital) for 1901; the manual of Chicago libraries. Educa- tional Opportunities in Chicago, published by the council for library and museum extension, 1911 ; the Descriptive and historical notes on the Library of Harvard University, by A. C. Potter and E. H. Wells, 2d ed., 1911 {Harvard University Library Bibliographical Contribu- tions, No. 60) ; and the Readers'' Manual, published by Columbia Uni- versity in 1911. These local surveys are of fundamental importance ; they involve bibliographical work of the most valuable kind and make possible library publicity of the highest type. In the scientific organization of our libraries, however, a national survey is of even greater importance, because it is only by such a survey that collections of general value may be distinguished from those of merely local value and that the results of all local surveys may be made generally known. It was for these reasons that the Commissioner of Education, in collecting the library statistics of the year 1908, determined to secure also information regarding special collections in libraries in the United States, and with that in view issued a circular, dated November 2, 1908, asking librarians to de- scribe (1) any collections of books, pamphlets, periodicals, and docu- ments in their libraries which were of unusual value either because of completeness in foreign literature or early literature of a subject or because the works in them were monumental in character or of un- usual rarity; (2) collections of interest primarily because of their history and associations; (3) unique copies of any book. The cir- cular added: The description of collections should include a statement of the tot&l number of volumes and pamphlets, mention of any special features and references to 3 4 FOBEWOBD. printed catalogues or articles descriptive of such collections. The description of collections acquired m iloc should include also the name of the collector and date of acquisition of the collection. This circular was sent to 2,298 libraries. In preparing the retiirns for publication very much has, of course, been omitted, and perhaps more might have been omitted with profit. It seemed better, how- ever, to err on the side of inclusiveness; It also seemed better to ar- range the material by subject matter rather than by place, although this plan involved more editorial labor. It should be added that these statistics, like others, must, in the nature of things, be only relatively correct, because some libraries, like the Library of Congress and the John Crerar Library, are grow- ing very rapidly, and biecause libraries differ more or less in their classification of books. The editors are under especial obligations to Dr. W. W. Rockwell, librarian of Union Theological Seminary, New York City, for edit- ing the chapter descriptive of the theological collections.

This total number includes the duplicates of many of the most used family histories, and the many reprints from periodicals, etc. The collection contains principally Ameri- can genealogy and a good number of English publications useful to Ameri- can geologists, but no French, German, or other foreign genealogy. The collection of English-printed parish registers is probably the best in this country. The collection of American genealogy is practically exhaustive for works printed before 1880, and lacks few publications since that date: It Includes an approximately complete collection of American genealogical periodicals and a good collection of the corresponding English publications, and aims to acquire all separates and reprints, etc., even when the periodi cal from which the reprint is taken is already in the library. In order to make the collection exhaustive works not strictly genealogical, such as biographies, addresses, etc., have been included whenever they contained any kind of genealogical table; the earliest printed genealogy of this sort dates from 1731, and the earliest printed work devoted wholly to genealogy from 1763, eight years earlier than the earliest title listed in Whitmore. HISTORY. 35 While the first aim of the society is to collect New England genealogy especially, it has broadened its field to include all regions to which New England families migrated or the families with which the New England families intermarried. It now collects American genealogy Impartially from, all sections of the counti-y. As collateral material, the collection Includes some 10,000 volumes of biography and a strong collection of local history which is complete for New England, next strongest for the Middle Atlantic States and the Western Reserve, and only scattering for the rest of the country. An especially strong feature of the collection of genealogy as a whole is tho nnusual amount of manuscript material which has never been printed. The collection includes also a complete file of the genea- logical notes from the Boston Transcript, mounted in scrapbooks, but not yet indexed. More than 300 separate genealogies are added to the llbrarv every year. The Pennsylvania State Library, Harrlsburg, has a collection of genealogy con- taining 9,425 numbers. The New Yorls Public Library has a collection of American genealogical ma- terial comprising about 5,000 volumes, supplemented by about 5,000 vol- umes In the collection relating to local history.

The later histories are not so nearly complete. See List of Amerioam genealogies.
