DOCUMENTARY DATA
By BERTHA E. JOSEPHSON
During the past months researchers and
scholars have made
considerable use of the manuscripts,
maps and state archives under
the custody of this department. Not only
have the various de-
partments of State, individuals and
legal firms availed themselves
of reference service by telephone,
letter, or personal visit but
there have been a succession of
out-of-city and out-of-state visitors
who spent extended periods examining
collections here. Among
these may be noted the following:
Professor and Mrs. Ralph P.
Bieber, Washington University, St.
Louis, hunting data on the
gold rush; Professor and Mrs. Everett
Dick, Union College, Lin-
coln, Nebraska, in search of material
for a social history of the
frontier; Mr. W. J. Hamilton, Dayton
Public Library, collecting
bibliographical information on the
Shakers; Mr. R. J. O'Dell,
University of Michigan, in preparation
of a doctoral dissertation
on the "Antislavery Movement in
Ohio before 1840"; Mr. James
H. Reding, Wheeling and Lake Erie
Railway Company, Cleveland,
in search of data on Ohio Canal Maps and
Surveys; and Mr.
George R. Woolfolk, Prairie View State
College, Texas, in prepa-
ration of a doctoral dissertation on
"Northern Economic Influ-
ences during Reconstruction."
