190 CARNEGIE INSTITUTION OF WASHINGTON. 



1823, afterward Lord Stratford de Redcliffe, the famous ambassador 

 in Constantinople. Only a few letters from these collections have 

 been printed. Finally, the numerous papers of Sir Charles R. 

 Vaughan, minister 1825-1835, are in the library of All Souls Col- 

 lege, Oxford, where by the kindness of the Warden and the librarian, 

 Professor (Sir) Charles Oman, M. P., a beginning of their examination 

 has been made. It will be seen that the main source of material will 

 be the Public Record Office. 



MISCELLANEOUS OPERATIONS. 



As heretofore, the editing of the American Historical Review has been 

 carried on in the office of the Department and by its staff. The 

 American Historical Association and various other historical organi- 

 zations have received such aid as could appropriately be rendered in 

 respect to investigations in Washington and other services, and many 

 queries from individuals have been answered, or transcripts of docu- 

 ments procured for them. Mr. Leland and the Director have done 

 what they could to promote the measure for the erection in Washing- 

 ton of a suitable National Archive Building, for which an appropria- 

 tion was so nearly secured in the last session of Congress. All the 

 staff exerted themselves, in various ways, to make successful the 

 annual meeting of the American Historical Association in December, 

 which this year was held in Washington. 



The Director has served as one of the two representatives of that 

 association in the American Council of Learned Societies, and as a 

 member of the committee of ways and means in that council. Mr. 

 Leland has served the Council in the preparation and issue of its 

 periodical Bulletin, and the Association in a wide variety of ways, 

 and has continued to direct the work of transcribing documents in 

 Parisian archives for the Library of Congress. He has written a brief 

 history of the work of the National Board for Historical Service, for 

 insertion in the Annual Report of the American Historical Association, 

 and is preparing, for Professor Shotwell's series of volumes on the 

 economic and social history of the Great War — a series conducted 

 under the auspices of the Carnegie Endowment for International 

 Peace — a monograph on the war archives of the United States. Dr. 

 Stock has given courses of historical instruction in the Catholic 

 University of America. 



As to the Bandelier collection of documents obtained in Spain and 

 relating to the Pueblo Indians and the history of the Rio Grande 

 region. Professor Charles W. Hackett, of the University of Texas, to 

 whom the editing of that material has been confided, reports that he 

 has spent the whole summer in the work and has nearly completed 

 the manuscript of the first volume. This volume — Spanish texts and 

 accompanying English translations, introductions, and annotations — 

 will apparently be received from him this winter. It will make a 

 notable contribution to our knowledge of the field involved.
