374 CARNEGIE INSTITUTION OF WASHINGTON. 



HISTORY. 



Andrews, Charles M., Yale University, New Haven, Connecticut. Prepara- 

 tion of a general history of the colonies in America. 



Professor Andrews worked during part of June in Hartford, Con- 

 necticut, among the archives of the State Library, and after August 1 

 he studied the manuscript records in the New York Public Library. 

 This work will be supplemented in September by investigations among 

 other collections in New York City, notably in the library of the New 

 York Historical Society. Except in the form of occasional notes and 

 articles no publications are likel}" to result from these researches for 

 some time to come. 



Bandelier, Adolf F., New York, N. Y. Completion of a documentary history 

 of the Rio Grande Puehlo Indians of New Mexico. (For previous reports 

 see Year Books Nos. 11-13.) 



Dr. Bandelier died in March 1914 and since that date his widow, 

 Mrs. Fanny R. Bandelier, has been continuing investigations, under 

 the auspices of the Institution, in the archives in Seville, Spain, making 

 copies and extracts of manuscripts bearing upon the subject in hand. 



Osgood, Herbert L., Columbia University, New York, New York. Compile' 

 tion of an institutional history of the American colonies during the period 

 of the French wars. (For previous reports see Year Books Nos. 11-13.) 



Work on Professor Osgood's History of the American Colonies in 

 the eighteenth century has progressed steadily during the past year. 

 Since his return from Europe last September all of the time which he 

 could spare from teaching has been devoted to the organization of the 

 material which was then obtained and of other material procured in 

 this country, and to the writing of additional chapters. Work on the 

 colonies from New York to Georgia is nearly completed to 1750. 

 During the present summer his time is being devoted to New England. 



Since the beginning of last March Dr. Elmer B. Russell, a graduate 

 of Columbia, has acted as an assistant. He has worked mainly at 

 Boston and Worcester, Massachusetts, and has rendered valuable 

 assistance in collecting material from the archives and from pamphlets 

 and newspapers. A thorough examination of the newspapers and of 

 rare pamphlets is necessary if one is to present a reliable and exhaus- 

 tive discussion of political development in the colonies. 



Much more work also needs to be done in the Public Record Office 

 in London in order to clear up obscure points in the history of imperial 

 control.
