SECRETARY’S REPORT 87 
ARCHIVES 
Research workers and students continued to use the manuscript 
material and the archives both through personal visits for consulta- 
tion and by correspondence. A number of manuscripts on the various 
Iroquoian tribes were loaned to the Library of the American Philo- 
sophical Society, Philadelphia, for use of students and research workers 
in that field. The major task of carding the more important Indian 
vocabularies has been begun with Indian and English divisions for 
each. These vocabularies are being arranged so that they can be 
expanded as new material arrives. Many of the Iroquoian vocabu- 
laries collected by James Mooney, Erminnie Smith, and J. N. B. 
Hewitt, as well as a Natchez vocabulary collected by A. S. Gatchet, 
have been carded. 
Some 5,000 prints and negatives, including both black and white 
and color, have been made during the year for various purposes. 
Considerable use was made during the fiscal year of the photographic 
collections as illustrations for both scientific and commercial pur- 
poses. The Walt Disney Studio and Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer have 
consulted the photographic files for authentic material in making 
motion pictures dealing with Indian subjects.
