MISSOURI HISTORICAL SOCIETY. (1600 Locust Street.) 



In addition to a historical library of about 12,000 volumes, this 

 society maintains a museum comprising about 30,000 implements and 

 utensils of American Indians said to be one of the best collections of 

 its kind in the United States; and a large collection of manuscripts 

 and private and official documents. The museum is in charge of 

 Idress Head, librarian, and occupies about 50,000 square feet of floor 

 space in a three-story residence which is entirely inadequate for the 

 proper display of the collections. It is expected that a new building 

 will soon be available and an increased endowment. The society is 

 at present supported by membership dues, private contributions, and 

 the income from a small endowment. Both library and museum are 

 open free to the public on week-days from 9 to 5.
