30 BUREAU OF AMERICAN ETHNOLOGY 



of Cochiti, ca. 1904, San Ildefonso, ca. 1908, and Santa Clara, ca. 

 1911. A 16-page caption list of the entire collection has been prepared. 

 The photographic files continued to be used extensively by scholars 

 and the general public. The year's total of approximately 600 pur- 

 chase orders and written and personal inquiries concerning photo- 

 graphs is about equal to that of last year, while the total of over 

 2,000 prints distributed exceeds last year's figure. 



ILLUSTRATIONS 



Work during the past fiscal year consisted of the preparation of 

 numerous charts, graphs, diagrams, and maps, the restoration of 

 photographs, photo retouching, and the drawing of a variety of 

 Indian artifacts. Also many miscellaneous drawings, diagrams, etc., 

 were prepared for other branches of the Institution. 



LIBRARY 



Detailed information about the Bureau, library is contained in the 

 report of the librarian on the Smithsonian Library, but it is well to 

 emphasize the fact that the Bureau library is still serving a useful 

 purpose in providing reference material not only for members of 

 the staff but for students and professionals in the Washington area 

 and visitors from other parts of the country. However, it should be 

 pointed out that the library is not wholly fulfilling the function that 

 it should because of the lack of a librarian. A full-time librarian 

 would not only greatly expedite the use of the facility by members 

 of the staff, but would also be extremely helpful to those who find it 

 necessary to consult publications in the Bureau library, many of 

 which are not available in many other places. Furthermore, through 

 an intimate knowledge of the material now available, a librarian would 

 be able to see that new publications pertaining to the Bureau's 

 researches are acquired promptly when they become available. For 

 many years the Bureau library was one of the outstanding places in 

 North America for anthropological research, and it well merits a 

 return to its former status.
