LIBRARY 



During the year 1962-63, work continued on the organization of 

 the collection and its records under the supervision of Mrs. Carol 

 Jopling in the Bureau of American Ethnology Library. 



When the library's maps were evaluated, several very old and rare 

 ones were discovered. Among them were a T^icholas Visscher map of 

 the Western Hemisphere, Novissima et Accuratissima Totius Amer- 

 icae^ and Nova Belgica et Anglia Nova by W. J. Blaeu (Amsterdam, 

 1635) . Of particular interest to the Bureau, however, was the Census 

 of the State of California (1852) map and a quantity of other N'orth 

 American maps with linguistic and archeological annotations. 



Some fine books were given to the library, including a set by Sir 

 Richard Phillips, A Collection of Modern and Contemporary Voyages 

 and Travels (London, 1805-) presented by Dr. Frank H. H. Eoberts, 

 Jr. 



The librarian attended the Special Libraries Convention in Denver, 

 June 9-14, 1963, and visited a number of libraries and museums having 

 special collections on the North American Indian and Western history.
