SIXTY-SIXTH ANNUAL REPORT 33 



ARCHIVES 



Eesearch 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.
