These acti- vities, which include the compilation of bibliographies, union catalogs and indexes covering a variety of subjects, are de- scribed in detail in the following page^. The industry and skill employed in them will be especially appreciated by librarians familiar with bibliographical methods, while their value as reference works will be appar- ent to students in general. On the other hand, the impossibility of their production under private auspices, because of their scope and cost, will be equally apparent. They were, therefore, legitimate objects of federal aid, which has been wisely applied and competently administered by the local WPA organization under the able direction of Dr. Alex Ladenson, historian, and Claire Blodau Benope, librarian.

THE CHICAGO PUBLIC LIBEARY OMNIBUS PROJECT For the past three centuries America has been so deeply engrossed in the task of conquer- ing the frontier that it has paid scant attention to the development of an American culture. The job of felling trees, clearing virgin fields, harnessing raw nature and exploiting our natural resources has been such an all-absorbing one that it has claimed the greater part of our energies. After three hundred years of economic evolution we can point with due pride to our material accom- plishments. We have established an enviable record in the production of material goods. But this emphasis on material progress has not been without its evil effects. It has served to stunt the cultural growth of our country. It has made large sections of our population blind to the cultural potentialities of American life. Recent- ly we have begun to recognize this deficiency as a nation and everywhere efforts are being made to rectify the situation. Thus, we are at last beginning to appreciate the significance of pre- serving written records — public and private. We have finally come to understand that cultur- al development depends on records, for, broadly speaking, records are to society what memory is to the individual. In this national movement to restore and preserve for succeeding generations the written records of American culture, the professional projects of the Work Projects Administration are making their presence felt. Throughout this vast land, groups of relief workers under competent supervision are preparing "bibliographies, indexes of various types, check lists, inventories, catalogs, sta- tistical studies and the like v;hich when completed will enhance the library resources of this country manifold. To this nation- wide program, the Chicago Public Library Omnibus Project is mailing its contribution. The Chicago Public Library Omnibus Project, as its name implies, consists of a group of projects or units which for administrative reasons have been merged into one organ- ization. Although the omnibus project is under the supervision of several coordinating officers, each unit of the project has at its head a person who by reason of his pro- fessional training or previous experience has been selected for that position. The official sponsor for the onmibus pro- ject is the Chicago Public Library, Each unit of the project, however, has one or more co- operating sponsors, among which are the following: University of Chicago Northwestern University Illinois Institute of Technology Chicago Teachers College Chicago Art Institute American Library Association Chicago Law Institute Chicago Bar Association Chicago Historical Society Board of Education of Chicago Newberry Library John Crerar Library American Dental Association Library Chicago Club of Printing House Craftsmen Polish National Alliance Board of Jewish Education The relationship of the various sponsors to the project is not the same in each case. In some instances it consists of close collab- oration between sponsor and project not only on questions of policy but also on matters of routine. In other cases it may involve tech- nical consultation with the sponsor. Still again it may include furnishing the project with supplies and equipment or providing its workers with floor space, or permitting the use of books, periodicals and newspapers. Finally, sponsor relationship may include defraying costs of publication of materials prepared by the project, VTe wish to take this opportunity of acknov/1 edging the assistance and splendid co- operation rendered not only by the sponsors mentionod above but also by many whose names cannot be included in this statement because space does not permit. In certain quarters it is argued that the preparation of an index or bibliography is of such an extremely technical nature that only specialists can undertake the work. It is con- tended that WPA labor is not equal to the task. In answer to such charges we can only submit the results of our efforts, A careful examination of our work will demonstrate, it is believed, that under competent supervision an adequate job can be performed. Furthermore, it should not be forgotten that certain aspects of the work in which we are engaged would never have "been undertalcen "by private individuals rr agencies. It is hardly likely, for example, that n,n index to Chicago newspapers of the past century v.ould ever have been started by any commercial house. Nor would an index to the foreign Idiguage press have "been undertaken. Similaily, it is improtahle that any scholar or private put-lishing concern would venture the pr3paration of many of the ether library refer-mce tools that are now being compiled by the omnibus project, Prom a functional standpoint the activi- ties of the omnibus project can be grouped in- to three major types: (a) Indexing (b) Compiling Bibliographies (c) Cataloging IITOEXES The principal indexes now in process of preparation are the following: Index of the Metropolitan Press Index of Congressional Debates Index of the Foreign Language Press Index of Printing Periodicals Index of Music Periodicals Index to Portraits — Science and Industry Index of the Metropolitan Press The importance of the newspaper as a primary source is too well established to re- quire lengthy discussion. At the risk of labor- ing the obvious, however, it may be pointed out that the newspaper is a giant reservoir of in- formation useful to historian, sociologist, po- litical scientist and economist alike. No true synthesis of American life can be made without a careful, if not exhaustive, study of the newspaper. An adequate history of a metro- politan center like Chicago cannot be written except by combing the newspaper files of the city. The press of Chicago is important not only as a source of local information but is indispensable to persons interested in the devGlopment of the national drama. The newspaper is equally essential to other classes of people. Hundreds of in- quiries come in daily to reference li"brar- ians for information about persons who do not get into "biographical dictionaries or en- cyclopedias. References to such persons are found only, if at all, in newspapers. The newspaper files, it should "bo added, also are consiated frequently ty genealogists, journal- ists, editors, "busin^^s men and others. But the newspaper without an index is like a sealed hook. It can be pried into only with the greatest difficulty. The information it contains is inaccessible except by thumbing page after page, and scanning each page column by column — not unlike looking for the proverb- ial needle in the haystack. An index is the key that -unlocks this vast body of valuable mater- ial. The Chicago Metropolitan Press Index has for its cooperating sponsors the Newberry Library, the history departments of Northwest- ern University and the University of Chicago, and the Chicago Historical Society, The news- paper files of the Chicago Public Library as well as those of the former institutions were made available to the project under the most generous terms. The scope of the work contemplated by the Chicago Metropolitan Press Index includes a name and subject index of at least one se- lected Chicago newspaper for each year from 1833 to 1937» Since there is no one Chicago nev/spaper which has been in existence con- 6 tinuously from 1833 "^o "t^® present, it was found necessary to index different newspapers for different periods. In no case has more than one newspaper been indexed for any single year. In selecting the newspaper to be in- dexed, availability and adequacy of news re- porting were the determining factors. The following newspapers have been or will be in- dexed: Ghi cago Democrat Daily Chicago American Ig3>^lg55 Chi cago Express Chi cago Daily Journal 12^46-1851 Chi cago Daily Democratic Press 1852-1860 Chicago Times I86I-I87O Chi cago Daily Tribune I87I-I89O Chi cago Daily News 1891-1910 Chicago Daily Tribune 1911-1937 It is important to remember in this con- nection that an index to a particular news- paper frequently enables one to locate refer- ences to a person or an event reported in other newspapers. Thus let us assume that the Newberry Library received a request for an account of the liqaor riot which occurred in Chicago in 1855 • Th© Newberry Library has in its ne'.vspaper collection for that year a file of the Chicago Daily Journal but not the Daily Democratic Press , Not knowing the day on which this incident took place, the reference librarian could ascertain the date by using the index to the Chi cago Daily Democratic Press for 1855 prepared by this project. Having thus located the date, the librarian could then easily consult the Chicago Daily Journal for a report of the event. The style of the index is patterned to a considerable extent after that of the New York Times Index . In selecting the list of subject headings, extensive but not exclusive use was made of that publication. This index also proved helpful in classifying a large number of entries in a given subject heading under adequate sub-heads. This is a task of no mean proportion for subject headings such as Chicago or United States. In the 1855 iii- dex there are approximately 3*000 entries un- der Chicago. This requires many sub- heads and sub sub— heads. Use was also made of the New York Times Index as a guide for style of punctuation, abbreviations and alphabetization. The Chicago Metropolitan Press Index, how- ever, is not follov/ing slavishly the New York Times Index . With respect to the matter of subject headings reference has also been made by our editorial department to the Library of Congress and A.L.A, lists. In many instances subject headings had to be devised by our editor-in-chief for items not covered by the standard authorities. Our index, we believe, is more comprehensive than that of the Now York Times in the number of names covered. Under our procedures all names pertinent to an article, except those appearing in a long list, are included in the index. Another de- parture from the New York Times is the manner in which the names of churches are filed. In 8 our index the names of churches are filed un- der the denomination rather than under the first word of the name, e.g. (a) Methodist Church, Indiana St instead of (Id) Indiana St Methodist Church Method "a'^, it is felt, is superior to method ""b" in that a person interested in a particu- lar denomination can find all the churches for that denomination grouped together. It may also "be possible that a person does not know the exact name of a church, in which case filing the name of the church under the denomination facilitates finding it. The present plan of publication is to pre- pare the indexes, one volume for each year, in typewritten form. These volumes will then be microfilmed by the Chicago Public Library, A positive print of the film will be available at a reasonable charge for any library or institution that desires one. On account of the possibility of damage incidental to indexing, and in order to preserve the newspapers for future generations, the news- papers selected for indexing have been micro- photographed. Over Uoo,000 pages of newspapers have been film.ed, providing a perra.anent film file for reference use in the Chicago Public Library. It also results in a tremendous saving of space for the library. Eight hundred pages of newspapers can be reproduced on a 100 foot roll of film. The film requires GJ cubic inches of space; the bound newspaper 2,h6U cubic inches. Although only a small section of the index is completed, the project has to date received niimerous inquiries and requests for the use of its files. It has already aided scores of people in finding material which otherwise could not have teen unearthed. The following persons, among many others, have made inquiries: Professor Bessie L, Pierce of the University of Chicago; Professor Lylo C. Bryant of Ind- iana University; Lloyd Lewis of the Chicago Daily News ; Sister Mary Ann Ruth of Mundelein College; M. S, Parkhurst of the Union Stock Yard and Transit Company; Ralph W, Cooke, Director of Historical Records Y. M« C» A.; Professor E. Ellis of the University of Missouri; Carl Roden of the Chicago Puhlic Library; Mildred P. Berry of Rockford College; Elizabeth A. Fitzgerald of DePaul University; H. T» East of the Public Seirvice Company of Northern Illinois; William S. Johnston of the Chicago Law Institute; Tut tie, Rice, Stockwell & Rice, Attorneys, Niagara Falls; Wyatt W, Belcher of Columbia University; M, L. Cole of the Newberry Library; Mrs. Jane Burnett of the Chicago Historical Society; E. A, Wieck of the Russell Sage Fouadation, To illustrate the wide variety of sub- jects covorcd by our index, we submit a num- ber of representative queries addressed to the project for which ansv/ers were found in our files: Date of portrait of Vfilliam Ogden Date of W, J. Bryan's Chicago speech Information on Asa S. Msrcer Locp.tion of early cattle yards in Chicago Standard Club - date, founders, etc, Knovz-lTothingism in Chicago Infoririation on Charity balls 10 Date of production of "The Lost Paradise" Information on Thomas Carlyle in America Information on Alex Hessler Information on Col. F* J, Hurlbut Information on J, S. Wright Information on early Lincoln speeches Inforraa.tion on Peter Pinley Dunne Information on economic rivalry "between St. Louis and Chicago On the basis of subject matter the inquiries received by the project may be classified thus: History 3^ P®^ cent Biography 27 per cent Economics 19 per cent Genealogy 8 per cent Literature 5 P^^ cent Sports 5 per cent Thxat our index has received considerable recognition from the community may be evi- denced by the fact that when the Chi cago Tribune began making plans for indexing its current newspapers, a representative visited the project to acquaint himself with our work proced-ures. Moreover, judging from the number of inquiries that have been addressed to the project and also the number of testimonial letters received from researchers, it is pos- sible to predict that our index will be of utmost value to scholars, librarians, jour- nalists and others. Index of Congressional Debates This project is designed for the purpose of preparing a comprehensive, single, cumula- 11 tive index of the congressional delDates for the use of the general public. It is partic- ularly intended for the "benefit of historians, political scientists, lawyers and government officials. The debates of Congress are con- tained in four series of volumes designated as follows: Annals of Congress 1789-182^ Register of the De- bates of Congress 182^-1837 Congressional Globe 1833-1873 Congressional Record 1873"* "to date The present indexes that accompany each volume are inadequate in two major respects: (1) In order to trace the history and data per- taining to a subject such as homestead laws, one is compelled to examine the separate in- dexes contained in over three hundred voluTi.3S. With the cumulative index now being prepared by the project, however, the researcher would need to consult but one index. (2) The present tjrpe of index by individual volume is also deficient in that the names of persons other than those of the members of the two houses are scarcely included. Thus the index in the volume v/hich reports the speech of Richard Bland on John D. Rockefeller ,and the Standard Oil Company contains references to neither John D, Rockefeller nor the Standard Oil Co. The re- searcher finds upon examination only "Bland, Richard, speech ''oy^ • In addition lo the index which accor>- panies each volume of congressional reports, there are other partial guides to the latter such as: 12 Adolphus Washington Greely, Public Dociiinents of the First Fourteen Con- gresses , I789-I8I7 . Benjamin Perley Poore, Descriptive Catalogue of the Government Publica- tions of the United States , Septem- ber 5, IJT^^March 4, Iggl . John Griffith Ames, Comprehensive In- dex to the Publications of the United States Government , 1881-1893 . Like the individual indexes in back of each volume of the congressional reports, the above reference works have also been declared in- adequate and incomplete by those having occas- ion to use them, The need for an index of the congressional debates has been well stated by one author: "The record has become a 'Cave of the Winds,' or a mausoleum of oratory, poet- ry, useful and useless information, and a medley of opinions, good, bad and quixotic upon every conceivable subject. Until a topical index is prepared, it must remain a closed book except to the most intrepid explorers,"' The cooperating sponsors for this project are the Chicago Bar Association, Chicago Law Institute, the University of Chicago, and North- western University, The work of the project has been organized with the intention of making one complete single index. Because of the usefulness of the ma- terial already prepared, however, consideration is being given to the preparation and conrpila- 13 tion of an index covering the Annals and Regi- sters only. The printing of this index is now "being considered "by the sponsors. In the event that actual printing is not feasible, it is proposed to prepare not less than two hun- dred and fifty mimeographed copies of the in- dex for distri"bution» Index of the Foreign Language Press The purpose of this project is to trans- late, transcri"be and index news articles appear- ing in the foreign language press of Chicago from 18^3 to I936. In the past it has "been difficult to evaluate the part played by the for- eign language communities in the development of Chicago because no one person could read all the necessary languages. There was no organization interested in making available the material which would enable parsons to utilize the great fund of information contained in the foreign language press. When this material is trans- lated into English by our project, it may be used in the preparation of historical, soci- ological, and economic studies and reports on all phases of city, comnranity and group life. It will open new avenues for the study of urban organization v/hich have hitherto been barred by thB inaccessibility of this informa- tion. Material which formerly v/as secured at great expense and in limited quantity will now be available for any type of study which in- volves the foreign language comimjjiities of the city. Although the work of the project is far from complete, it has inspired widespread in- terest and praise aiiiong scholars, leaders of the foreign language communities and other inter- lU ested persons. Requests are continually re- ceived from other projects, professors, re- search students and various organizations for the use of this material, despite the fact that it is incomplete and is not yet availa- ble in the public libraries. The available newspaper material for the following groups has been covered: Albanian, Chinese, Croatian, Dutch, Filipino, Italian, Serbian, Slovak, Slovenian, Spanish ajid Welsh, Since October, 193^. translators have been v/orking on the following foreign language groups; Czech, Danish, Germ.an, Greek, Hungar- ian, Jewish, Lithuanian, Norwegian, Polish, Russian, Swedish and Ukrainian. Translators select material on the basis of a code outline. The outline is divided in- to three major categories on the assuinption that students using this material will be pri- marily interested in the attitudes, contribu- tions and a,ctivities, and the degree of assim- ilation of the foreign- language comiiiunities of the city of Chicago, A list of the represent- ative individuals in each language group is al- so compiled. Under attitudes the study is limited so far as possible to the attitudes of each group toward local situations in Chicago, for example: attitudes toward education whether secular or parochial; attitudes toward temper- ance, family organization, religious customs and pra,ctises; attitudes toward big and small business, labor organizations and activities; attitudes tov/ard politics, war and other items too numerous to mention here. Under contribu- tions and activities of foreign-language groups, the scope of the project is limited to the Chicago scene. The cultural contributions 15 of each group, the professions, industry and commerce, the fine arts and literature are taken into consideration. Items are also selected dealing with the intellectual act- ivities of the foreigit-lang'-iage groups. Items dealing with athletics and sports are taken. An important field of activity for many groups has "been the orgp.nization of "be- nevclent and protective soc'ieties and insur- ance companies. All artic].es dealing with the esta"biishraent and maintenance of hospi- tals, clinics, orphanages, homes for the aged and settlement houses are ta'fcen if the for- eign community itself is responsible for them. To prevent the pic+^ure from 0(?ing onS'-sided, articles are tiiken v/hioh deal with crime and delinquency involving the; foreign-language group, and also its extra- legal activities. Notice is also taJ^en of "building activities and real-estate transfers which enahle one to trace the movement of these communities in Chi cage o Urider the third major category, that of the degroe of assimilation 5nto the life of Chicago, all items tliat deal v/ith efforts to preserve the old world cultural heritage of the foreign group, as ivell as items dealing with their efforts to "become ""Americanized", are takenc Articles on the activities of the natl nnalistic societies and their effect on Uni:ed States gov-^rr^iient and state pclicios are also included. The commemoraiiion of national or religious holidays of the groups is 1.0 ted. Articles ti eating of the relations wit'i iihe home] and and with immigration and emi- gration have also been collectedo Since a factor in assimilation is the partj cipation of the individuals of the foreign- langiiage com- mur-' ty in the "Qnit. d States Service, articles in this field have also been included. Other 15 special items included are the youth organiza- tions and the national churches and sects. There are, of course, other topics that are selected which ha.ve not been eniiinerated here, and there are no doubt many more that might have been included but which were left out be- cause the time and scope of the project is necessarily limited. The data prepared by the project is to be made available to persons interested in any phase of the activities of foreign- language communities in the United ^tates or in Chicago, whether for scientific or for popular articles and books. It will, therefore, permit a wide diffusion of knowledge concerning communities which form more than half the population of the city of Chicago, The project has for its cooperating spon- sors the Denni Klasatel, the G-reek Press, the Jewish People's Inatitute, the Polish Publish- ing Co, and the Polish National Allis'Jice, It is gratifying to report tha,t the number of people who have used the files has steadily risen. It is to bs hoped that when the files are finally deposited at the Chicago Public Library, and microphotography has made availa- ble duplicate copies for other libraries and institutions that desire them, many more per- sons will uso the material than is possible under present conditions. Index of Printing Periodicals This project is preparing an index of printing periodicals. Such an index will be of particular use to designers, printers, his- 16 torians of printing, and book collectors, as well as to librarians and other research workers. It will be of value for reference purposes not only to students but also to those who are engaged in the printing and allied fields. Within the past fifteen years there has been a tremendous increase in print- ing material both from the historical and the technical phase. Much of the source material for writers in this field is buried in periodicals and is therefore very difficult to locate. In fact, the whole history of later American and foreign printing is covered only by periodical literature. Much of the tech- nical information on newer printing processes also exists only in this form. There are so-ne general indexes , such as Poole' s and Readers ' Guide , which index only a few of the printing periodicals. The only indexes, however, which are devoted exclusively to printing either do not cover the field thoroughly or are incom- plete. These indexes are: (1) A Classified Index to the Printing Trade Periodicals which was published in England for only a fev/ years (around I932) and covered some of the British, American, French and German publications; (2) The Graphic Arts Index published by the United Typo the tae of America, which is not complete and indexes only certain leading articles in their owi specific collection. The index now in process of preparation by the project will include both American and foreign language publications, dating from 1800 through 1939 . It is a city-wide project; all of the printing and related arts periodic- als in the Chicago libraries and educational institutions are included. The principal li- braries to be covered are the Newberry 17 Library which has specialized in the art and history phases; the John Crerar Library which has specialized in periodicals covering the technical phases; the Chicago Public Li- brary, the University of Chicago Library, Northwestern University Library, the Illinois Institute of Technology Library and others. The project is sponsored by the Newberry Library. Index of Music Periodicals Nearly every professional field has been provided with an index to its own periodical literature. There is an Art Index , a Dramatic Index , an Index to Legal Periodicals , the Qoarterly Cumulative Index Medicus and others. The existing fragmentary indexes to music aagazines cover a very brief span of years and are so incomplete as to be inadequate for ordinary needs. Of these the most useful are the following; (1) Two Cermpiji periodicals attempted to carry something of an index in their numbers: the Zcitschrift dor Intornaticnalen Musikgesellschaft 1S99-1914 , and the Zcitschrift fur Musil^issenschaft 1 918- July 1933 . These indexes frequently listed authors only; they appear sd, for the most part, every other month and did not cumulate. They arc, therefore, unsatisfactory for ordinary uses, (2) In 1936 there appeared the 18 first voliime of the EilJlio- grap hi e des Mus x k g chr 1 x i, T-imi s , edited "by Eur t Taut and put)- lished by irXedrich Ilofmeister of Leipzig. This list is not sufficiently coraprehensive or inclu3ive to he of v;ide general assistance, and its arrangement is such as to hamper its useful- ness, (3) In the current indexes to general periodica.ls , nrjisic maga- zines are not well represented. The 5:5^- 3£3' 't^'^^^ 3-'--'^- ^^^ Sra- mati>:, rj}'J_6x, together, index only four mu^ic magazines; the Interixati.ona l Index , none. (h) A few foreign music jour- nals are indexed in foreign in- dexes of general periodicals, hut these do not have a wide distribution in American li- braries. The purpose of this project is to make available to the public an index to music periodicals for the period prior to that cov- er'^! oy Taut's Bioliugraphie. Tho inclusive datos are 1792-1935. that is, from the earli- est music r.'^.gazine available in the Chicago area to Taut '3 Bibliographie. The plpji of the Index to Music Periodic- als is ba-sad upon p report read 3fore the national convention of tho Kusic Libraries AsG.ciaticn in Kan^-: : City, J^one lU, 1938 , by the Commit'GBe on Periodical Indexing. This 19 report proposed the names of 175 unisic periodicals which were "believed "by that Com- mittee to he of siiJPficient importance to war- ant indexing. All hut 35 of these periodic- als are to he found in the Chicago area. The index includes American and European periodic- als in various languages, and certain Jahrhucher and Festschriften, It is hoped that the 35 periodicals not in the Chicago area C9Ji he borrowed from other libraries in order to make the index as nearly complete as possible,. Some effort at selection is being made with regard to the ty^e of article to be in- dexed. Especial emphasis is to be given to scholarly articles of use to the student, the historian and the musicologist. At the same time, articles of purely popular appeal are included for the layman. All leading articles and all signed articles are being indexed, as well as a.11 bibliographies, biographies and portraits, all first performances of composi- tions and all debuts of important artists. Book reviews and editorials of considerable length or importance are also indexed. Adver- tisements, short reviews, publishers' announce- ments and "chatter" are excluded. Author, subject and title entries are be- ing made on cards. The form of the author's name follows that used in the magazine unless the Library of Congress has designated a spe- cial form; subject headings are all given in English and follow the Library of Congress headings whenever possible; title cards are made only v/hen the title is especially sig- nificant, when the author is not known, etc. All titles of magazine articles axe given in . 20 the language of the original text, except when the text appears in a Isingaage which does not use the modern European alphabet. In such case the title is transliterated and the original follows in "brackets. Citations follow, when- ever possible, the form used by the H. V/, Wilson Company in the Readers ' Guide . Names of magazines follow the form used by Miss V/inifred Gregory in the Union List of Serials, The project is operating under the co- sponsorship and direction of the Newberry Li- brary through John T. Windle. The work of this project has been approved by a number of library groups. At the American Librar5'- Association Conference held in Cincinnati in May, 19^0, the Index of Music Pariodicnls was discussed with the chairman of the Serials Division of the A« L, A. and was ap- proved by that division. At a meeting of the Music Libraries Association (Miss Eva Judd O'MGara,. of Yale, presiding) held in conjunc- tion vdth the A. L, A. Conforonce, the index was diF.cu3s3d as to plan, scope, and possibility of publication. The plan met with full ap- proval of the group, -^Jid various methods of publication v/ere proposed. At ?. round table dibCiiGsion of Music Libraries, hold in Indianapolis June g, 15-'-0, presided over by Mi^s Ithol L;,Tnr,n of Indian?^ Univ .-rsity, the in- dex was discussed. The idea and the procedure met with the enthusiastic ap;:roval of the group, and the proposal to publish drew a favorable vote. Index to Portraits — Science ?-nd Industry This project is designed to compile an in- 21 dex of portraits of men and women in the field of science and industry. The scope of the work is confined to portraits found in books and periodicals for those major classes. The index is planned so that it may be supple- mented from time to time as additional ma- terial becomes available. This project at- ten^ts to supplement in part the A._L^, A. Por- trait Index published in 1906, The John Crerar Library is the co-sponsor of this proj- ect and Miss Ella Maude Salmonsen acts as li- brary consultant. Each book title indexed is assigned a symbol or abbreviation based on the Gutter table, v/hile the abbreviations and citations used for the periodicals follow the form of the H. Vf. WilsoQ publications. The index proper will be listed alphabetically by the established narae of the person with any neces- sary cross references. The information given includes dates of birth and death, a brief characterization of the person, as surgeon, architect, inventor, etc., volume and page where the portrait may be found. All entries for one person are cumulated on cs.rds but the finished product will be typed in page form so that L'ii me graphed copies may be availp,blo for distribution. The reference department of the John Crerar Library has already found the work of substantial value, having used it to check birth and death dates in its Union Catalogue of Medicine. H, Einar Mose, Reference Librarian at that institution, has found the index files of service in answering inquiries of library patrons. 22 BI3LI0GEAPHIES The following "bibliographies are now "be- ing compiled "by the project: Bibliography of the History of Printing Bi"bliography of Illinois Writers Bi'bliography of Foreign Lan- guage Newspapers and Peri- odicals Published in Chicago Bi'bliography'' of Mid-western Explorations and Settle- ments Bibliography of the History of Printing The purpose of this project is two-fold. Its primary function, as its name inrolies, is to prepare a comprehensive bibliography'" on the invention of printing and the history of the •'trinting industry. Since there is now available no adequate bibliographics-l guide to the literature pertaining to printing (the third largest industry in the United Stites), and since no new bibliography on the subject has been published v/ithin the last fifty yer^.rs, the need for such f. work is obvious. The last bibliography to appear was 3, C. Bir^-ore and C, W, H, VTyman, A Bibliography of rrintin^ -^ith ITotes, lSS0-18c6. 23 In addition to the coinprehensive bi'blio- graphy on the history of the entire industry, the project will prepare supplementary, se- lectivci bibliographies on various aspects of the invention of printing and various phases of the industry^, These will be published from time to time while the work on the large bibliography progresses. The second function of the project is to .make available essential source materials on the invention of printing and the history of the industry which are now inaccessible to most scholars, printers, librarians, educa- tors, editors and governmental agencies. This involves the trr>jiscribing and, in some instances, the translating of significant contributions to r3S0r?j'ch upon the subject, ScienuifiG research carried on during the last fev/ years has brought to light hitherto unknov/n facts pertaining to the invention of printing which have suppLanted many ideas formerly v/idely accepted; yet information re- garding these facts is practica.lly nort- exi stent in English, Research workers on the project examine the holdings of local libraries relating to the subject, and select all materials from published bibjiographies. Other v/orks not in the Chicago area are obtained through inter- library loans ani out-of-town libraries by the sponsor's representative, or supplied from his private library. It is the intention of this project to distribute the bibliographies, transcriptions and translations prepared by it to all im- portant libraries in the United States, so 2h that every center of research may have avail- able tools heretofore non-existent or to "be foimd only in a few libraries or private collections in this co-ontry or in Europe. All publications issued by the project will be lai me graphed, and will be bound and covered by its co-sponsor, the Chicago Club of Print- ing House Craftsmen through the collaboration of Douglas C. McMurtrie. Inas:iiuch as 19^0 marks the five-hundredth anniversary of the invention of printing, it is especially fitting that the work of the project be undertaken at this timej since its products are assrai-ed of a welcome reception in the fields of industry and research to which they pertain. Bibliography of Illinois Writers This project is compiling a bibliography of Illinois writers and authors dealing with every aspect of crBat?. 70. popular and schol- arly authorship. Ifaon finished the compila- tion will be cf value to all persons working in the learned professions, to students of literature and general academic subjects, and to the public in general. The project is making a list not only of the more generally known works, but also of the minor contribu- tions of Illinois authors. The project defines an Illinois author or writer as one who is or was a citizen of Illinois in a legal senses or, one v/ho v;as born or began his creative or sciantific authorship in that state; or, one who resided in Illinois d'uring his forma Live years and coniienced writing while still a resident of 25 that commonwealth, A person connected with an-academio institution is classified as an Illinois author if he is a citizen of that atate and has permanent tenure at his insti- tution. Located throughout Chicago are many ex- cellent and well equipped libraries. Each library selected for a project unit has not only the standard "bibliographical tools such as United States Catalog , Readers ' Guide to Periodical Literature , Poole' s Index to Periodical Literature , Cumulative Book Index and Book Review Digest , but also many other bibliographical sources. In addition to these, project workers consult local and state histories, files of learned associa- tions, professional journals, literary maga- zines indigenous to the state and any other sources that are germane. The bibliography when completed will be mimeographed and distributed v/idely. The project is sponsored by the Chicago Teacher's College, Bibliography of Foreign Language Nev/s- papcrs and Periodicals published in Chicago This project is compiling a bibliography of the foreign-language periodical publications v/hich have appeared in this city since ISyi, The bibliography is designed to furnish in- formation as to titles, dates v/hcn publica- tions started or were suspended, policies of each publication, names of publishers and editors, and the frequency of publication, A con^lote bibliography of foreign-lpjigu-age 26 periodical publications has never before been made for the city of Chicago, This project is attempting to fill that need and thus provide a useful tool for research. Bibliography of Mid-western Explorations and Settlements The general purpose of this project is to help preserve fugitive materials which are of great value in the perpetuation of the .Uierican tradition. The Midwest, par- ticularly that section which lies roughly north of the Ohio and Missouri Rivers, has been Iriistoricjally the great laboratory in which the ideals of the good life for the in- dep6.i^.ent freeholder have sought fulfillment, Tha • ohis at >:ainment has been only partial is bevciid diGi:ute. But the degree to which the sm-ii. fax me r-, the man in search of a plot of ground for himself and family, has been giver an opportunity to obtain it, the type of -ojlitical institutions he has established and maintained, the social life he has de- veloped and the economic problems he has met, can in the -:.ain be determined. A tradition can be a living force only v/hen large numbers of people know something of the adventurous spirit which gave it birth and of the cost in huTipji toil which has caused it to be per- petuated. Because the maintenance of a tradition is a vague objective, a careful definition is essential of the means by which it is to be dor::... This project will make accessible in a bibliography of pertinent periodical literature zhe star:' of the exploration and setTilement of the Midwest. Several good 27 "bitliographies of "books on this topic are already available, "but valuable professional studies, as well as illuminating contempo- rary accounts are now so buried in the dusty files of various serials that they are in- accessible to the ordinary researcher when time is limited. The material included in the biblio" graphy should be of great assistance to li- brarians, historians, sociologists, economists, political scientists, geographers and anthro- pologists. It will relate to early explora- tions of the twelve Midwestern states, Ohio, Indi^jia, Illinois, Wisconsin, Michigan, Minnesota, Iowa, Missouri, North Dakota, South Dakota, Nebraska and Kansas, to accounts of the natural forces with which the first set- tlers had to contend, to the first territorial governments set up in the prairies, to the family life of log cabin and sod house, to the efforts of the first settlers to subdue the soil to prairie farms, to transportation prob- lems, to land companies, to early banks, etc. properly used this bibliography should be of great aid to any student who wishes to evoke for his own use any part of the pioneer life of these states. The bibliography v/ill be compiled from the following types of sources: (1) M.aterials already listed in professional bibliographies, such as A. P. C. Griffin, Bibliography of American His- torical Societies ; Adelaide Hasse, Index of Economic Ma- terial in Documents of the 28 states of the United States ; Illinois 1809-1904. (2) Materials listed in popular "bibliographies, such as Poolers Index to Periodical Literature , 1802-1881. Headers ' Guide to Periodical Literature , 19OI to date , (3) Materials indexed but not listed in any bitiliography yet com- pleted as: The Prairie Farmer ; Index of the Congressional G-lobe & Record; Index of the Metropolitan Press of Chicago. (^) Materials in the possession of Chicago libraries which have nev3r been indexed or listed in any bibliography, as: Alton Spectator , numbers from I832-I838; Watchman of the Prairies - 18^7-1353. Since this bibliography is being pre- pared in Chicago, the emphasis will be upon material available to the Chicago student, and the bibliography cards will give the lo- cation at which the articles can be obtained. The customary Library of Congress symbols will be used for this purpose. As a large percentage of the articles included will be available in any good library, it is expected 29 that such a list of sources will he valuahle wherever an interest in the pioneer life of the Midwest is manifested. 30 CATALOGS The following catalogs are now in process of preparation or have been completed: Union Catalog of Art Union Catalog of Printed Ma- terials on the Negro Union Catalog of Law Books Union Catalog of Books on Economic Theory and History- Union Catalog of Jewish Literature Union Catalog of Rare Books Prior to ISOO Union Catalog of Greenland The method of procedure, the scope, form and publication of thsse union catalogs are similar. The materials included are from the holdirxgs of all libraries in the metropolitan area of Chicago, The initial or main listing is alphabetical by author entry, which in every case has been established for correct form by checking against the recognized bibliographical references in the fields, es- pecially in cases where the library catalogs are incomplete. Wherever variations in entries occur, the form used by the Library of Congress depository or union catalog is taken as authoritative. 31 All necessary cross references are made according to library rules. The library lo- cation symbols, designated by the L. C, union catalog are used. In this way, these union catalogs may be considered as a nucleus for a regional union catalog, thus anticipating a long time planning program for the Chicago area. In every case, the co-sponsors, in co- operation with the Chicago Public Library as the legal sponsor, have agreed to maintain the union catalogs upon completion of the pro- jects by the government and to arr^Jige for distribution to libraries and institutions de- siring same. The original card files will be placed in the Chicago Public Library or in the libraries of the co-sponsors if such arrange- ment is satisfactory to the public library, but in every case they will be available to the use of the public. Union Catalog of Art The aim of this project is to provide a tool for scholars in the field of art, and an aid to librarians, both in locating material needed for reference, and in avoiding expen- sive duplication of the holdings of nearby li- br.aries when ordering. To carry on this work, once the catalog has reached completion, as well as to advise in its preparation, the Carnegie Foundation has made a three-year grant for an art- trained person with library experience whose provinces will be (1) making decisions as to what material shall be included from li- braries whose collections are not v/holly de- 32 voted to art, (2) keeping the catalog up- to-date when the project has "been finished, and (3) "being in charge of its administra- tion and use. In its method of preparation, this catalog resembles the union art catalogs made for the Philadelphia Museum of Art in 1933" 35 1 and for the Enoch Pratt Free Library in Baltimore, In all three cases, the initial preparation was or is being done by WPA personnel. There is a difference, however, in scope. Whereas the Enoch Pratt Free Library catalog is complete for author, title and subject, and the Philadelphia Museum of Art catalog is a subject list, the Chicago cata- log is a list by main entry only. Periodic- als are not included, nor is any other ma- terial appearing in the Union List of Serials, Having been in operation only since August, 19^0, and being limited in personnel, the project has not yet e3cpanded to include work in any of the cooperating libraries out- side of the University of Chicago Art Li- bra.ry. As personnel increases, field units will be set up in these other librsxies where entries will be prepared before being sent back to headquarters for coordination and typ- ing. Sponsoring this project directly are the Chicago Art Institute through Miss Ethelred Abbott, Librarian, and the University of Chicago Art Library through Miss Bertha Wiles, Curptor, The cooperating libraries are the Chicago Art Institute Ryerson and Burnham Li- braries, Chicago Riclic Library, Newberry Li- brary, John Grerar Library and Harper, Art, 33 Classics and Oriental Libraries of the Uni- versity of Chicago. Professor Ulrich Mi'ddledorf of the University of Chicago rep- resents the sponsors. Union Catalog of Printed Ma- terials on the Negro This project evolved in answer to the need for a consolidated "body of references dealing with the Negro, The lack of such a body of reference material has been felt for many years and was partially fulfilled by the publication of various bibliographies, most of them hi^ly selective and some very unsatis- factory for practical use. The need for a consolidated referejKie to literature pertaining to the Negro was emphasized during the opera- tion of the research studies on the Negro ad- ministered by Horace R, Cayton and W, Lloyd Warner, when research assistants had diffi- culty locating diversified and pertinent sources on the Negro. The project, therefore, was designed to coinpile a union catalog of all types and forms of literature pertaining to the Negro in the United States, such as books, articles in periodicals, theses, other un- published material, reports, bulletins, etc. that could be examined through the facilities of the principal Chicago libr-^.ries. The second purpose of the project v;as the organization of the material in a form which was best suited for use by a wide section of the reading public. This involved annotating the material, breaking it down into suitable sub-headings and filing by library procedure. There were two main problems at the begin- 3'» ning •£ the project and which have "been in the process of solution for some time. The first was to iinearth the material buried in library stacks, uncataloged or stored he- cause of disuse. Much of this material, for instance, appeared in periodicals in articles to which no references are available in present library sources. Systematic search is bringing this material to light, and one of the consequences is that the file of rare material dating back to 16^9 is increasing. The second problem was the absence of an adequate subject heading list which could be employed in the organization of this ma- terial. It was nec>^ssary, therefore, to build a list of subject headings suitable for the cataloging of literature in all fields concern- ing ^,he Negio, using as a basis the list of the Libi-^^ry of OoiigrGss. This catalog devoted speoi fically about two and a half pages to the Negro, v/hich nadc it necessaiy to employ all the =iab;]ect headings and to apply them where suit'^.'Jle to the items gathered by field workers, ITew ?^\*.bj£ct headings wore devised to care for material for which the Librarjr of Congress list made no provision; as for example: Hacial attitudes - Racial characteristics. Mental - Racial characteristics, Physical - Racial differences. Mental - Racial differences. Physical - This empirical method has resulted in a 35 list of new subject headings which will con- stitute an excellent means of organizing the literature in the field. Revision and ex- tension of these subject-headings and their sub-classes and cross references will result in a dictionary catalog of subject headings which will resemble the publication of the Library of Coi^ross and will be useful in all libraries as a finding list and method of organizing and cataloging material on the Negro. Periodical literature is also filed under the name of the periodical in which it appears. This has proved a distinct asset in majiy ways. It makes it possible to guage at a glance the extent to which the Negro question has been treated by editors of periodicals, the aspect of the Negro question to which the periodical has adhered (biased or unbiased), the great variety of periodicals, popular, specialized and technical, which have included articles on the Negro, and the space of years over which the Negro has been considered a topic for dis- cussion. The information made available by the pro- ject will be put to various uses according to the need of the reader. It is apparent from requests that have been received for information that these needs are widespread. It is our aim to complete about fifty thousand references from which to fill the diverse requests for ma- terial. The card file will bo placed in a center where it will be available to the public. For the convenience of persons desiring reading guides, selective annotated bibliographies will 36 "be prepared and distri"buted as widely as possible. Union Catalog of Law Books A Union Catalog of Law Books for Chicago has long "been the dream of law lihrarians. In the various libraries in the Chicago area, there is, perhaps, a total of more than a half million "books on law and related su1>- jects. The estimated niimher of volumes in each of the fcui- principal law libraries in the city is as follows: Northwestern University Law School 112,255 University of Chicago Law School 102,366 Chicago Lav/ Institute 93*00^ Chicago Bar Association yOfOOO Author entries were typed from the Northwestern luriversity Lav: School Library dictionary catalogr. These master slips were sent to each s-jcceeding unit for checking with the records at those librp.ries. Since the Bar Association fijid Institute Holdings were not adequately nor coiqjletely recorded, an author card had bo be made for these li- braries firsoo Each slip w^^s marked with the library location symbols. Each entry was established by checking v/ith the Library of Congress Depository or Union Catalogs Those not included in the L, of C. have been cor- rectly cataloged by a trained librarian who is also a lawyer, and who has bec-n smployod by the Chicago Law Institute and the Chicago 37 Per cent 17.12 2.0U 5.63 3.21 Bar Association to maintain and service the catalog. It is interesting to note that of the Ul,000 entries in the author catalog, unique items appear as follows: Entries m 7,018 U of C 837 CLI 2,310 CEA. 1,317 Of special interest to the Litrary of Congress is the fact that there are approxi- mately 13,62^ entries not in the national li- brary, This is equal to almost 30 per cent of all the entries cataloged. These will "be sent to Washington for inclusion in the Li- brary of Congress Union Catalog in the near future. The Union Catalog as completed con- tains 60,000 cards which includes cross ref- erences and secondary entries deemed advisable. The legal profession, perhaps more than any other, is dependent upon catalogs, indexes, bibliographies and all possible methods of locating and classifying law subjects and books. It has been said, with some truth, that lawyers do not know much more law than other people, but know better where to find it. However, find it they must, and the Union Catalog is one of the important means to that end. But, it is to the law librarians that the Union Catalog is of most interest and inrportance. It enables them to serve more 38 effectively the members and users of the li- "brary. It enahles them to determine what "books to buy. Cooperating with other li- brarians in acquiring new books, they can pre- vent needless duplication. All new accessions received by the four contributing libraries are sent each month to the Union Catalog li- brarian for inclusion. At the urgent request of the sponsors, a subject catalog is being compiled, A basic list of subject headings for law libraries has been made and the usual coordination of headings and cross references is in process and is being directed by the law librarian. The original Union Catalog is housed at the Chicago Law Institute, IIS North Clark Street, Room 1025. Duplicates either of typewritten cards or on microfilm will be lo- cated at other libraries. Copies of the cata- log have boen requested by many libraries, among which are the following: University of California Yale Law School Library Duke University American Association of Law Libraries (L, VT, Morse) Law School ©f Harvard University Library of Congress Law Library University of Washington Law Library Los Angeles County Law Library University of Chicago Law School United States Department of 39 Justice Library University cf Minneseta Law School University of Illinois Law School University of Michigan Law School Union Catalog of Books on Economic Theory and History Numerous catalogs have "been compiled in the social sciences, including economics. The generality rf scope, however, has in most instances minimized their usefulness for re- search workers seeking information on par- ticular aspects of the field. In order to prepare a comprehensive catalog that will he of greater assistance to researchers, this project interprets the term "theory" in the strict sense of the term as treatises on economic doctrine. The term "economic his- tory" is limited to hooks and other documents concerning the United States from 1789 to I9U0 "by American, English, Prench and German authors. Thus the project deals primarily with Eoialysis and rigid classification of available material, rather than with synthesis of all materials bearing any relationship to economic theory and history. Information for the catalog is taken from shelf lists and catalogs of the libraries included in the study. Special attention is given to those phases of economics covered in the Dewey classification system by the number 330 and its subdivisions, especially 330,1 and ho 330* 9. and classified in the Library of Con- gress system with the letters HB-HJ. In li- braries using other systems, subject headings in their catalogs are used as a guide for the selection of books. The project operates in the public libraries of Chicago, Northwestern University Library, University of Chicago Li- brary and in private libraries specializing in the field of economics. To facilitate util- ization of the catalog, "economic history" is classified chronologically iinder subject head- ings and by author within periods. "Theory" entries are filed first by subject and then by author under each subject. Annotations, in- cluding a brief sketch of the author's life and background, are made for the more im- portant books. It is hoped that this exhaustive study of materials available in libraries of the Chicago metropolitan area will constitute a basis for further research in the field, with a comprehensive union catalog of all economic literature as the ultimate objective. The catalog now being prepared by the project will aid in developing the services of the Chicago Public Library, assist libraries in planning future selective buying, be of value for ref- erence use in inter-library loans and of great benefit to economists, the general public, scholars and others interested in economic planning. Union Catalog of Jewish Literature L?his catalog will be compiled from the holdings of the following libraries; College hi of Jewish Studies Li"brary; Emil G. Hirsch Reference Library; Hebrew Theological College Library; Jewish Peoples Institute; John Crerar Library; University of Chicago Li- brary; Newberry Library; Chicago Public Library; Northwestern University Library; Garrett Bib- lical Institute Library; and other theological libraries in the Chicago area. The term Jewish literature is interpreted to mean books in all langujages dealing with every form of Judaism from the Biblical period to date. Subject matter rather than Jev/ish authorship has been the basis for selection. For example, it includes books by Jews which have no reference to Jewish life and thought, as well as books by non-Jews which are Judaica by virtue of their content. It in- cludes all books written originally in Hebrew or Yiddish reflecting Jewish culture. It does not include books dealing with the Bible from the standpoint of Christian theology, as for example, editions of the Bible by Christian theologians, systems of theology based upon the Bible, and Christian commen- taries on the Bible, Author main-entry cards are copied from the shelf lists and dictionary catalogs of the cooperating libraries. Where incomplete or uncataloged material is located, the pro- per entry is established by chocking with recognized bibliographical works. Symbols designating the location of the holding are stamped in red on each card. While the Union Catalog of Jewish litora- k2 ture will be permanently located at the College of Jewish Studies Library, typewritten or microfilm copies will he available at other libraries. Union Catalog of Rare Books before IgOO The libraries in the Chicago area contain an unusual number of sixteenth century books and other English imprints, as well as scien- tific and historical material relating to early Americana. A union catalog of this material was recommended and originally planned by Dr. A. F. Kuhlman and Dr. Pierce Butler. The pro- ject was begun in I935 and sections of it are now nearing completion. The work was divided into three sections as follows: (a) All materials printed in America before 1800, to be known as Americana . (b) All materials printed in England before IJOO, to be known as Early English Books . (c) All materials printed or published before l601, regard- less of language, other than those which might be included in the other two groups; this to be known as Sixteenth Century Books . The entries in each group v/ere checked with standard bibliographies covsring the period, such as Pollard and ?.sdgrn.ve, Darlow and Moule, and McAlpin. Sabin and Evans were ^3 used for checking the American imprints. The name and seri?,l number of the items found in the "bibliographies were placed on the card. "Printers lists'^ have been typed in order that mimeographed copies may be available for distribution to libraries and other institu- tions. Tabulation for the entire work is yet incomplete. From a total of 1,01^ items in- cluded in the Americana list, the following libraries contain items which do not appear elsewhere in the Chicago area: Libraries No. of items Newberry Library ^80 University of Chacago 3^9 John Crerar Library 28 Northwestern Medical Library 10 American College of Surgeons 3 Chicago Public Library ^ Union Catalog of Literature on Greenland The purpose of this ca.talog was to list all matsrial on G-reenland available in books and periodicals having an American imprint and located in the major Chicago libraries. In compiling the catalog, systematic use was made of card catalogs of the libraries and of all bibliographical and periodical indexes, such as Pooled s Index , Readers ' Guide, United States Cat -log and its su7ple- m ments, the government catalogs, special in-- dexes to magazines and Nickles' Biblio- graphy of North America . A major portion of the material was contained in reports of ex- plorations subsidized and publicized by scientific and learned societies, A list of Arctic explorers was kept concurrently to aid in the search. All available works deal- ing with the Arctic regions were examined and only those were included which contained a chapter or some other substantial reference to Greenland, The catalog was divided Into two sections: (1) books and analytics; (2) magazine arti- cles, each arranged alphabetically with the library location symbols following each entry, Dr, J, Christian Bay wrote the preface and the work was issued as Reference List, No, ^5 o^ the John Crerar Library, ^5 CHICAGO PUBLIC LIBEARY OMIBUS PROJECT Project Supervisor Dr. Alex Ladenson Project Technician Claire B.
