Item Guide to the Western Historical Manuscripts Collection(1956) Galloway, John A.This issue of the Guide to the Western Historical Manuscripts Collection supplements the previous Guide, published in 1952. It includes the acquisitions of the Collection since 1951, and combined with the earlier publication, constitutes a complete listing of the holdings of the Collection as of July l, 1956. John A. Galloway, for two years a staff member, now of the History Department at Arkansas State College, did the necessary research for the present bulletin, and prepared the manuscript. The manuscript was typed and the index prepared by Mrs. Jane R. Barry, of the staff of the Manuscripts Collection. The considerable growth of the Collection during the thirteen years of its existence has been facilitated greatly by the unremitting (and unremitted) efforts of friends of historical research and of the University of Missouri, some of them professional historians, but more of them just interested citizens. We are grateful. Sincerely, James N. Primm, Director.--Page 3.Item Guide to the Western Historical Manuscripts Collection(1952)Under the direction of Doctor W. Francis English, the Western Historical Manuscripts Collection was established at the University of Missouri on January 1, 1943. This was' made possible by grants from the Humanities Division of the Rockefeller Foundation and the University of Missouri. From the beginning the primary objective of the project has been the collection of letters, diaries, business papers, memoirs, religious and educational records and other types of original manuscript material pertaining to the historical development of Missouri, the Mississippi Valley, and the West. ... The present bulletin, which is bulletin number six of the Western Historical Manuscripts Collection, is being issued as a University Bulletin of the library series. While it is in a sense a revision of the previous bulletin, it is hoped that the addition of an index and more complete descriptions of the various collections will make it of more value to researchers and other interested persons.--Foreword.Item William Benjamin Smith, Ph.
