Yita 111im m,rtu,rum in mtmoria viwrum ,11 p,tita. _;, Citm. COMPILED BY HOWARD JAMES BANKER. 1909. THE TUTTLE COllP~\NY PRINTERS BUTLAND, VERMONT PREFACE. The production of this work has been of the nature of a pro cess of evolution, which the writer has found necessary to bring to an abrupt close in the interest.a of self-preservation. When but a boy of flfte~n he became interested in inquiring about his ancestors concerning whom he was able to learn very little from his immediate relatives. This only intensified his curiosity to find out something about them. He at length happened on an old family Bible• that greatly stimulated his interest' and incited him to collect the family records. For years this was a mere pastime and the material accumulated slowly with no thought of its ever being published. About 1899 he stumbled upon the Records of the Dutch Reformed Church of Sleepy Hollow near Tarrytown and to his amazement found this a per.feet mine of information respecting his family.

BECK Rutgers University Libraries Rutgers, the State University of New Jersey New Brunswick, New Jersey, REVOLUTIONARY WAR MANUSCRIPTS IN SPECIAL COLLECTIONS AND ARCHIVES, RUTGERS UNIVERSITY LIBRARIES BY CLARK L. BECK Rutgers University Libraries Rutgers, the State University of New Jersey New Brunswick, New Jersey. INTRODUCTION This list enumerates some 300 individual collections maintained by Special Collections and Archives--single pieces, groups whose entire focus is on the Revolution, and those whose Revolutionary contents form part of a larger body of papers. Although there is material representing all thirteen colonies and Great Britain, the emphasis is on New Jersey. A descriptive guide to individual collections or relevant portions thereof, this is not an index to every item of Revolutionary significance in Special Collections and Archives. Its purpose is to assist the researcher in determining the scope of material available, as well as in assessing its content. Arranged alphabetically by main entry, each item, collection or partial collection is described briefly, and its inclusive dates, place(s) or authorship and physical bulk are noted. Where an entry involves a number of correspondents, the more prevalent or illustrious of them are noted. Certain criteria have been employed in selecting manuscripts for inclusion in this guide. In order to qualify, a piece or collection has to bear some military, political, social or economic aspect of the conflict. Routine legal documents of war date or personal letters with no relevance to the Revolutionary situation have been excluded. Clark L.

A Bibliography of Loyalist Source Material in the United States Parti
A Bibliography of Loyalist Source Material in the United States Parti Edited by HERBERT LEVENTHAL and JAMES E. MOONEY PROGRAM FOR LOYALIST STUDIES AND PUBLICATIONS Sponsored by tbe American Antiquarian Society City University of J^ew Tork University of London and University ofJVew Brunswick ROBERT A. EAST, Executive Director IN recent volumes of the Proceedings of the American Anti- quarian Society installments of material of the Program for Loyalist Studies and Publications have appeared. This pres- ent installment follows the Canadian Bibliography in Volume 82, the Loyalist Newspapers in Volume 83, and the Loyalist Imprints Printed in America in Volume 84. It is modeled upon the Canadian example except that in Canada the re- search for the finding guide was done admirably by one per- son working full-time for a period. In the United States the research for the finding guide was done by a number of schol- ars, most of whom hold doctorates in American Revolution- ary history, but they were working part-time. This difference has led to variety in the coverage given each state contained in this first part ofthe finding guide (covering the eastern states geographically from north to south, through Mary- 73 74 American Antiquarian Society land), but the editors, Herbert Leventhal and James E. Mooney, have imposed upon that difference the sameness of the format as much as it allows. At the start ofthe listing of sources in each state or district the name of the compiler is entered and the credit is not given again in that section. In the case of joint compilers the same obtains with no separate credit given.
