The historical collections of the Rosenberg Library are a veritable
treasure, undoubtedly the most important in the State except
those at Austin. With the co-operation of public spirited citizens
of Galveston they will increase. Even now no serious study of the
commercial history of the State could be attempted without the
use of these materials. The manuscripts and articles in the exhibi-
tion are interestingly and ably described by Mr. J. M. Winter-
botham in a typewritten pamphlet of more than a hundred pages,
but as yet the inadequate force of the library has been unable to
calendar or even list the general manuscript collections.
