to the final stages of getting the manuscript ready for the press.
The work is based on the files of leading California periodicals,
other than the newspapers, together with rare items in magazines
that are less well known. Over 3000 items have thus far ,een
accumulated. They are arranged alphabetically by authors'
names. Each entry has full technical inf-ormation About the
article in question and an indication of the content and point of
view of the article, supplementing the title. There is also a. peri-
odical index and a subject index. It is expected that this will
prove to be a useful aid, not only to students of history, but also
to the public at large.
B. Source materials.
Many of the works. included in section I) might have been
placed here since they are more properly materials for history,
according to the point of view of the present-day student, than
histories in themselves. It has seemed better, however, to narrow
section B to include only such published documentary materials
as did not originally contemplate being classed as "books." A
list to suit the needs, of specialists would reach enormous propor-
tions, including such items as law reports and state documents
generally, while even the works of historical scholars are not few
in number. The volumes mentioned below are merely represent-
ative. A number of others of excellent calibre might easily be
added.
a. Continuing sets.
The three items referred to here still continue publication;
the inclusive dates indicate merely the issue of the earliest and
latest volumes of the series.
1. Historical society of southern California, Publications. 10 v.
Los Angeles. 1884-1917. Separate parts, usually entitled
Annual publication, are issued, and when enough of these
accumulate to provide sufficient bulk a volume is brought
out. Ordinarily there a.re three parts to a. volume, though
some have more and others less. There have been minor
variations in title.
This valuable set is devoted primarily to the California pioneers,
but also contains a wide variety of materials, most of them articles
having a, bearing on the local history of southern California, rang-
ing in kind from the somewhat unscientific to the best type of320
