A significant contribution to research in American history,
William S. Ewing's Guide to the Manuscript Collections in the
William L. Clements Library (Clements Library, Ann Arbor,
1953), encompasses much of the data included in Howard H.
Peckham's calendar published in 1942 and detailed descriptions
of subsequent additions. Ewing's compilation employs the tenta-
tive style prepared by the Library of Congress for the cataloguing
of manuscript collections; each of the 304 collections in the Manu-
script Division is alphabetized under the name of the person or
group it primarily concerns, or under the name of the collector,
followed by concise statements of the kinds of documents included,
the shelf space occupied, brief biographical notes on the principal
subjects, the source of the collection, and listings of the names
of writers of letters and authors and signers of documents. The
body of Ewing's Guide is followed by a comprehensive index of
the papers in the Manuscripts Division which will be an indis-
pensable research aid to persons using the facilities of the Clements
Library.
