Indian Records and Information

One of the largest problems in trying to create an index for finding information easily and how to break down large collections that are located in libraries, archives, and historical societies. I have tried to tackle this problem so that items can be found by several ways. I know that I have probably not thought of everything but I have used the method that I use when I am doing research in Native American Records. I have broken this down into the the following: Tribe; People; Places; Battles; Expeditions; Military; Books, Essays, and Articles; Miscellaneous Records; Maps; and finally at the end I have listed libraries, archives, and historical societies so you can if you wish look at all of their holdings as a group.

If you find a record that you see under one of the listings you will need to follow the link to the page that record is located on and then go to the top of the page to determine where that record can be found. I have tried to keep all records that are in one place on the same page with details of how to acquire information for that record from the location where it is housed.
