Ohio Valley-Great Lakes Ethnohistory Archive Finder's Guide
Tribal History Documents Collection

The Tribal History Documents Collection is comprised of 807 notebooks (8" x 12") containing key documents pertaining to Indian/White relations for 16 tribal groups in the Ohio Valley-Great Lakes region. The information placed in the notebooks was transcribed or copied from published material, microfilm, and other sources. Each included item is noted in the project bibliography and is recorded in the microfilm or transcribed document indices. The notebooks are organized by the common tribal designation and, then, chronologically. The collection was continuously updated and it is one of the most comprehensive assemblages of ethnographic/ethnohistoric data in existence.
