Museum of the American Indian Publications Online


[Home]  [updated 8/31/14]

Monographs in Museum of the American Indian's Indian Notes and Monographs series have long been available online, but they have been very poorly cataloged, which can make individual issues very difficult to find using simple searches. Here we present a complete list of Indian Notes and Monographs in numerical order, with titles and authors, to make them more easily accessible. Most of the links point to items posted on the Internet Archive (IA). Titles that cannot be found at the Internet Archive are linked at either Google Books (GB) or Hathi Trust (HT).

The monographs are presented in two categories:

Titles published under the rubric of Indian Notes and Monographs were issued in two different series with overlapping numbers -- a source of persistent bibliographic confusion. One series has titles that were assigned to volumes, with individual numbers within these volumes. A second, concurrent series, called "Miscellaneous," had titles which were simply given numbers. The confusion is caused by the fact that monographs in the Miscellaneous series are not labeled as such on their title page, which means that this crucial distinction is often missed in citing or cataloging the work. Thus, for example, a work cited as "Indian Notes and Monographs 12" could be either volume 12 in the first series, or number 12 in the second. The complete list of titles below can be used to help resolve such problems. Note that the first series ends at volume 12, while the second ends at number 59. (Number 60 in the Miscellanous series was announced and appears in the museum's last list of publications as being "in print," but I see no evidence that it was ever published.)

Another persistent problem with archived online publications, particularly serials, is that a book is often identified only by the information on the first title page, even when multiple monographs in the same series are bound together. In other words, all the titles that follow the first are completely missed in the metadata, making them impossible to find in a conventional keyword search. This problem occurs all too frequently in the Internet Archive, and specifically with the publications compiled here. In such cases, two links are provided. The first, marked with the suffix "(d)," links directly to the first page of the title in question, which occurs in the middle of the scanned volume. The second link, marked with the suffix "(f)," goes directly to the metadata page for the book, which does not mention the relevant title but does provide access to PDF and plain-text versions of the work.

The descriptions below are adapted from Indian Notes and Monographs, Miscellaneous, No. 49, 17th edition, 1975.
