This is a comprehensive guide to the works published between 1621 and 1760 in the British Isles and relating to North America. It includes over 3500 listings of books, pamphlets, tracts, garlands and broadsides. Entries are cross-referenced to existing bibliographic guides, and selected British and American library locations are given. Entries are annotated where necessary and a full author and title index is included. The guide contains entries for many rare or little-known items, several of which are depicted. This reference is intended for scholars of early-American history, for rare-book librarians and for bibliographers working with historical material.

This work provides access to information on the rich and often little known legacy of anthropological scholarship preserved in a diversity of archives, libraries and museums. Selected anthropological manuscripts, papers, fieldnotes, site reports, photographs and sound recordings in more than 150 repositories are described. Coverage of resources in North American repositories is extensive while Great Britain, France, the Netherlands, Australia and certain other countries are more selectively represented. Entries are arranged by repository location and most contributors draw upon a special knowledge of the resources described. Contributors include James R. Glenn (National Anthropological Archives), Elizabeth Edwards and Veronica Lawrence (Pitt Rivers Museum, University of Oxford), Francisco Demetrio, S.J. (Museum and Archives, Xavier University, Philippines) and many others. The guide covers selected documentation in social and cultural anthropology, physical anthropology, archaeology and folklore. Some major area studies collections (such as the Asia Collections, Cornell University Libraries, and the Melanesian Archive at the University of California, San Diego) are also represented.
