RESEARCH
VISIT TO THE W. L. CLEMENTS LIBRARY
(UNIVERSITY OF MICHIGAN (ANN ARBOUR),
SEPTEMBER 20, 2002 ~ CONTENT REPORT

September 21, 2002
I met with Janet Bloom (Assistant Archivist), Brian Leigh Dunnigan
(Curator of Maps), and John C. Harriman (Reading Room
Supervisor, Assistant Editor). I informed them that I was not interested
at this moment with anything readily available on their excellent Web
Site (http://www.clements.umich.edu/clempage.html),
with maps and plans, or with published material because of the short
nature of this visit. I stressed that I was looking for Louisbourg and
related (i.e. 18th-century construction techniques, etc.) manuscripts
acquired since Louisbourg staff last visited or wrote to them. While
they were not aware of any specific examples, they assured me that their
acquisition programme was still active (indeed they recently acquired a
published German map of Louisbourg, a copy of which we may
already have).
If Louisbourg should wish copies of anything, they should write to Dr.
John Dann, Director, W.L. Clements Library.
At any rate, I concentrated on two things; their manual card catalogue
system, and on the paper inventory of the Thomas Gage Papers. Their
multiple card catalogue system quickly revealed to me that most of what
was described there we no doubt already had [see NOTE at the end of this
report], and their Thomas Gage papers appeared to reflect
what we have on microfilm in the archives. However, since I do not
recall that we have a finding aid to the Gage Papers, I made some select
notes which may prove beneficial. At the very least, they will act as a
supplementary finding aid if indeed one already exists at Louisbourg.
Not all my notes provide a clear line to Louisbourg, and no doubt not
all will all actually lead to Louisbourg upon investigation, but,
nevertheless, I provide them for what they may be worth:
