Many offers have llarged by former 'U' President been made for the book by owners of private collections, but the Uni- versity has refused to sell it. DAK Y Contains Many Items diaries and account books are the most interesting or most used be- cause of the wide variety of items housed in the Collections. One highlight of the collections is an 1802 customs book which, gives the names of the captains' and their ships which sailed around Mackinac Island in that year and it also lists the ships' cargoes which consisted mainly of liquor and playing cards. Contains Inventory Some of the University's docu- ments which are located in Rack- ham are registrar's records from the 1860's through part of the 1940's. These records are closed to the public except when special per- mission is granted as in the case to authors doing biographies on someone who is a University alum- nus for information on the per- son's University career. The present exhibit at Rackham includes such items of interest asC an 1863 auction inventory of former U President Archibald Tap- pan's household goods. Various paintings of the campus done inI the years 1855 to 1870 are also on display. The first city directory of Detroit made in 1837. the diary of a U undergraduate of 1870, and a handwritten newspaper of 18461 with a handpainted picture of Fort Wilkins are a few of the journals of historical interest on view now. There are 112 collections of Civil War papers owned by the Collections. These consist mainly of letters written by the soldiers themselves and by their families. There are very few manuscripts by nationally known personalities in this collection, as is true throughout the library, because1 the content of the papers is what NO 5-5705 is of primary importance regard- less of author. Many of Michigan's present day large industries, such as mining, lumber, and automobile, have do- nated their early records to be housed at Rackham because they are of a valuable nature to anyone doing research on Michigan of a century ago. The Historical Collections are' supported by the University in- dependently from the University Library. Most of the material in the collections are acquired through donations and the aid of alumni of the University. The Collections are used by peo- ple from all over the State in writ- ing articles of historical signifi- cance. Other institutions use the facilities of this library as do many graduate students and professors at the University. COMPARE SIZE! Most of All Compare QUALITY!
