UCLA American Indian Studies Center Library (AISCL)

UCLA: http://www.sscnet.ucla.edu/indian/lib/aiscLibrary.htm

For Los Angeles area students, this is a small but rich library of historical and contemporary materials. Unfortunately, a glitch in the university’s current OPAC makes it impossible to limit searches to the AISCL, but this should be resolved soon. For now, one must use the card catalog onsite, and it is a non-circulating library. Of special interest is access to an online database Bibliography of Native North America, not found many places. Also rare is the collection’s Hopi and Zuni katsina reference index. A 40-foot vertical file contains, among other riches, an extensive collection of bibliographies.

CALIFORNIA

Bancroft Library

UCB

The Bancroft Library holds many unique collections concerning Native American history. Undoubtedly, most valuable here is the collection of vocabulary lists for 75 Native California languages, compiled by C. Hart Merriam. These have been critically important in language revitalization efforts. To locate the lists, search “C. Hart Merriam” in the Online Archive of California (listed below), and look for the links to “vocabularies” in Volume 1 of the Merriam papers. Other Bancroft collections of special interest to Native American researchers include the Honeyman, R.H. Lowie, A.L. Kroeber, Coronel, Samuel Barrett, J.W. Powell, and Philip Stedman Sparkman collections. Land case maps, dating from the 1500s, are used to determine California land claims. For these, search the OPAC by place name. Oral histories are also a trove of the Bancroft—search Pathfinder/Gladis for Indians North American oral history as subject keywords and limit to the Bancroft library.
