1. General Index "Fifty-year indexes"

[Van Pelt Library Reference Stacks: J301 .K6 Index]

These cover three time periods: 1801-1852, 1852-1899, 1900-1949

It is essential to be extremely persistent and creative when using these subject indexes, especially with the one covering 1852-1899, since in many cases a document is listed only once. Each type of paper has its own section. For each entry the form of citation is standardized:

session--paper no.--vol. no. in that session--first page no. e.g.: 1908 (85) cxvi 311

If the paper is a command paper it will be indicated by an abbreviation forming part of the word "command" such as Cd.--e.g. Cmmd. 8168. An index by command paper number is:

The alphabetic list of subject terms is in vol. 5. The citation format follows the system of the "fifty year indexes." (see above)
