B. J. M. SCHUMERHORN (Jacob M. SCHERMERHORN) papers, 1831-44, 100 pieces. Photostatic copies of letters to his fiancee, later his wife, regarding business conditions, his trip to the South and the mode of travel, his affiliation with the Brick Church of Roches- ter, and other personal affairs.
At present, these manuscripts are kept together with the more extensive holdings of the Rochester Historical Society (soc entry for this institution). In all, some 86 volumes and approximately 35 cubic feet plus ll linear feet of manuscripts are housed in the library, besides some unsorted material. In time practically all the manuscripts will have to be recatalogued. In most cases arrangement has consisted simply of numbering and listing items in a collection without regard to subject grouping or to chrono- logy. A few manuscripts have been fully catalogued, with author, title, and subject entries. A large number of the manuscripts have been card indexed; this index is difficult to use, since head- ings are not consistent and are not sufficiently broad to group the materials undor largo subjects. Little cross-reference in- formation is given. Inventory lists in some cases provide an analysis of the content and in others give only author, typo, and date. Manuscripts are available only to properly accredited ro- scarchers. Photostatic copies may be obtained through H. H. SULLIVAN, Inc., of Rochester, at their regular prices. Groups of manuscripts later may be photographed by the library on film for use in the Recordak.
