GUIDE TO CATHOLIC RECORDS ABOUT NATIVE AMERICANS IN THE UNITED STATES
Guide to Catholic Records about Native Americans in the United States
Revised, 2017-2020; 1,100 guide entries, 5 volumes. Through repository-based entries, ÃÛÌÒÓ°Ïñ's Native Guide provides referrals to records at other repositories and extensive illumination of its Native America collections. The guide entries include contact information and brief descriptions of each repository's targeted records, and for the Catholic organizations, chronologies are included that identify their past involvement with numerous Native American and Catholic groups (e.g. dioceses, priests, women religious). The chronologies, some of which are extensive, provide essential pathways for identifying and navigating diverse topics within the Native America collections, e.g. Bureau of Catholic Indian Missions Records.
