Correspondence
The collection consists of three folders of correspondence concerning Saville's expeditions in Mexico between 1896 and 1904. The material is a mix of handwritten and typewritten letters (many carbon copies), telegrams and lists of equipment and costs. The subjects are primarily practical, concerning the planning of the expeditions and the shipping of artifacts, including negotiations over payment and legal questions about exporting. A few letters by Saville describe interesting finds, such as a 1901 letter to F.W. Putnam containing a sketch of cruciform underground galleries in Mitla. Other correspondents include Leopoldo Batres, Francisco Belmar, J.F. Loubat and Clark Wissler.

The Last Turtlemen of the Caribbean
Illuminating the entangled histories of the people and commodities that circulated across the Atlantic, Sharika D. Crawford assesses the Caribbean as a waterscape where imperial and national governments vied to control the profitability of the sea. Crawford places the green and hawksbill sea turtles and the Caymanian turtlemen who hunted them at the center of this waterscape. The story of the humble turtle and its hunter, she argues, came to play a significant role in shaping the maritime boundaries of the modern Caribbean. Crawford describes the colonial Caribbean as an Atlantic commons where all could compete to control the region’s diverse peoples, lands, and waters and exploit the regi...
A Supplement to A Guide to Manuscripts Relating to the American Indian in the Library of the American Philosophical Society
A supplement to "A Guide to Manuscripts Relating to the American Indian in the Library of the APS," published by the Society in 1966. In only a dozen years since the pub. of the "Guide," substantial additions to the collection reached the point where a revision or supplement to the "Guide" was desirable and even necessary. For this purpose the Library was fortunate to obtain the services of Daythal Kendall, then a graduate student in the University of Pennsylvania, whose own research on the language of the Takelma Indians eminently qualified him for the undertaking. As he states in his introduction, Dr. Kendall has not only followed the format of the predecessor vol., but has introduced into his own text cross references to the "Guide."
