JAMES B. FORD LIBRARY

Physical Equipment:  Stacks have been installed in the basement, with shelving sufficient to accommodate the library for ten years at the present rate of growth.  A study room has been made out of the first store room, at the suggestion of Professor Saville, where it is proposed to place Mexican codices, Mexican language books and large folios.  The second store room is designed to be a map room.  The third is a work room and a storage room for duplicates.  The fourth is a general store room for library supplies.  The fifth contains the reserve stock of publications and the archives.

Progress in shelving books:  The periodicals, both old and new, have been placed on the shelves in geographical sequence.  The new accessions have all been plated and stamped.  The classifications number for each series has been affixed.

The Mexican language books have been classified and placed on temporary shelves in the first room.
