Elkus Indian Papers Catalog
California Academy of Sciences Library Special Collections

The Catalog contains entries for 3,360 documents found in the Elkus Papers Collection. Each record lists the document ID number, document type, and date, along with the box and folder number (indicating the location of the document in Special Collections), followed by the document's author, affiliation, and recipient (where applicable or known--not all records have affiliation and recipient information, and a few are missing information in other fields). Each record concludes with a document summary and a list of subjects for that document.
