GUIDE TO CATHOLIC RECORDS ABOUT NATIVE AMERICANS IN THE U.S.
Volume 5: Help Pages
Acknowledgements

The Native Guide represents outstanding professional cooperation with the survey projects of the ÃÛÌÒÓ°Ïñ Special Collections and University Archives. We, the archivists of ÃÛÌÒÓ°Ïñ extend our gratitude to all of the many archivists, curators, and librarians who assisted us by their participation. Their receptiveness to inquiries and willingness to provide information and allow on-site inspection of the collections in their custody made these guides possible and truly products of their efforts as well as ours. We also extend special thanks to the following whose encouragement and guidance contributed immensely to the ongoing success of these survey projects.
