Index to Documentary Journal of Indiana to 1899. Indianapolis: Wm. B. Burford, Contractor for State Printing and Binding. 1900. Page 293-326.
PREFACEAny government publication that contains the official reports of the departments and institutions of that government must sooner or later come to be most valuable and much sought after by those persons interested in the development of institutional life, for it contains all that is permanent in the records of the several departments and institutions of the government and the material from which much of the essential history must later be written. These publications are known under many different names in the several States of our country, and in our own State are named the Documentary Journal. In Indiana there is rapidly growing an interest in the printed documents of the State. This interest, at first largely official, is becoming popular, and there is growing demand that these documents be accessible. Unfortunately, the volumes themselves have not been provided with either a volume or a general index, and many volumes are lacking correct table of contacts. It seems desirable, therefore, that the State Library provide such an index as will reveal and make accessible the several reports contained in these volumes. We print the index with the hope that it may be valuable to any person or library possessing all or a part of the Documentary Journals by rendering valuable many reports usually esteemed valueless.
The Documentary Journal first appeared in 1835. Previous to that time not many reports were printed, or if printed have not been preserved; but such as were printed and preserved were published in the Senate or House Journal. These are referred to in this index.
For our purposes it has been found necessary to number the reports of each year consecutively as they appear in the bound volume, even though it may in certain instances violate the printed number on some reports, as some have been wrongly numbered and some not numbered at all. When the reports have been made in part to the Senate and in part to the House they have been designated parts one and two, respectively. Again in rebinding, where the volumes have been too large for convenience, we have bound them in two volumes calling them parts one and two, the division being purely arbitrary.
The parts and respective numbers of the reports have been indicated in our own set on leather labels projecting beyond the margin of the book, but not beyond the book-cover. This suggestion of device is given so that other persons may use it if they care to do so, thus rendering this printed index more readily usable than it could otherwise become.
