Historical Data Catalogued
By National Society Of OAR

After nearly three years of pains
taking effort, the National Society
Daughters of the American Revo-
luton has completed an impressive
catalogue of the genealogical and
historical works in its famous Ii
brary.
For the first time in it's history.
the D. A. R. has catalogued all
of the $500 books and thousands
Of pamphlets and manuscripts III
the genealogical library in Con-
stitution Hall in Washington, Mrs.
Henry M. Robert, Jr., announced
today.
The catalogue, comprising near,
ly 800 pages will be ready for
distribution the latter part of JAN
uary. It will greatly facilitate the
search for authentic material on
American genealogy and records
of the services of the patriots of
176 upon which eligibility to men,
bership in the National Society is
based.
Compiled under the direction of
Mrs. Vinton Earl Sisson of Chica-
go, illinois, Librarian General, N.
S. D. A. R., the Jubilee Edition
has been dedicated to the Presi-
dent General Mrs. Robert.
Nohing so comprehensive has
ever been attempted heretofore by
the National Society. In 1920 a
pamphlet was issued covering part
of the library's books and manu-
scripts. With the great growth of
the library since then, making it
today the foremost genealogical
library in the country, the stupen-
dous task of publishing catalogue
finally became vitality necessary.
Mrs. Sisson, proud of the fact
that the regular library staff did
all OF the work in connection with
the catalogue, declared:
"Just as the Constitution records
the thoughts and convictions of the
Founders Of this Nation, so our
Library in Constitution Hall re-
cords the lives, the family re-
lationships, the community activi-
ties and the migrations of those
early Americans.
1T, too, is a memorial to the
Founders of this republic.
THE books on it's shelves weave
a romance of the building of this
nation that cannot be d plicated
anywhere else, for in many in
stances our library contains the
only known record of certain i'm
portant data.
