Quarters OutgrOwn

Then came the completion of the
states Capitol building in 1902, with
space designated for the Historical Ii
brary. The Capitol proved fine home
for few years, but all too soon the
rapidly expanding library collection was
suffering from lack of adequate space.
At the same time, two small cases of
museum objects brought from the Lew
is and Clark court house had served
as leaven for Montana's first public mu-

the "Corporators" ranged wide in their
mining and business interests. A few |
faithful ones, notably w. F. Sanders
and the Stuart brothers, carried on the
trust.
Fire Destroys Library
Fire totally destroyed the library of
the Society just after it had been moved
to Helena. One wonders what priceless
manuscripts were lost in this fire, for
we know that in 1873 the Society had
some 200 volumes and that they COW
cred early explorations, Lewis and
Clark's expedition, the activities of the
Catholic missionaries, the fur trade, In
dian history in Montana, the Yellow
stone country, early towns, sketches of
various officials and early pioneers, the
progress of the territory and an al
most complete file of the territorial
newspapers.
The listing follows the lines of today's
Historical Library and those doughty
"CorporatorS" sent out immediate APP
peal for materials to build up another
collection. Funds from the territorial
Golfers were soon forthcoming, for Gov
ernor Potts on Feb. 10, 1874, approved
an appropriation of $500 for the Society.
Notable Honorary Members
So despite incalculable losses expert
enced in the Helena fire, the work of
the Society was resumed with zeal and
continued in much the same pattern for
almost 20 years till the Society was
placed under the jurisdiction of the
state.
Through the years the original ''Cor-
porators" had accepted Montanans by
petition to active membership and had
enrolled many honorary members
whose names include the historian
Bancroft, the writer Bret Harte, and
such Montana notables as Peter Roman,
Conrad Kohrs, Martin Maginnis, Rev.
Anthony Ravalli, Bishop Daniel futile,
and Angus Mcdonald. One record
notes that the active members were to
be asked for the annual fee of $40.
In 1887 the Society moved its holdings
into the Lewis and Clark court house,
with no expense for the new quarters.
Minutes of the Sept 1, 1888, meeting
carry the favorable vote that librarian
w. F. Wheeler, previously us. Mar
shall and director of the 1870 census that
had taken him along the Missouri
counting the wood-chopping crews,
should be paid $25 month as long as
his services should be satisfactory and
the funds would justify. AS a sign Of
the times, Wheeler the next year asked
for $50 month.
Building Just Hope
The 1888 report had indicated about
1000 volumes of bound books, 1,OO(
pamphlets, many manuscripts, abou
200 bound volumes of newspapers, ant
120 volumes of newspapers on hand bu
not bound. The current expenses hat
not exceeded $3.50 per annum, but tn,
Society needed $500 to bind the news
papers on hand.
And this same report voiced the hop
that in the near future it should hav
offices, hall, library room, study an
reading room in fire-proof buildin
of its own. This hope did not material
ize for over 60 years. but meanwhil
