content: Baer's notebook was not originally part of Gibbs' collection at the Smithsonian Institution.  However, Gibbs notes indicate that he made his copies of these vocabularies from this notebook, which was provided to him through "the kindness of Commodore John Rodgers, U.S. Navy. The notebook was obtained by the Bureau of American Ethnology in 1906.  The Archivist incorporated the notebook into the George Gibbs collection because it was an item he used for his research, even if he did not retain custody of it during his lifetime.
