SCOPE and CONTENTS

This collection is compiled into twenty-three volumes of correspondence, documents, and other records primarily about the Delaware Indians. Although other Indian groups are included as they relate to the Delaware. The correspondence includes letters on file in the Office of Indian Affairs, reports of the Commissioner of Indian Affairs and letters answered by the commissioner. Documents include federal legislation and legal documents filed in the United States Court of Claims. The collection was acquired in 1967, but unfortunately the original sequence of the compilation has been obscured by the poor condition of the set. Consequently, the volumes have been rearranged in chronological order with correspondence volumes followed by the documents. The majority of volumes are indexed and are noted in the inventory.
