Excerpt from State Publications: A Provisional List of the Official Publications of the Several States of the United States Moreover, as the inquiry is extended back into the earlier historical periods, many documents are found which do much to complete the historical record of the nation or throw light on its development. In the present work, which can best be described as an attempt at an endeavor toward a check-list of State publications, the editor has undertaken to provide, so far as present resources permit, a key to the State publications of each State from its beginning, including in a supplemental division colonial or territorial issues or reprints of them. It has been an impossible task to make a complete bibliography, especially as in no State can there be found a complete set of the documents of the State itself. This preliminary endeavor has had, indeed, one useful effect in calling the attention of State Librarians and Historians to the gaps in their own collections and to the imperfections of their own records, and it is hoped that, on the completion of this work, librarians not only in the State Library of the State concerned, but in other libraries of the State and in libraries of other States, will make comparison of these records with their own collections or knowledge, and place their results at the service of their fellow-librarians. This will be a patriotic service to the State concerned, as well as a professional service to all libraries. The volume is so published, with column margins, as to invite such com plementary work in each library, as well as to permit additional entry, in the proper place, of new volumes of current series or new publications. In many cases local or historical libraries were found to have documents or information which the State Library altogether lacked, and the editor extends especial thanks to the libraries not State libraries which have thus cooperated.
