PUBLISHED GUIDES
JOPA's most valuable resources to researchers have been
microfilmed in three major NHPRC-funded projects. In 1976
its entire INDIAN LANGUAGES COLLECTION was completed in two
parts, one pertaining to the languages of Alaskan Natives
and the other to Pacific Northwest Tribes. The second and
third projects, completed in 1980 and 1987, were focused
around the general theme of Jesuit Mission History in Alaska
and the Northwest. Consequently, these microfilmed
materials were drawn from the most relevant and important
subgroups in the MISSIONS and HOUSES COLLECTION and the
INDIVIDUAL JESUITS' FILES.
The Guides contain not only finding aid descriptions, but short
biographical sketches and mission histories as well. Copies of
the Guides are available for purchase, either from the Special
Collections Department or Scholarly Resources Inc., 104
Greenhill Ave., Wilmington, DE 19805. Full bibliographic
