Book Description
Excerpt from Annotated Catalogue of Newspaper Files in the Library of the State Historical Society of Wisconsin The first edition of the Annotated Catalogue o Newspaper Files in the Wisconsin State Historical Library was published in 1898, and compiled by the late Emma Helen Blair, then a member of the staff. In the intervening fourteen years, the Library's files have greatly increased in number of volumes and in geographical range; a second edition has therefore become necessary. In its preparation, the matter published in the first edition has been used as a basis; but in the effort to bring the new volume down to date, to include new files, and to introduce fresh data in the historical notes, thousands of changes have been made. The alphabetization, typography, and make-up of the present volume are also quite different from the former; and in these respects at least, there has been marked improvement both in appearance and in facility of consultation. Explanation seems necessary regarding the newly-adopted alphabetical arrangement. The classification by states and cities is obvious; the order of titles under each city, however, may at first seem eccentric. But the word in the title which is most commonly used or is more descriptive, has been chosen as the one determining the alphabetical position - not as commonly done, the first word in the title. This selected word (which in the Library of Congress Check List of Newspapers whose style we have followed in this particular, is called the "surname" of the paper) has been printed in small capitals, thus: 'Labor Advocate," 'Alabama Watchman," "National Democrat." The following descriptive title-words have, among many others, been selected as descriptive surnames: "Labor," "social," 'socialist," "commercial," "industrial," "mercantile," "workmen's," "co-operative," "religious," "woman's," "dramatic," "Christian," "union," "united" - also the names of trades, professions, denominations, and nationalities.
