Hello,

Thank you for thinking to offer these items to us! I am going to pass your email on to our field archivist, who acquires new material for the library - she will follow up with you directly.

Best,

The Bentley Historical Library acknowledges that coerced cessions of land by the Anishinaabeg and Wyandot, including the grant by the Anishinaabeg under the Treaty of the Foot of the Rapids for "the college at Detroit" so that their children could be educated, made the University of Michigan possible, and we seek to reaffirm the ancestral and contemporary ties of these peoples to the lands where the University now stands.

Reference Question I have inherited a copy of oclc # 490965366. Cover and title page bear 1901-1902. It is the Detroit Bi-Centennial edition.
I also inherited an ANCIENT map of Great Lakes regional railroad lines. It is so fragile that I am loath to open it to even examine it.
Want them? They very likely should be evaluated for preservation and cataloging. I am a retired Librarian.
