Native American Legal Materials Microfiche Collection
Introduction
The Native American Legal Materials (NALM) microfiche collection is an historical collection of laws, treaties, and law-related materials pertaining to Native Americans (American Indians, Eskimo, and Native Hawaiians). This collection was produced by the Law Library Microform Consortium (LLMC). Between 1982-1989 LLMC borrowed and filmed the public-domain titles listed in American Indian Legal Materials: A Union List compiled by Laura N. Gasaway, James L. Hoover, and Dorothy M. Warden (152 p., Stanfordville, N.Y. : Earl M. Coleman, 1980).
In 1995 the Washburn University School of Law Library undertook a project to provide access through its online catalog to all of the titles in the NALM collection. The project was completed early in 1998. This website is a result of Washburn's cataloging project. Each title was searched in the OCLC online union catalog WorldCat. Records were reviewed, edited, and added to the Washburn catalog. A significant amount of time was spent searching WorldCat for appropriate records. Thus, one component of this website are lists which will facilitate the retrieval of WorldCat records for editing and entry into local systems. (Please note: it is possible to purchase copies of NALM records through OCLC's WorldCat Collection Sets service.)
This website was generated from records in the Washburn University catalog.
