Record Group 17 - Annual Reports
Record Group 17 represents the annual reports of the library association printed at the beginning of each year to summarize the year before. They begin with the third annual report because the first two were not published. The annual reports contain narratives detailing the library's history and accession of new collections as well as budget details and membership numbers. Some reports are published with lecture transcripts. The seventh report is translated into German. Starting in the mid-1850s, reports were also published by the shareholders of the Mercantile Library Hall until its eventual complete purchase by the library association. The reports appear in this collection in alphabetical order, but can be sorted by date through the digital library's search interface.
