Microfilm Card Index

of

Native Americans

and

(other collections on New England Native American history)

The following is a transcription of the Native American microfilm card index housed at the Massachusetts State Archives. This index may be found to be a useful tool to those interested in the study of New England Native American history. I will give a brief explanation of what the index is, followed by how it may be used.

This microfilm index is basically an index to colonial period documents, pertaining to Native Americans, that have been microfilmed. The index is arranged by topic and is alphabetically and chronologically ordered. The microfilmed documents relate to deeds, wills, grants, treaties, etc.. The time frame of these documents ranges from the early 1600's to the late 1700's. The microfilms, themselves, are part of the vast Massachusetts Archives Collection which consists of 328 microfilms. These microfilms can be found at the Archives and viewed at no cost. Also, pages from these microfilms may be photocopied or the microfilms themselves may be purchased for a fee.

How the index works is basically this:

1) First, look through the index and find something you are interested in.

2) Second, write down the Vol. (Volume) number and Page or Doc. (Document) number that is located just below the sentence or paragraph describing the document you are interested in viewing. Example: Vol.32 : Page 371

3) Then you must either go to the Massachusetts State Archives or another research facility that may have these microfilmed documents. Once there, ask someone for assistance if possible.

4) If you should decide to attempt to locate and use the microfilms, on your own, you would do the following as an example:

At the State Archives there is a file cabinet that contains these microfilms. You would need to locate it. Then you would search through the different drawers of the cabinet looking over the boxed microfilms for a corresponding number that matches the information you had written down earlier, such as the volume number. Example: Vol.32

Once you had found the correct microfilm you would then need to load it onto a microfilm reading machine. After this, you will begin to see some old documents on the reader's viewing screen. You would then need to find the corresponding page or document number which you are interested in viewing. Example: Page 371

The page or document number is usually located in the upper left or right corner of the document that is being viewed. Hopefully you will be able to locate the microfilmed document pertinent to the information located in this index. If not, do not despair, just ask your State Archive or research facility employee for assistance and I am sure you will find it fairly easy to accomplish. Good luck!
