Administrative InformationReturn to Top

Arrangement

This collection has been organized alphabetically by subject and then chronologically when feasible. Although the grouping has been categorized and sorted at the folder level, item-level descriptive information has been drawn from records available in WorldCat.

Note that while most of the literature published by the Anti-Imperialist League is grouped together, a few pamphlets have been placed under other subject headings, such as Philippine Independence, when the subject matter of the item appeared more relevant to that heading. The same is true for the "City and State" publications.

Some of the items have been grouped under the names of individuals, including U.S. politicians, noted Philippine politicians and activists, and important figures of the anti-imperialist movement. Most of the materials in these categories were either written by the individuals or are written specifically about that person.

Custodial History

Most of these publications were at the Library of Congress before their transfer to the University of Montana.

The publication, "Freedom: The Giant of the Orient" filed under Philippine Independence, Support for was not part of the original acquisition of materials from the Library of Congress and its custodial history is unknown.

Acquisition Information

Most of this material was acquired from the surplus duplicates collection at the Library of Congress.

Processing Note

The collection has been organized alphabetically by subject and then chronologically when practical. The language of the material, if it is something other than English, is currently noted in the title field.
