EVERY two years it is a great pleasure to prepare a volume of Kansas Historical Collections. 

And it is an inexpressible satisfaction to acknowledge the interest and help which seems to come

to us from all sides while we are thus engaged.  With each volume we discover something new,

and at the end a suggestion, sometimes more than one, comes which is of value in making the

succeeding volume.  The friends of Kansas history, the friends of this Society, have been prompt

and liberal.  The death of Miss Zu Adams caused a reorganization of the working force.  This

volume has been most fortunate in reaching her standard of excellence.  Miss Clara Francis is now

librarian, and is also mainly responsible as active editor of this volume.  Too much can not be said

of her scholarship and interest in historical work.  George A. Root is a thorough and competent

genealogist, and Mrs. Frank P. Montgomery is a most efficient person to handle the archives

department.  Miss Ruth Cowgill and Miss Helen McFarland, graduate librarians, are very efficient

helpers.  Mrs. Mary Embree, treasurer of the Society, is of great value in the work; and William

E. Bacon is very ready in handling the newspaper department.



These employees are very much handicapped by the crowded condition of our quarters.  In the

new building, in another year or so, we will have a place for everything and everything will be in

its place.  We will then be very proud to hand our guests into a private room for study, insteading

of placing them, as now, before a three by six table, about which three or four people are already

gathered.
