This microfilm contains copies of (1) Records of the project including fragmentary narrative and statistical reports, 1936-1940; operational records, 1936-1940, 1942, such as payroll forms, employment authorizations, and correspondence; and research outlines and questions; and (2) Results of the project consisting of essays; copies of selections from the John A. Bardon collection of historical articles on the Superior region (originals in the Douglas County Historical Society); and miscellaneous other items. The essays form the largest portion of the collection and have been filmed in numbered envelopes in the order in which Sister Valentina arranged them. A list of essay titles follows this description.
Included in the original collection but not filmed were typed copies of several published works: (1) selections from Volume V and Volume IX of Collections of the Minnesota Historical Society, (2) History of the Chippewa Valley by Thomas E. Randall (1875), (3) articles by various authors published in the Franciscan Herald, (4) The Traditional History and Characteristic Sketches of the Ojibway Nation by G. Copway or Kah-go-ga-gah-bowh (1851), and (5) History, Tradition and Adventure in the Chippewa Valley by William G. Bartlett (1929). Also not copied were early drafts of articles for which a later version with the same information was present, a typed copy of an 1826 treaty between the U.S. and the Chippewa tribe, a typed copy of an abstract of claims and schedule of treaties, and a notebook of thoughts on religion and communism presumably written by Sister Macaria.
