Excerpt from Guide to the Materials for American History, to 1783, in the Public Record Office of Great Britain, Vol. 1: The State Papers An important part of the work of the Department of Historical Research in the Carnegie Institution of Washington has from the beginning consisted in endeavors to make more available for students the materials for American history contained in European and other foreign archives. International relations, the transatlantic movement of population, and especially the long period of colonial dependence on Europe, have brought it about that the mass of such materials is very great. In dealing with them, the first step in natural order, for an endowed institution which has no special ends of its own to pursue but wishes to serve the interests of as large a number of historical scholars and societies as possible, is to make a general examination of each important foreign archive, and especially, at first, of the national or central archives of each country, and to prepare and publish a general guide to the materials which each is found to contain for American history. Fuller exploitation, by the preparation of complete calendars for selected portions of these archives, by the textual publication of the most important documents, or by the examination of provincial, local, and private archives, may follow later, but the first task is that of preparing and issuing a series of comprehensive guides. Of such manuals the Institution has already published several. Making a beginning with the small but interesting archives of the Cuban republic, it published in 1907 a Guide to the Materials for American History in Cuban Archives, by Mr. Luis M.Perez, now librarian to the Cuban House of Representatives. In 1907 the enormous wealth of American material in the great archives of Spain received a brief and preliminary treatment in a Guide to the Materials for the History of the United States in Spanish Archives (Simancas, the Archivo Historico Nacional, and Seville) by Professor William R. Shepherd of Columbia University. Next, the American riches of the Vatican archives and of the great national depositories in the same country were set forth by Professor Carl R. Fish of the University of Wisconsin in a Guide to the Material for American History in Roman and Other Italian Archives, published in 1911. In the present year, 1912, the Institution has brought out a Guide to the Manuscript Materials relating to American History in the German State Archives, prepared by Professor Marion D.Learned of the University of Pennsylvania.

This early work by Charles McLean Andrews was originally published in 1912 and we are now republishing it with a brand new introductory biography. 'Guide to the Materials for American History Vol. I.' is a guide to the official papers of the British government from the Public Records Office. Charles McLean Andrews was born on February 22, 1863 in Connecticut, America. Andrews attended Trinity College in Connecticut in 1884 where he received his A.B., and following this he obtained his Ph.D. from Johns Hopkins University in 1889. He was a professor at Bryn Mawr College (1889-1907) and Johns Hopkins University (1907-1910) before going to Yale University. He was the Farnam Professor of American History at Yale from 1910 to his retirement in 1931. Andrews was one of the most distinguished American historians of his time and widely recognised as a leading authority on American colonial history. He is especially known as a leader of the 'Imperial school' of historians who studied, and generally praised, the British Empire of the 18th century.
