GROUP II: WRITINGS
This series contains more than
100 articles on aspects of Pacific Northwest history written by J. Neilson
Barry, as well as the typescript of an unpublished book, The Trail Makers of
Idaho (Box 8). The articles, many of which were published in the Oregon
Historical Quarterly (OHQ) and Washington Historical
Quarterly (WHQ), are present in various formats including
typescripts, offprints, and photocopies of published versions. Very often an
article is represented by more than one format. For this list, a
bibliographical entry is given if the article is represented in a published form
(offprint or photocopy); those represented only by typescripts are so
identified. The notation “T also” in parentheses after a bibliographical entry
indicates that a typescript is present along with the published form. Some
articles are accompanied by correspondence with the editors and publishers. A
few of the shorter articles might not have been written for publication, but as
distillations of Barry’s findings, prepared for himself or fellow researchers.
Book reviews that Barry wrote are at the end of the series (Box 8).
