Regarding Steve's reply to Jason's request, I agree that the MHS method is
simple and easy to use.  However, I should think that using only one letter
for a state might get confusing.  Using M for Maine as an example, what
would differentiate Maine from Massachusetts, Montana, Maryland,... and so
on. 

 

Just a thought.

Jason:

 

you lucky dog.... what a treasure... I suggest that you contact Nancy Noble
at the Maine Historical Society at Portland Maine 207-774-1822 ..The
collection there in family history and local history is one of the oldest in
the country.. it has a simple on the shelf  system that any researcher with
1/2 a brain can use  those  without 1/2 a brain ( and there are many of
those out there)will of course chase you around the stacks asking for you to
find a book for them.. 

M is Maine  U is Utah on the first line the second for a town history if it
were Salt Lake City vitals

 

U

SLC

#'s     the cutter listing for that area or group

 

Is Simple and mostly alpha numeric.. since you are probably not loaning form
that collection you need not be LC or other Library compatible .

Contact if off line if you like  I can forward some catalogue sheets that I
have from my tours of duty at MHS..

Steve
