Note

"Published for the D'Arcy McNickle Center for the History of the American Indian at the Newberry Library."
Collection of approximately 9,000 documents relevant to the diplomatic history of the Iroquois nations or their league. Most are manuscript or printed texts arranged in chronological order from the sixteenth century to 1921. They include the minutes of treaty conferences, the agreements resulting from the formal meetings, and a broad range of background materials useful for interpreting motives, procedures and effects. Texts in languages other than English are presented but only rarely translated. Photographs of wampum belts are also included as representing Indian records of negotiations; they are grouped on reel 50 according to emblematic content.
Druke's introduction, filmed at the beginning of each reel, is an earlier version of the introduction eventually published in the guide.
Accompanied by reel guide and index with the same title.
