LIBRARY " DEPARTMENT M ETHNOLOGY, ARCHAEOLOGY, HISTORY, CAR- TOGRAPHY, LATIN-AMERICAN BUREAU, COLLECTIVE AND ISOLATED EXHIBITS. To Department M has been assigned 160,000 square feet of space in the gallery of the northern half of the Manufact- ures and Liberal Arts building. This building, covering over thirty-one acres, is the largest exposition building ever constructed. It contains, including the gallery, forty acres of floor space; it is 232 feet in height in the center, and ex- tends for nearly half a mile along the shore of the lake, with the intervening lawns and promenades. The style of archi- tecture is Corinthian; the exterior is covered with "staff," in imitation of marble; the lofty columns and arches forming the facades are elaborately ornamented with figures illustrative of the different arts and sciences; and the grand entrances at the corners and sides of the building add to its imposing effect. In addition to this space in the Main building, the de- partment will also occupy a strip of land, 1,000 feet long and from 100 to 200 feet wide, along the border of the lagoon in the southeastern portion of the grounds. Here the groups of native American peoples will be arranged geographically, and will be living under normal conditions in their native habita- tions during the six months of the Exposition. The classification of this department, as determined by the National Commission, is given in detail on pages following, and fully expresses the diversity of subjects covered by the department. 518 4 WORLD'S COLUMBIAN EXPOSITION. The following summary of the several sections into which the department is subdivided, in order to facilitate the work of bringing together and arranging the exhibition as a whole, briefly describes the plans of the department. It also shows wherein the cooperation of foreign governments, of state boards and of individual exhibitors is specially needed in order to make the exhibition in every way worth)' of the occasion and of importance to science and education. While couperation in these general plans of the department is earn- estly desired and requested, it must at the same time be un- derstood that exhibitors can enter their exhibits in any of the special classes mentioned in the official classification ap- pended, and that many exhibits will come under the group of " Isolated and Collective Exhibits" which could not be brought into the proper scientific arrangement of a section. Whenever an exhibit is entered for competition, it must be so stated in the "application," and only such as are thus particularly mentioned at the time of the application for space will be examined and reported upon by the Board of Awards. Applications for space must be made on regular blank forms, which will be furnished by the Director-General, or by the Chief of this Department. All applications must be sent to the Director-General of the World's Columbian Ex- position, Chicago, 111. Special information will be furnished to an)' intending ex- hibitor by the Chief of the Department. All applications for concessions in relation to the sale of objects must be made to the Committee on Ways and Means, World's Columbian Exhibition, Chicago, 111. All objects accepted for exhibition must be received before April 10, 1893, and cannot be removed until after the close of the Exposition, November 1, 1893. The department will be ready to receive exhibits in November, 1892. PLAN AND SCOPE OF DEPARTMENT M. By means of special research in different parts of America, under the direction of the Chief of the department, important scientific collections in the ethnological and archaeological PLAN \\l i -11 IP] I u l»! PAR IMI \ I M. 5 sections of this department will be brought together. While a large amount of valuable 'Material will be secured in this way, it is hoped that every state hoard, and many historical and scientific societies, as well as owners of private collections, will join in this educational exhibit, that a full and effective illustration may he presented of the present status of Auk i u an archaeology and ethnology. The Section of Archaeology. The first division of this section will illustrate early man and the conditions under which he lived in remote times. In this connection will be shown portions of human skeletons and objects of man's handiwork which have been found under geological conditions, thus furnishing the evidence of his ex- istence at that early time. Following this exhibit illustrative of the earlv or palaeo- lithic period, the archaeological collections will be arranged geographically, illustrating the second prehistoric period of the continent. These will comprise objects from shell heaps, an- cient village sites, burial places, mounds, earth works, ancient pueblos, cliff houses, caves, the ruined cities of Mexico, Cen- tral and South America, etc., In order to show the phases of prehistoric life on the con- tinent, models of the most distinctive earth works and mounds of the central portion of the country will be prepared from carefully made plans and sketches. The great earth works of Ohio in which are combined squares, octagons, circles and other figures, often of large size, will be represented in this way, as well as the different kinds of mounds, such as the great mound at Cahokia, 111., nearly ioo feet high, and the famous Serpent mound, of Ohio, an earth structure 1,400 feet long. Fort Ancient, the largest ancient fortification in the country, will be represented in the same manner ; as will also the Turner and Hopewell groups, both illustrating the sacred structures of an ancient people. The State Historical Society of Ohio, in connection with the state board, will contribute 6 WORLD S COLUMBIAN EXPOSITION. models of other typical earth works within the state. The singular earth works of great size representing man and vari- ous animals — of which several are still preserved intact in Wisconsin and Minnesota — are essential to this exhibit. The State Historical Society of Wisconsin will contribute mod- els of several of these ancient structures as a most import- ant and unique exhibit. It is hoped that the Illinois state board will have made a relief map of the Cahokia group of mounds, as the most important archaeological exhibit that could be made from that state. In connection with these models will be placed plans and drawings of many mounds and earth works presenting strange and complicated structures. In order to obtain a full illustration of the cliff houses and ruined pueblos, it is hoped that the Commissioners of Colo- rado, Arizona, New Mexico and Utah will secure a repre- sentation of this peculiar feature of American archaeology. The reproduction of portions of the high stone structures in Central America, Mexico and South America, will doubt- less prove an exhibit of great interest. For this purpose molds are now being taken of portions of some of the most important ruins in Yucatan, from which actual reproductions will be set up in Chicago. Plans, paintings and photographs will illustrate many details of these grand monuments of an- tiquity ; while casts and photographs of the tablets, inscribed with pictographical records, found on the walls of the stone temples, will be of marked interest alike to the student and to the general public. One of these ancient structures, of which the molds are already made, is called the " Portal of Labna." This portal is intended to be used as an impos- ing entrance to one part of the exhibit and through it visitors will pass to view other reproductions of this char- acter. Here will be seen typical portions of symbolical ornamentation, facades of buildings and corner pieces of characteristic design showing the different styles of architect- ure and sculpture. The material collected this year by the Peabody Museum Honduras Expedition will be loaned to this department. PLAN AND SCOPE OF DEPARTMENT M. J Molds are being made of the immense monoliths and altars existing among the ancient ruins of Copan; and many inter- esting specimens have already been obtained to illustrate the arts and customs of the unknown but once powerful people who designed and erected these massive stone structures elaborately ornamented with figures in high relief and strange hieroglyphs. In connection with the exhibit of this Peabody Museum collection at the World's Fair, appeals have been made to the governments of Mexico, Costa Rica, Nicaragua, Honduras and Guatemala to contribute additional materials, that the representative collections to be exhibited in Chicago in 1893 may be worthy of the famous antiquities known to exist within the respective countries. Thus by a comparison of the casts, models, plans, photo- graphs and objects from different localities, the customs and habits of the prehistoric peoples of the continent can be com- pared with one another and with those of later times, and the distribution, migration and connection of the various peoples can be traced. One sub-division in this section will contain special exhibits. Here will be arranged the numerous collections exhibited by their owners, such as stone implements, pottery, ornaments, pipes, etc., which cannot be separated or placed in the geographical arrangement. Another sub-division will include archaeological collections received from other parts of the world. Museums, societies and individuals owning important collections are cordially in- vited to send exhibits to this section. Collections from foreign countries are very desirable for comparative study, and it is hoped that the Commissioners of foreign countries will send representative collections of the archaeology of their respective countries. The Section of Ethnology. Under this heading will be arranged all materials exempli- fying the primitive modes of life, customs and arts of the native peoples of the world. The primary object in this 8 WORLD S COLUMBIAN EXPOSITION. section will be to illustrate the peculiarities of the different races and varieties of man and their distribution over the earth. The importance of the exhibition in this section will depend largely upon what may be done by foreign govern- ments in connection with a proper illustration of the native inhabitants and primitive customs of their respective countries. It is hoped that all governments will see the importance of developing this section of the Exposition to the fullest extent, as it is certainly one of great interest and of fundamental importance to every nation. Special efforts will be made to render the American divis- ion of this section not only instructive but also of popular interest. For this purpose a strip of land along the border of the southeastern lagoon has been reserved for an American ethnographical exhibition, where will be placed the habitations of families of such native tribes of Americans as can be secured. Here it is intended to present a living picture of the typical native peoples of different parts of America ; each family to be living in its native habitation ; the people to be dressed in native costume, surrounded by characteristic house- hold utensils, implements and weapons and engaged in their native occupations and manufactures. The various tribes of Indians within the borders of the United States will be fully represented, as is assured by the cordial cooperation of the United States government through the Indian office; while the government itself will make a special exhibit of its Indian school system and will illustrate what is being done by the government to bring the Indian into our civilization. The object of this ethnographical exhibit, as before stated, is to present the means of studying the native peoples in a scientific manner; and, by representing the people who were in America 400 years ago, to form a background to the other if departments of the Exposition in which will be illustrated the developments made during the past four centuries. At the same time it is intended that the presentation of this feature of native life shall be in every way satisfactory and creditable PLAN AND SCOPE OF DEPARTMENT M. g to the native peoples, and no exhibition of a degrading or derogatory character will be permitted. Moreover, this gath- ering of the different natives of the continent at such a time and place can but be beneficial to them, as it will afford them a grand opportunity to see and understand the relations of different nations and the material advantages which civiliza- tion brings to mankind. The Chief of the Department most earnestly and respect- fully calls upon the several governments of America to aid in making this American ethnographical exhibit worthy of its great importance; and to this end he hopes that each country will be officially represented in furthering this exhibit. In connection with this ethnographical section there has been established a Section of Phvsical Anthropologv, and thousands of measurements and special observations are being taken of members of various native tribes. From the data thus obtained there will be prepared a number of charts and tables illustrating the physical characteristics of the native peoples of America. Similar measurements and observations have been taken of the school children in several cities, as well as of the children in the Indian schools, for the purpose of furnishing comparative data and of showing the importance of such investigations in relation to the education of children and their physical development. During the months of the Exposition an Anthropological Laboratory will be estab- lished at the department headquarters where the charts and tables will be exhibited, and where anthropometrical and psychological apparatus of various kinds will be exhibited and used in taking measurements and recording observations of individuals of various races who visit the Exposition. In this way the methods and objects of anthropological research will be illustrated at the Exposition, and many important re- sults will undoubtedly be secured. There will also be an Ethnological Section in the main building in connection with other sections of Department M. Here, in a series of alcoves, the objects pertaining to each tribe, nation and race will be arranged geographically. For IO WORLDS COLUMBIAN EXPOSITION. this section it is hoped that there will be many contributions from all parts of the world, and it is particularly desirable that the American exhibit should be made as complete as pos- sible by contributions from all American peoples. It is hoped that the Native Peoples will take an interest in preparing characteristic collections, illustrative of their native arts and customs, to be sent through the proper official channels as their own special exhibits. The various tribes of North American Indians are particularly invited to prepare collec- tions for this section, and to each tribe will be allotted space for the display of such exhibits. Each tribal exhibit will be arranged by itself and properly credited, and all such exhibits can be entered for competition and be passed upon by the Board of Awards the same as exhibits in any other department of the Exposition. This also applies to any exhibit made in any section of the department; the only requirement being that at the time of filling out the application for space, it must be stated that the exhibit is entered for competition, if it is so desired. One of the sub-divisions in this section will illustrate Primitive Religions, Games and Folk-lore. This exhibit can be made exceedingly interesting and instructive if persons having objects pertaining to these subjects, such as idols, charms, amulets, etc., etc., will exhibit them, accompanied with their history and use. It is intended to include in this exhibit the games of all countries. Section of History. Several groups of the classification will be gathered under this head, and here will be arranged all matters of a purely historical interest. It is probable that the exhibit in this section will be largely in relation to American history; but the representation of important events or special epochs in the history of other countries is desirable and can be illustrated by groups of objects pertaining to such events or to particu- lar times. The development of architecture can here be represented by models, drawings, plans and photographs. It is hoped PLAN \\1> SCOPE OF DEPARTMENT M. II that architects will take a special interest in this section, and will exhibit any models, drawings or plans they may have of ancient houses and public buildings, and also dwellings of modern and present times. Exhibits showing the evolution of house furniture and of implements, tools and utensils also come into this section, as well as illustrations of notable inventions and appliances for the amelioration of life and labor. In relation to American History it is expected that historical societies and State Boards will make special exhibits illustra- tive of particular epochs, the establishment of the respective states, and other events, of great historical importance. It is considered desirable that all exhibits relating to the civil war should be excluded. It is suggested to the State Boards that their historical ex- hibits should be made a part of the general exhibit, each state having its particular place in a series of alcoves. In this way much historical information could be given which would be of great educational value, as well as of interest for compara- tive study to all visitors to the Exposition; whereas if these exhibits were made in the several state buildings they would lose in their importance, and they would be seen by com- paratively few persons other than citizens of the respective states. Several of the State Boards, appreciating the im- portance of uniting in such a general historical exhibit, have already signified their cooperation and have applied for space. The portraits, busts, photographs, autographs, etc., of distinguished and noted persons are desirable for this histor- ical exhibit, with relics illustrating the life and times of such persons. Historical relics of various periods will necessarily form the principal part of such exhibits as here suggested, but every State Board and Historical Society can easily make an attractive exhibit of special character. As an example of this kind it can be mentioned that arrangements are in progress to represent a log cabin of pioneer times, with characteristic furniture. In this cabin the preparation of flax, spinning and 12 WORLD'S COLUMBIAN EXPOSITION. weaving, and other domestic occupations will be carried on by persons dressed in homespun clothes in the fashion of a century ago on the frontiers. There will be a sub-division in this section for the exhibi- tion of collections of medals and coins of all countries. Section of Cartography. Group 167 of the classification provides for the exhibition of charts and maps, from the earliest known to those of the present time, arranged chronologically. It is hoped that the exhibit will contain many old maps, either originals or copies, as well as maps and charts illustrating particular and import- ant geographical discoveries. It is believed that there are many collections of maps and charts which if exhibited will prove of great interest when brought together for comparison. This section will also furnish to publishers of important maps the opportunity of exhibiting their productions in a way that can but prove advantageous to them, while they will at the same time aid in making an instructive and important exhibit. The Latin-American Bureau. This sub-department, which will represent the history of the Latin-American republics, and thus form an essential part of the historical exhibit, will also include all relics of the time of Columbus. It is under the special charge of Mr. William E. Curtis, who has prepared the account and classi- fication given on a following page. The Columbus relics and objects pertaining more directly to the period of the discovery will be arranged in the "convent of La Rabida," while other groups of the classification will find their appropriate places in the main building, and in the Ethnographical Exhibition. Collective and Isolated Exhibits. Reference is made to the official classification in the fol- lowing pages for the various groups and classes which have here been summarized. While in special cases it may be found that some of the classes do not fall within the general PLAN AND SCOPE OF DEPARTMENT M. 1 3 statements made on the preceding pages, it will generally be ascertained on careful analysis that exhibits likely to be made will come under some one of the general sub-divisions mentioned, or will necessarily be relegated to the group of "Isolated and Collective Exhibits. " In some instances the slight confliction in the classification with that of other depart- ments will probably carry a few exhibits over to some other department, as may be decided by the Director-General. Late discussions have led to the reference of collective ex- hibits of natural history objects to this department; such as groups of stuffed mammals and birds, collections of fossils, and general scientific collections which will be more appro- priate under the group of " Isolated and Collective Exhibits " in this department than elsewhere.

This sub-department, which will embrace the history of the Latin- American republics and colonies from the period of the discovery to the present day, including relics of Columbus and the other early voy- agers in American waters, is under the special charge of William E. Curtis. (Address Latin-American Bureau, No. 2 Lafayette square, Washington, D. C.) The relics of Columbus will be exhibited in a separate building erected upon the headland opposite the Agricultural building, and the main pier or landing. This building will be an exact reproduction of the ancient monastery of La Rabida, at Palos, Spain, at which Co- lumbus applied for food and shelter for himself and child when he was about to leave Spain, after his plan for an expedition to seek a western passage to the Indies had been rejected by the Spanish court. Here he found an asylum while developing his theories, and it was through the intercession of the prior of this monastery that Queen Isabella consented to reconsider her refusal to furnish ships and money for the voyage. It was here, too, that Columbus remained while preparing his little fleet for the memorable expedition. In the chapel of the mon- astery he attended mass on the morning of the day he sailed, and again on the evening of the day he returned from the discovery of the New World. It is a picturesque old building of Moorish architecture, and will furnish a striking contrast to the splendid structures that are being erected for the other departments. Being completely isolated from all other buildings on the Exposition grounds, almost entirely surrounded with water, and constructed of non-combustible materials, it will afford absolute security for objects exhibited within its walls, and additional protection will be furnished by a military guard detailed from the United States army by the kindness of the Secretary of War. It is desired to obtain for exhibition here all relics of Columbus and all other American discoverers ; all portraits of Columbus and all pictures in which he appears ; early editions of publications concern- ing America ; maps, globes, charts, autographs and other articles of historical interest associated with the early history of the American continent.
