See here for John M. Bernhisel’s assembly of the original Utah Territorial Library. See the comments to previously posted sections of the catalog for discussion on our plans for linking the titles in this catalog to their Google Books scans. Thanks to Researcher for locating the Google Books scans linked in the Botany section and for supplying the missing cataloguing elements.
As each catalog section is posted, the links in all previous posts will be updated so that you can move freely around the catalog. (Some links here may not yet be functional, if they lead to sections that I have drafted for posting but not yet published – sorry.)
