Scope and Content:

Mari Sandoz maintained a large set of index cards to support her research, which remain in the order of her original filing system. Headings on card dividers, subjects, and individual names for people were listed. The spelling of individual or family names may vary. Transcriptions are provided for selected cards but it may be necessary to study the originals to determine exact words or wording.

The list below includes the headings Sandoz created, along with frame numbers in brackets [ ], and microfilm reel numbers. The number in brackets refers to the frame number on the microfilm reel for the card. Please note that numbers on the cards themselves do not match frame numbers. The notation "no cards" is used when none were placed within a specific subject that Sandoz outlined.
