Deparitmeiit of Middle American Mesearch Frans Blom, Director The Department of Middle American Research was founded in 1924 for the purpose of advanced research into the history, archxology, botany, nat- ural resources and products of Mexico, the Cen- tral American Republics, and the West Indies, and to gather and disseminate information in regard to these countries. Four expeditions have been sent into the field. Three of these have been primarily archasological or ethnological, and one agronomical, but each has gathered as much general data as possible. The Museum of the Department contains many valuable and interesting collections, having material on Middle America and related Anthropology, as well as on the Southeastern United States. The Library ranks among the leading research libraries of the country. It holds not only anthropological and archasoligical books and rare manuscripts, but also volumes on travel, geog- raphy, botany, biology and cartography of Central America.
