Extract

In July, 1936, the Burlington inaugurated a policy of making its historical records available to qualified scholars by depositing, in the Baker Library at the Harvard Graduate School of Business Administration, all the records that could be found (some six tons in bulk) pertaining to the sale and colonization of its land grants in Iowa and Nebraska; a few years later similar material for the Hannibal & St. Joseph was added to this collection, thereby making it the most complete of its kind in the United States.
