Cooper assembled in 1956 this bibliography consisting of references to the published literature, press releases, speeches, and both open-file and other unclassified reports dealing with uranium, thorium, and radioactive occurrences in Connecticut, Delaware, Illinois, Indiana, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Vermont, and Wisconsin. It represents Parts 5, 6, and 7 of a comprehensive bibliography planned to cover references to all similar deposits throughout the world.
This report is divided into three parts for publication purposes.
Part 5 will cover the Middle Atlantic states: Delaware, Maryland, New Jersey, New York, and Pennsylvania.
Part 6 will cover the North Central states: Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Ohio, and Wisconsin.
Part 7 will cover the New England states: Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, and Vermont.
The object has been to make the present bibliography as all-inclusive as possible as of 1956, from the point of view of including all the major papers and at least one reference to each known radioactive occurrence in these sixteen states, but only references for which the original text was readily available for examination and checking have been cited at this time. The remaining old and new references will be added to this basic list when the section is ready for inclusion in the comprehensive volumes, planned for future publication as a complete bibliography of the entire United States and world.
The main bibliography consists of an author section, in which each reference has been assigned an individual item number. Following the author listings are the anonymous notes, which are listed in chronological order and alphabetically by title within each year.”
“The bibliography proper is followed by three indexes:
* Index 1, Gazetteer for Connecticut, Delaware, Illinois, Indiana, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Vermont, and Wisconsin;
Index II, Geographical Index for Connecticut, Delaware, Illinois, Indiana, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Vermont, and Wisconsin;
**Index III, Subject Index for Connecticut, Delaware, Illinois, Indiana, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts,
______________________________
* Work on other projects interrupted the completion of this report after the author and gazetteer sections had
already been prepared. In order to make the final report more useful and current, an additional set of
author references, following rather than preceding the anonymous notes, was appended as pages 61-62 i and
an alphabetical supplement to the gazetteer was appended as pages 162 i - 162 vii.
** Index III has been compiled from this Trace Elements report because of its length but will be submitted in card form for inclusion in the published version.
