In order to afford ready access to the subject matter contained in these publications, 950 index cards have been made by the librarian and filed. Nothing further has been done regarding the indexing of the Records of the Superior Council of the Cabildo since Mr. Price left. Of the indexes prepared by him of the documents dating 1719-1760, it is planned to arrange them for publication in the Society's Quarterly Journal as soon as they can be gotten in shape. Miss Grace King has undertaken this work voluntarily. Relative to the catalogue of documents in the archives and library of Paris pertaining to the history of the Mississippi Valley, for which the Society, in March, 1914, appropriated $200 as its prorata, nothing has been heard or received. The first important work undertaken was completed and is awaiting publication by either the Illinois or Michigan Historical commissions. Continuing the work begun at the time of the celebration of the Centennial of the Battle of New Orleans, data and names regarding the soldiers who fought under General Jackson are still being collected in order to complete the records. In commemoration of Huard des Monettes, who was a grenadier at the battle, a brass name-plate has been placed on the Cabildo walls, calling attention to this fact. During the past summer a forty-foot gilt letter sign, reading, "Louisiana Historical Society," was placed on the front of the Cabildo and smaller signs at the entrance to the building and to the Society's room.
