The Erminie Wheeler-Voegelin Collection

Black, James H. Kellar, Warren K. Moorehead and Eli Lilly, and other Midwestern archaeologists are open to scholars and to the public for on-site research.

[1] The Great Lakes-Ohio Valley Ethnohistory Collection (GLOVE) is a unique assemblage of primary and secondary resources pertaining to the Native American occupancy of the region.

[2] It was collected by Wheeler-Voegelin in the 1950s, and was funded by the U.S. Department of Justice to prepare in depth reports concerning American Indian land use and tenure.

These reports were intended to be used in the government's defense against cases involving alleged treaty inequities and which were brought before the Indian Claims Commission, a body and a process authorized by federal legislation signed into law on August 13, 1946.

The collection is open Monday-Friday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., though appointments are recommended to be made in advance.
