Bibliography

This bibliography is an update of the 1989 compilation of R. A. Davis, which started as a project for the Cedar Bog Association to compile a list of published and significant unpublished documents relating to the Bog. The purpose was to provide a jumping-off point for future research projects at the Bog. This bibliography, however, includes not only items that have appeared since 1989; it includes every reference in the previous compilation--in order to save the user from having to round up a copy of that work.

Although this compilation bears the name of two persons as authors, it is scarcely the work of those two individuals unaided. Many people have provided help and advice. William T. Schultz and Robert C. Glotzhober, Ohio Historical Society, Site Operations, helped one of us (RAD) to go through the Cedar Bog material in their care. Terry Jaworski, Curator of Cedar Bog, likewise, shared his files with us. In addition, various members of the Cedar Bog Association have shared with us potential candidates for the following list. To all of these people we are grateful.

Locating copies of some of the material listed, especially unpublished matter, is no easy task. Copies of those items marked with an asterisk (*) are available at the Ohio Historical Society, Site Operations. Another treasure-trove is the Champaign County Library, Urbana, Ohio; items therein are marked (U). Extant files of the now-defunct Friends of Cedar Bog are in private hands, although copies of some material are in one or both of the aforementioned locations. In addition to the material in Site Operations at the Ohio Historical Society, the library at the Ohio Historical Center in Columbus has items pertinent to Cedar Bog, for example, those in the Florence Murdoch Collection (marked (M)) and in the Clara May Frederick Collection (marked (F)). Copies of items marked (B) are at Cedar Bog itself.

Note that we have made no attempt to compile information on photographic images of Cedar Bog that exist. According to Jaworski (1993, p. 63, and this volume), there is a one-hour film on Cedar Bog made by Irwin L. Oaks in the 1939-1944 period that is located in the Ohio Historical Society Archives/Library Division, Columbus, Ohio, with videotape copies at the Champaign County Library and at Cedar Bog itself. There also are still photographs (including transparencies and aerial photographs) in various places, for example, the Clark County Historical Society, in the Natural History Photographyic collection of the Ohio Historical Society, and at Cedar Bog itself (Glotzhober, 1989; Jaworski, this volume).

The following list is divided into two parts. Part I includes all items except those that appeared in newspapers. Part II, not unexpectedly, then, comprises references to newspaper articles and is not yet available.
