College Research Library at the Center of Southwest Studies for people
needing specific reading materials for this area. Materials may not be
removed from the library. John Sanders’ personal library includes several hundred books of an archaeological nature—books concerning not only the Anasazi, but the Fremont, Mogollon, Hohokam, and other ancient occupants of the Southwest, plus books and site reports concerning the Navajo, Apaches, Hopis, early Anglo miners and Indian traders, and other people who arrived here in the past. John would be willing to lend books to those SJBAS members who would agree to return them in a timely fashion. |
