Scope and Contents

From the Collection: This collection contains J. D. Barron's research materials and correspondence relating to Alabama place names with roots in Native American languages.

Barron's notes are contained in one notebook of handwritten definitions of Native American place names. Initial entries are written in pen, while later edits are written in pencil. The notebook includes definitions of Creek, Chickasaw, and Choctaw words.

The collection also includes six letters written between 1887 and 1906 related to his research. Most of the letters discuss dictionaries, journal articles, and other published resources related to Native American languages.

Barron's research on Native American languages appears to have never been published.
