Biographical Note

LARG was formed as a cooperative of anthropologists and librarians in the Chicago area institutions including the Field Museum, Loyola University, Northeastern University, Northwestern University, Roosevelt University, the University of Chicago, and the University of Illinois, Chicago Circle Campus. The group discussed the bibliographic needs in the field of anthropology and explored the development of useful reference publications.
