In 1836, a fire in the U.S. Patent Office destroyed most of the                 extant records, dating from 1790 to 1836, relating to patents,                  including the models (drawings).  Yet patent records are a rich                 source of primary information on technological change in the                    early days of American industrialization and, presently, it is                  exceedingly difficult to obtain more than a barely informative                  list of patent titles.  Dr. MacMurray's project to provide an                   inventory, index and precis of patents materials during this                    period opens new doors to scholars wishing to study the economy,                technology or material culture of the early decades of our                      Republic.                                                                                                                                                       Specifically, Dr. MacMurray offers to make more accessible to                   scholars the materials contained in the early U.S. patents by                   indexing the "restored" (those recorded anew after the fire) patents            and tying these and the "unrestored" patents of the same period                 together with other sources of information, such as patent                      assignments and litigation records.  Such reference works as                    those forthcoming from this project, which will be compiled with                careful attention to detail, are an important contribution to the               infrastructure of science and engineering.
