Prior to the development of the card catalog system, the Library's holdings were listed in ledger books. The Catalog Department was formally organized around 1924, after the card system had been in use for a number of years.

Records of the Catalog Department consist of two ledger books listing the holdings of the Library; entries give author, title, and other bibliographic information as well as shelf location.
