FYI - BAE Publications in PDF on Lexus-Nexus

Lexus-Nexus Academic has a good deal of the BAE Bulletins and Annual
Reports, but not a complete collection. Plus, L-N is arranged sort of funny.
I've found the BAEs in the "Congressional Section - Full Historical Texts"
area. Use very general search terms, like "ethnology" and "bulletin" or
"report". "Smithsonian" also brings up some others. Those terms will return
a selection with the report or bulletin number. So, it helps if you have the
BAE index ahead of time (that's available in several places).

You can also limit the search by "agency" (e.g. Bureau of Ethnology-Interior
or Bureau of Ethnology-Smithsonian). Believe it or not, those limits bring
up other BAEs.

Not much after 1920 or so, but a good representation pre-1920. That gives
you nearly all of Dorsey, LaFlesche, et. al.

Anyone know of other sites for historical documents and ethnologies?
