Foreign Gazetteers of the U.S. Board on Geographic Names, published by Congressional Information Service (CIS) created at the suggestion of Stuart Basefsky

Stuart Basefsky requested that the Congressional Information Service (CIS) create a complete microfiche collection of the Foreign Gazetteers of the U.S. Board on Geographic Names. The Duke Collection was one of the primary sources for the compilation. As a result, Duke received the microfiche collection free of charge.

The need for this microfiche collection was suggested to CIS by Stuart M. Basefsky, Documents Reference and Map Librarian of the William R. Perkins Library at Duke University. We wish to thank Mr. Basefsky for the idea and the Perkins Library for lending us many gazetteers for filming. We also want to express our thanks to Gene Kubal and Hugh Howard and other staff at the Department of the Army Library and to staff at the U.S. Geological Survey for lending us numerous gazetteers.
