"An account of books belonging to the late library wch were in the hands of the senior sophisters when it was consumed by fire," ca. 1764

This list appears to be in the hand of Andrew Eliot, Librarian from 1763 to 1767. Books are listed according to format (folio, quarto, octavo) and entries indicate the surname of the student who checked the book out, its author and title, and whether or not the book had since been "returned and sent down." Some entries indicate unusual locations, including "says he returned it to the Pres[ident]" and "Dr. Marsh has it."

"Continuation of the acco[unt] of books saved from the Fire by being borrow'd," ca. 1764

Lists books borrowed by those with surnames Wyeth, Goodhue, Eliot, Langdon, Adams, Apthorp, Bowdoin, Chardon, and Mayhew. Entries include format, title, author, and volume number. Written in multiple hands.

"A list of books borrowed from the former Library & not yet return'd," ca. 1764

Lists books borrowed by many individuals, including Governor William Shirley, Colonel Brinley, General Brattle, Secretary Willard, Judge Danforth, Colonel Wendell, Thomas Oliver, Christ Bridge Marsh, and Francis Foxcroft. Entries include the author and title of the borrowed volumes.

"A Catalogue of Books Proposed for the New Hampshire donation," 1765

This catalog contains suggested purchases to be made with book purchasing funds provided by the Province of New Hampshire. Verso reads: "At a meeting of the President & Fellows of Harvard College – Voted that the above catalogue prepared by the Committee be accepted [signed] Edward Holyoke Presdt."

"A Catalogue of Books Proposed for the Hancock donation," 1765

This catalog contains suggested purchases to be made with book purchasing funds provided by John Hancock. Verso reads: "At a meeting of the President & Fellows of Harvard College – Voted that the above catalogue prepared by the Committee be accepted [signed] Edward Holyoke Presdt."

List of books donated by the Society for Propagating the Gospel in Foreign Parts, added to catalog on Nov. 24, 1766

The document indicates that these books had been "presented" but "not consumed" at an earlier date; presumably this means that they were received at an earlier date but not formally accessioned into the library collection. Endorsed title is "Episcopal Society's present," which implies that the Episcopal Society and the Society for Propagating the Gospel in Foreign Parts are the same organization.

Lists of books which came to the Library on May 10, 1769

Lists purchased books which arrived in two trunks, as well as books sent by Dr. Winthrop. All the books listed were entered into the catalog in October 1770.
