Naples (Italy). Questionnaire: 2 pages. Notes: "Naples 1 and Naples 2" and in French
Manuscripts
This collection is arranged in two parts--Manuscripts and Correspondence. While the bulk of the collection contains questionnaires ("Modele de La Formule No. 4") and surveys ("Liste No. II") written in French, select materials contain correspondence, publication announcements, and various drafts of Green's publication of Andrea Alciati and His Books of Emblems: A Biographical and Bibliographical Study, which was later published in 1872. Museums, university libraries, public libraries, personal libraries, and other institutions throughout Europe and the United States responded to Green's request to locate such materials. Such organizations included the Hague Royal Library, the Sir William Stirling-Maxwell Library, the Cambridge University Library, the Coppenhagen Royal Library, the Amiens Library, the Royal Library of the University of Turin, the Leuven University Library, and much more. Recipients who acted as the liaisons for the aforementioned repositories included modern emblem specialists (G.S. Cautley and Sir William Stirling-Maxwell), librarians, and library staff. Since a large extent of the materials received were written in English, French, German, and Italian, different spelling variation of the name Andrea Alciati were used including Andreas Alciatus and Andrea Aliciato.

Manuscripts
The 53 notebooks in this collection include notes, charts, calculations, measurements, drawings, and other observations recorded by Los Angeles city engineer, Frank Henry Olmsted, and other surveyors affiliated with the civil engineering firm Olmsted and Gillelen. The surveys include sewers, reservoirs, ditches, dams, and other water supply and sanitation structures that were located primarily in Los Angeles County; Riverside, San Bernardino, San Diego and Ventura counties are also represented, as well as various regions in northern California and Arizona. The notebooks provide details relating to the design and construction of municipal water systems, and data concerning water distribution and consumption levels throughout southern California and Arizona during the early twentieth century. The notebooks are arranged in alphabetical order; titles are taken from the spines and front covers of the notebooks; many of the notebooks are undated. The majority of notebooks are in fragile condition and several contain loose items laid into the notebooks.
