"In addition to describing the methods followed in canning the fishery products now before the public, an effort has been made to describe certain species which are suitable for canning, but which have hitherto been neglected for various causes, and to show the processes which would be most likely to succeed in their handling and packing. The available supplies of these species, when and where they are to be obtained, and the best methods for catching them, are also described. In this the author has not confined himself to the United States, but has included, so far as possible, species which are found also in Canada, Mexico, and Central America"--From introduction.

Visual Materials
The C.C. Pierce collection constitutes one of the most important collections of historical photographs of early California and Los Angeles extant. The collection of 10,100 prints was assembled by Charles C. Pierce, a photographer and long-time operator of a thriving Los Angeles photographic business. The collection is divided into nine topical headings devised by Pierce; these include Los Angeles Historical; Indians; Missions; California cities, counties, etc.; Industries and Agriculture; Transportation; Natural History; Art and Architecture; and Miscellaneous Scenery. Within these large sections are smaller categories that focus on the history, landscape, people, civic and cultural events, built environment, and development of Southern California and the Southwest from approximately 1845-1930. Of particular interest are the various Indian tribes depicted as well as all twenty-one of the California Missions.
