Library & Research

The following is a list of current research, consisting of primary and secondary sources. The list comprise every single resource tapped, even if it provides no relevant information. Those are listed but struck through. Some resources are listed because it reference a Callaway name, but no association with a specific person has been made. This page is primarily for those researching, to insure that unnecessary repetition and inefficient use of time is avoided (i.e. to keep me from beating my head against the wall).

All sources are listed by title, in alpha order and segmented by primary and secondary sources:
