The publication status of the manuscript is updateable, and

Rock Art Library
The UCLA Rock Art Archive Library is limited by the amount 
of space we have available to shelve books. Nonetheless, we 
have acquired 460 volumes dealing specifically with rock art 
in California, the Far West, and the Pacific Islands, and with 
some other areas of the world as well. The volumes are 
ordered by title, author, publisher, and date of publication;
 some are rare or signed copies, and many have been donated 
by the researches closely associated with our collections. 
The library is non-circulating, and some of the volumes in the 
collection are fragile or not available for research use except 
by special arrangement.
