William Stetson Merrill

William Stetson Merrill (1886-?) was an American information scientist and historian. He was the author of A Code for Classifiers in the period 1912-1939, and connected to the American Library Association.[1][2] He was also a scholar on Vinland.

His book A Code for Classifiers is still under scrutiny in the field of information studies.[3][4][5]

He wrote extensively on the Norse discovery of Vinland, and on the scholarship surrounding these studies.[6] His article The Vinland Problem Through Four Centuries (1935) is a review of available theories about Thorfinn Karlsefni's voyages and the Saga of Erik the Red.[7]
