RG I-B-1: General records. Letterbooks — Bound. Volume 09
ADMINISTRATIVE INFORMATION
Historical note
The Academy has received letters, announcements, and other forms of correspondence since the founding in 1780. All such correspondence was the responsibility of the Corresponding Secretary, one of the original officers of the Academy. Beginning sometime in the late 1800s, incoming letters were pasted into bound scrapbooks, which the Academy referred to as “letterbooks.” This practice continued until 1988, when staff began saving correspondence in folders.
For the time period covered by Volume 9, the President of the Academy was Joseph Lovering (1880-1892). The Corresponding Secretary was Josiah Parsons Cooke (1873-1892).
Scope and Content
The series of Letterbooks in its entirety includes letters from newly-elected Fellows, formally accepting their elections; communications with other learned societies (especially, invitations to attend meetings or send representatives to official events, and offers to exchange publications); correspondence concerning gifts of books, maps, and natural history specimens; and inquiries from members and nonmembers regarding the submission and publication of articles.
Volume 9 contains letters, circulars and other documents received by the American Academy during 1888-1891. Most are in the form of incoming correspondence from members acknowledging their election. A much smaller number of materials are scientific and are mostly related to meteorology and geography. Scientific information was submitted in the form of observations and reports. Other topics include notices of member deaths, circulars from national and international scientific societies and institutions, announcements, and calls for papers. Of particular interest are several letters surrounding the Paris Exposition of 1889 and the 800th Anniversary of Studio Bolognese.
Arrangement
The Academy has begun disbinding the volumes and conserving the individual letters, and will continue that practice until all letters are in stable condition. The letterbooks in Series I-B are arranged numerically by volume number. Within each volume, the original order of the pages has been retained. Generally the records are arranged in chronological order. Multiple documents on one support page are labeled a, b.
