RG I-B-3: General records. Letterbooks — Bound. Volume 18

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. Increasingly, the majority of the volumes were composed of letters of acceptance. Beginning with Volume 17, the letterbooks are almost solely composed of this type of correspondence.

For the time period covered by Volume 18, the Presidents of the Academy were Charles Pickering Bowditch (1917-1919), Theodore William Richards (1919-1921) and George Foot Moore (1921-1924). The Corresponding Secretary was Harry Walter Tyler (1915-1924).

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. Beginning with Volume 17, 1915-1918, letterbooks increasingly recorded primarily the acceptance letters of the Academy’s members. 

Volume 18 contains letters and other documents received by the American Academy from 1918-1921. The majority of this incoming correspondence pertains to the election, resignation, and death of members. Other topics, of lesser number, include notices of member deaths, circulars from national and international scientific societies and institutions, announcements of international congresses and invitations to various institutional anniversaries. Of note is correspondence from 1917-1919 between the National Research Council and the Academy regarding the reorganization of the NRC. Also of note is correspondence surrounding the founding of the American Council of Learned Societies, established during a conference at the Academy at 28 Newbury St, on September 19, 1919. Some correspondence pertains to the financial and administrative activities of the Academy, such as the deposit of volumes from the Academy’s Library with the Massachusetts Historical Society in 1918.

Volume

1 volume contained within 2 document cases, Boxes 0290.1 and 0290.2 (0.5 linear feet).

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 unrelated documents on one support page are labeled a, b; enclosures or envelopes are labeled e.
