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 7, the Presidents of the Academy were Asa Gray (1863-1873), Charles Francis Adams (1873-1880), and Joseph Lovering (1880- 1892). The Corresponding Secretaries were Joseph Lovering (1869-1873) and 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 non- members regarding the submission and publication of articles.
Volume 7 contains letters and other documents received by the American Academy from 1872 to 1880. Most are in the form of incoming correspondence from members acknowledging their election. Other topics include notices of member deaths, circulars from national and international scientific societies and institutions, announcements, and calls for papers.
Volume
1 volume contained within 1.5 document cases (0.75 linear feet)
Arrangement
The Academy has begun disbinding the volumes of letterbooks and conserving the individual letters, and will continue that practice until all letters are in stable condition.
