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 3, the Presidents of the Academy were John
Adams (1791-1814) and Edward Augustus Holyoke (1814-1820). The
Corresponding Secretaries were John Quincy Adams (1802-1809) and Josiah Quincy
(1809-1823).
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 3 contains letters and other documents received by the American Academy
from 1803 to 1818. Most of this incoming correspondence pertains to the election of
members and other administrative duties. Other significant topics include
publication of the Academy Memoirs, donations of publications to the Academy
Library, donations of specimen to the Academy Cabinet, and to a lesser degree,
correspondence with other national and international academic societies. A small
portion of materials related to a range of scientific subjects are those on natural
science, mortality, and meteorology. Scientific information was submitted in the
form of descriptions of experiments, observations, reports and speeches, specimens
and samples, maps and sketches, and data sets.

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.
The letterbooks in Series I-B-1 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. Pages numbered with a “v” indicate
that the document was pasted to the verso of the preceding page, and normally
relates to document on the following page.
