| | Creator: | Ramberg, E. G., (Edward Granville), 1907- | Requires cookie* | | | Title: | Edward G. Ramberg Papers
| | | | Dates: | 1916-1994 | | | | Abstract: | A physicist and social activist, Edward G. Ramberg contributed to the early development of electron microscopy and color television, and devoted much of his life to pacifist and Quaker causes. Born in Italy to an American mother and German father, Ramberg experienced the losses of war firsthand during the First World War when his father was killed while serving with the German army. After moving to the United States with his mother, Ramberg attended Reed College and Cornell University before returning to Germany for postdoctoral study under Arnold Sommerfeld. Employed at RCA for most of his career (1935-1972), Ramberg refused any involvement in military or war-related research, and as a conscientious objector during the Second World War, was assigned to duty in Civilian Public Service camps. He continued to work in fostering social harmony until late in life. With his wife, Sarah Sargent, a Swarthmore graduate whom he met through the American Friends Service Committee, Ramberg helped to establish Bryn Gweled, a cooperative community in which people of various religious, social, and racial backgrounds lived and worked together.
The bulk of the Ramberg papers consists of files pertaining to his work with Amnesty International, the American Friends Service Committee, and peace groups in the Philadelphia and Bucks County region. Of particular note is a bundle of correspondence with Sommerfeld. | | | | Call #: | Mss.Ms.Coll.88 | | | | Extent: | 11.5 Linear feet | | | | Sections: |

| | | | Dates: | 1951-2004 | | | | Abstract: | The Reina Papers contain the professional papers of cultural anthropologist Ruben E. Reina (1924- ). Reina is an emeritus professor of anthropology and curator of ethnology who taught at the University of Pennsylvania and worked at that institution’s University Museum of Archeology and Anthropology from 1957-1990. Broadly interested in modern and historical cultures of Central America, South America, and Spain, he is most widely known for his contributions to the study of the culture and peoples of Guatemala. The collection contains Reina’s correspondence, administrative records, teaching materials, research notes, subject files, and written works from his career. Of particular interest are the notes from his fieldwork in Guatemala, Argentina, Spain, and Puerto Rico. A further significant component of the papers is the records of the Hispanic-Latin American Research Project. Reina served as director of the long-term project (1967-1988), during which a team of scholars compiled thousands of pages of Spanish colonial materials from the Archivo General de Indias (AGI) in Seville, Spain and Archivos General de Centro America (AGCA) in Guatemala. The Reina Papers serve as a vital storehouse of this important historical material. | | | | Call #: | Mss.Ms.Coll.67 | | | | Extent: | 80.0 Linear feet | | | | Sections: |

| | | | Dates: | 1917-1969 | | | | Abstract: | A physician and naturalist, Oswald Hope Robertson worked at the Rockefeller Institute, the Peking Union Medical College, and at the medical school of University of Chicago (1927-1951). With a broad range of research interests, Robertson contributed important work on the transmission of pneumonia, the disinfection of air with glycol vapors, and later in his career, on the physiology and ecology of salmonid fishes. He is best remembered, however, as the creator of the first blood bank, established for use by British and American forces during the First World War.
The Robertson Papers contain correspondence, notes, articles, and notebooks on many of Robertson's major research interests, including his work on blood. His early work on salmonid ecology is represented in a journal and eleven notebooks stemming from fieldwork in the lakes of the Wind River Range in northwestern Wyoming, 1942-1951. There is also interesting material on the Research Corporation (New York City) concerning patents on glycol vapors and air sterilizers, as well as notes and manuscripts of papers on morphine experiments, canine pneumococcus, bacteremia, and the effects of hydrocortisone. | | | | Call #: | Mss.B.R546 | | | | Extent: | 7.0 Linear feet | | | | Sections: |

| | | | Dates: | Bulk, 1882-1908 | | | | Abstract: | A military officer and civilian superintendent of the École Polytechnique in Paris, Albert de Rochas became one of the best known psychic researchers in late nineteenth century France. His interests centered on uncovering the laws behind psychic forces, somnambulism, magnetism and mesmerism, hypnotism, perception, and reincarnation. A prolific writer, he studied a number of Spiritualist and Spiritist mediums, including Maria Mayo (Lina), Eusapia Paladino, and D. D. Home.
Despite the relatively small size of the collection, the papers of Albert de Rochas open an important window onto the development of psychic science in
fin de siecle France and onto the cultural impact of Spiritualism. The collection includes a scattered, but valuable selection of correspondence with fellow psychic researchers, editors, mediums, and other individuals interested in psychic research, and a valuable set of 69 spirit and psychic photographs, that Rochas collected as evidence of psychic forces, and as documentation of séances, mediums, and "sensitives." Rochas' work on the exteriorization of sensibility and studies of Lina, Charles Bailey, and Paladino are relatively well documented, and his interests in the laws of psychic phenomena, reincarnation, and the exmigration of the living soul run throughout. | | | | Call #: | Mss.Ms.Coll.106 | | | | Extent: | 4.0 Linear feet | | | | Sections: |

| | | | Dates: | 1907-1913 | | | | Abstract: | In 1892, the physician and medical administrator Simon Flexner began research on cerebrospinal meningitis, a meningococcal disease with an untreated mortality rate between 70 and 90%. Experimenting on monkeys, Flexner developed a promising serum treatment for the disease by 1903, which he used extensively during the epidemic outbreaks of meningitis in New York City in 1904-1905 and 1907. For several years, Flexner kept his serum under his close supervision, with the result that the Rockefeller Institute became the primary source for knowledge about meningitis and its treatment.
The 8 linear feet of Records amassed at the Rockefeller Institute between 1907 and 1913 document Simon Flexner's deployment of his serum treatment for cerebrospinal meningitis and his on-going interest in the epidemiology, etiology, and treatment of the disease. The collection consists largely of patient records, with data on hospitals and physicians to whom Flexner has dispensed his serum. | | | | Call #: | Mss.Ms.Coll.34 | | | | Extent: | 8.0 Linear feet | | | | Sections: |

| | | | Dates: | 1846-1903 | | | | Abstract: | After receiving his PhB at Yale's Sheffield Scientific School in 1858, Alfred P. Rockwell continued his studies at the Museum of Practical Geology in London and the Bergakademie Freiberg, focused largely on mining engineering and coal geology. After service in the Civil War, he held positions at Yale and MIT before leaving academia in 1873 to pursue other opportunities. He later served as president of the Eastern Rail Road and Treasurer of the Great Falls Manufacturing Company, a textile firm in New Hampshire.
The small collection of the papers of Alfred P. Rockwell document his interest in coal geology during the period of his postgraduate study at the Museum of Practical Geology and the Bergakademie, 1858-1859. Although the correspondence is slight, the collection includes a suite of notes on collieries, coal mining technology, and the economics of coal. Of particular note in the collection are the eight notebooks on mining engineering (some containing sketches), including two volumes of notes on John Percy's lectures at the Museum of Practical Geology, 1858, three volumes kept during his stay at the Bergakademie Freiberg, including one on a course on metallurgy taught by Bernhard von Cotta, 1858-1859, and one of an industrial tour through Germany and Belgium (June 1859). The other volumes include two on collieries in northern England, and one including of production records for the Great Falls Manufacturing Company, 1879-1886. | | | | Call #: | Mss.B.R59p | | | | Extent: | 0.5 Linear feet | | | | Sections: |

| | Creator: | Rogers, Robert,1731-1795. | Requires cookie* | | | Title: | Estimate of the Fur and Peltry Trade in the District of Michilimackinac
| | | | Dates: | 1767 | | | | Abstract: | A New Hampshireman and one of the most famous military figures in colonial America, Robert Rogers saw brief service in the militia during King George's War, but found fame as a commander of rangers during the Seven Years War. An efficient leader and crack woodsman, Rogers gained a hard driving reputation in leading his rangers against the Abnaki Indians at St. Francis Quebec, and for service at Quebec, Montreal, Fort Pitt, and Detroit. After voyaging to England in 1765 to advance his career, he was appointed to the command of Fort Michilimackinac at the tip of the southern peninsula of Michigan, but was recalled less than two years later for impropriety and suspected treason. He later offered his services to George Washington before serving in the Loyalist Queen's Rangers.
As Commander of Fort Michilimackinac from 1766-1768, Rogers sat at the critical nexus of the British fur trade, the point connecting the vast interior of the western Great Lakes and northern plains to the trading centers at Montreal and elsewhere in the east. His "Estimate of the Fur and Peltry Trade in the District of Michilimackinac, according to the bounds and limits, assign'd to it by the French, when under their government: together with an account of the situation and names of the several out-posts" is, as the title suggests, an overview of this most important area of economic activity. Rogers gave this manuscript to Jonathan Carver (the man he has sent on an expedition to find the Northwest Passage), who relayed it to Thomas Barton of Lancaster, Pa., who, in turn, sent it to the American Philosophical Society. It was received at the APS and referred to the Committee on Trade and Commerce on December 20, 1768. | | | | Call #: | Mss.970.1.R63 | | | | Extent: | 1.0 Volume(s) | | | | Sections: |

| | Creator: | Rorer, Sarah Tyson Heston, 1849-1937 | Requires cookie* | | | Title: | Emma Weigley Collection of Sarah Tyson Rorer Papers
| | | | Dates: | 1880-1976 | | | | Abstract: | Emma Weigley was a Professor of Nutrition and author of many publications on the topic. From 1964 to 1971, she wrote her doctoral dissertation about Sarah Tyson Rorer (1949-1937); a dietitian, educator, author, and editor of home economics and dietetics publications and cookbooks. This collection was assembled by Weigley as part of her research on Sarah Tyson Rorer. She wrote it initially for her dissertation, which was later published as part of the American Philosophical Society Memoirs series, "Sarah Tyson Rorer, The Nation's Instructress in Dietetics and Cookery". The collection includes Emma Weigley's correspondence (1964-1972) of letters between Weigley and potential information resources as well as her research notes. The materials from Sarah Tyson Rorer are primarily related to the Pension Fund (1933-1937) and her writings some of which are photocopies or on microfilm. There are also some photographs and negatives of Rorer and her cooking school. | | | | Call #: | Mss.Ms.Coll.136 | | | | Extent: | 9.0 Linear feet | | | | Sections: |

| | Creator: | Rous, Peyton, 1879-1970 | Requires cookie* | | | Title: | Peyton Rous Papers
| | | | Dates: | Circa 1917-1970 | | | | Abstract: | For his pioneering research on the link between viruses and cancer, the pathologist Francis Peyton Rous was awarded the Nobel Prize in Medicine in 1966. Working primarily at the Rockefeller Institute after 1909, Rous first came to notice for his theoretical construction of the first blood bank for use in France during World War I, a plan ultimately implemented by his assistant, Oswald H. Robertson. Subsequently, he left an important imprint on the development of experimental medicine, partly through his own research on the origins of cancer and his administrative activities at the Rockefeller, but also as editor of the
Journal of Experimental Medicine from 1921-1970.
The Rous Papers include correspondence, lectures, articles, reports, laboratory records, reprints, and photographs that document all aspects of the life and work of Peyton Rous. Reflecting his work at the Institute are letters of colleagues, information on assistants, and reports to the directors (1909-1959). Additional material relates to Rous' diverse organizational interests, including the American Cancer Society, Century Association, Jane Coffin Childs Memorial Fund for Medical Research (at Yale University), Federation of American Societies for Experimental Biology, Johns Hopkins University, National Academy of Sciences, National Research Council, New York Academy of Medicine, Royal Society of Medicine Foundation, and Sloan-Kettering Institute for Cancer Research. | | | | Call #: | Mss.B.R77 | | | | Extent: | 61.0 Linear feet | | | | Sections: |

| | Creator: | Rüze, C. F. | Requires cookie* | | | Title: | Grundsätze der teutschen landwirthschaft vorgetragen von Johann Beckmann
| | | | Dates: | ca. 1810 | | | | Abstract: | One of the broadest scholarly minds at the University of Göttingen during the eighteenth century, Johann Beckmann helped establish the theoretical basis for scientific agriculture in Germany and pioneered a rational approach to technological innovation and government.
The "Grundsätze der teutschen landwirthschaft" consists of exceptionally detailed notes kept by the otherwise unidentified C. F. Rüze on two well known works by the Göttingen scholar, Johann Beckmann. Organized page by page, apparently as Ruze worked his way through Beckmann's book, these are divided into two sections: "Einleitung in die teuchtschen Landwirthschaft überhaupt" (90p.), which are observations on
Grunsätze der Teutschen Landwirtschaft, and "Policey und Cameralwissenschaft" (87p.), which refers to Beckmann's
Beyträge zur Oekonomie, Technologie, Polizey und Camaralwissenschaft. | | | | Call #: | Mss.630.943.B38 | | | | Extent: | 1.0 Volume(s) | | | | Sections: |
