| | Creator: | Harlan, Richard, 1796-1843 | Requires cookie* | | | Title: | Richard Harlan Journals
| | | | Dates: | 1816-1817, 1833 | | | | Abstract: | The natural historian Richard Harlan was a pioneer in the study of comparative anatomy and vertebrate paleontology in the United States during the years following the War of 1812. Having received his medical degree from the University of Pennsylvania in 1818, Harlan was employed as an instructor of anatomy at Joseph Parrish's school and at the Philadelphia Museum. A practicing physician and member of the Academy of Natural Sciences of Philadelphia and the American Philosophical Society, Harlan made important contributions in comparative neuroanatomy, paleontology, herpetology, and systematic zoology. He died shortly after moving to New Orleans in 1839.
Harlan's journals document two of the three overseas voyages he undertook during his lifetime. The first took place in 1816-1817 when Harlan was still a medical student, accompanying an East Indiaman to Calcutta as ship's surgeon. The second took place when Harlan was at the peak of his career in 1833, venturing to England, France, and Italy to strengthen contacts with European colleagues. Interesting travel narratives in themselves, the journals mingle enthusiasm for the new and exotic with a touch of Harlan's truculance. The European journal includes a valuable account of the 3nd meeting of the British Association for the Advancement of Science at Cambridge at which Harlan delivered a paper on fossil reptiles. | | | | Call #: | Mss.B.H228 | | | | Extent: | 2.0 Volume(s) | | | | Sections: |

| | Creator: | Lee, Richard Henry, 1732-1794 | Requires cookie* | | | Title: | Richard Henry Lee Papers
| | | | Dates: | 1763-1823 | | | | Abstract: | A politician and arch revolutionary, Richard Henry Lee was an impassioned supporter of American independence from the mid-1760s. Born into one of the most prominent families in the colony on January 20, 1732, Lee was bred to a political life, serving in the Virginia House of Burgesses during the Stamp Act and Non-importation crises, helping convey his state into the revolutionary camp. As a delegate to the Continental Congress, Lee was the first to officially move that a declaration of independence be drafted, and he ended his public career as a principled opponent of ratification of the Constitution and as Virginia's first U.S. Senator. He died at home in Virginia in June 1794.
A small, but highly valuable collection, the papers of Richard Henry Lee document the political life and activities of one of the most ardent revolutionaries in Virginia. The 0.5 linear feet of letters (193 items), most addressed to Lee, are an important resource for study of pre-Revolutionary political agitation in Virginia, the increasing connections forged between the colonies, and the political course of the war. To a lesser degree the collection documents Lee's late-life anti-federalism. Among the major correspondents are Lee's brothers Arthur and William, and such leaders in the revolutionary cause as George Washington, Samuel Adams, Charles Lee, John Adams, and Thomas Paine. | | | | Call #: | Mss.B.L51 | | | | Extent: | 0.5 Linear feet | | | | Sections: |

| | Creator: | Parnell, Richard,1810-1882. | Requires cookie* | | | Title: | Richard Parnell Notebook
| | | | Dates: | 1839-1840 | | | | Abstract: | In 1839-1840, the ichthyologist Richard Parnell left London for a collecting expedition to Jamaica and a tour of museum collections in the United States. An authority on both fishes and grasses, Parnell published two noted works as a young man, his
Prize Essay on the Natural and Economical History of the Fishes Marine, Fluviatile, and Lacustrine, of the River District of the Firth of Forth (Edinburgh: Neill and Co., 1838) and
The Grasses of Britain, 2 vols. (Edinburgh: Blackwood, 1842-1845). He appears, however, to have abandoned publication in 1845, although he continued collecting for many years.
The notebook kept by Richard Parnell during his voyage to the West Indies and United States in 1839-1840 contains little narrative, but dozens of pencil and watercolor sketches of the marine life that absorbed his interest, primarily fishes. Most sketches are accompanied by brief notes on the anatomy of the fish, sometimes with close-ups of fin structures, air bladders, or the digestive tract and stomach. Although collecting localities are seldom recorded, the majority of specimens seem to have been collected in Jamaica, with at least a few observed in vitro at the New York Museum. | | | | Call #: | Mss.597.P24n | | | | Extent: | 1.0 Volume(s) | | | | Sections: |

| | Creator: | Price, Richard, 1723-1791 | Requires cookie* | | | Title: | Richard Price Papers
| | | | Dates: | 1767-1790 | | | | Abstract: | The Welsh non-conformist minister Richard Price (1723-1791) was a moral philosopher and political and economic theorist whose ideas leant support to the American cause during the Revolution. Of broad and liberal mind, he was an integral member of the intellectual coterie surrounding William Petty, the Earl of Shelburne, and was a founding member of the Unitarian Church.
Befitting a latitudinarian thinker, the range of Richard Price's correspondence is extremely broad, touching upon his rationalistic philosophy and dissenting theology, his political views on British politics, America and the American Revolution, the Constitutional settlement, the future of the United States, social reform, demography, prisons, and slavery. The ninety letters in the collection are arranged chronologically, with correspondents including Charles Chauncy (8 letters, 1772-1779), Benjamin Franklin (7 letters, 1775-1789), John Howard (11 letters and a biographical manuscript, 1770-1789), Thomas Jefferson (3 letters, 1785-1789), Benjamin Rush (8 letters, 1786-1790), and Edward Wigglesworth (3 letters, 1775-1786), as well as lesser known figures such as the reformer John Howard. | | | | Call #: | Mss.B.P93 | | | | Extent: | 90.0 items | | | | Sections: |

| | Creator: | Rockefeller Institute. | Requires cookie* | | | Title: | Rockefeller Institute. Meningitis Records
| | | | 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: | 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: |

| | Creator: | Höber, Rudolf, b. 1873 | Requires cookie* | | | Title: | Rudolf Höber Papers
| | | | Dates: | 1886-1961 | | | | Abstract: | One of hundreds of German scholars displaced by the Nazis after 1933, Rudolf Höber was an early proponent of applying physicochemical methods to the analysis of the physiology of cell membranes, particularly their role in the regulation of transport, permeability, and electrical properties. For many years his
Physikalische Chemie der Zelle und Gewebe (1902) and
Lehrbuch der Physiologie des Menschen (1919) were the standard works in their field.
The Höber Papers consist of five linear feet of family correspondence, with a small number of professional letters scattered throughout. Although Höber's physiological research, per se, is seldom discussed, the letters provide insight into the family life and privileged social milieu of a member of the German intellectual elite in the years prior to and immediately after the First World War, his loss of position after the rise to power of the Nazis, and the conditions of his emigration to the United States, his adjustment to American life, and his attempts to bring the remainder of his family to safety during the late 1930s. The collection is arranged in two series, Correspondence (Series I, 5.5 lin. feet), which is arranged chronologically, and Publications and miscellaneous (Series II, 0.5 lin. feet), which is arranged alphabetically. | | | | Call #: | Mss.Ms.Coll.44 | | | | Extent: | 6.0 Linear feet | | | | Sections: |
