| | | | Dates: | 1884-1918 | | | | Abstract: | One of Philadelphia's most recognized geographers at the turn of the twentieth century, Henry Grier Bryant (1859-1932) was an explorer, traveler, and writer known for an avid interest in the arctic. His financial independence enabled Bryant to devote his life to expanding geographic knowledge, as an officer of the Geographic Society of Philadelphia and Alpine Club of America, and as an explorer and traveler to Labrador, Greenland, the Canadian Rockies, South America, and southern and southeast Asia.
The Bryant Letterbooks include an important slice of outgoing correspondence from the geographer and explorer, Henry G. Bryant, documenting his interest in geography and exploration. The four volumes consist of letterpress copies of outgoing correspondence (1884-1890, 1899-1902, 1902-1903, and 1913-1918) concerning personal and financial matters as well as business conducted as an officer of the Geographical Society of Philadelphia and Alpine Club of America. The collection also includes three folders of correspondence addressed to Bryant, 1886-1911, mostly pertaining to the Alpine Club. | | | | Call #: | Mss.Ms.Coll.38 | | | | Extent: | 0.75 Linear feet | | | | Sections: |

| 18 | Creator: | Jackson, Isaac | Requires cookie* | | | Title: | Isaac Jackson Letterbooks
| | | | Dates: | 1839-1843 | | | | Abstract: | Isaac Jackson managed several estates in northern Jamaica during the years of transition from slavery to free labor. Based in Hanover Parish, County of Cornwall, Jackson oversaw the interests of as many as a dozen estates engaged in the production of sugar and other crops, rum, and cattle during the 1830s and 1840s.
Jackson's letterbooks contain approximately 825 letters pertaining to the daily management of Jamaican plantations. Beginning just a year after the end of apprenticeship, the mostly formulaic letters addressed to absentee British landowners, their attorneys, ship captains, and other estate managers touch on sugar and rum production and crop yields and cattle husbandry, but more importantly, they map out the course of the hard-edged negotiations between landowners and laborers as they struggled to shape the new labor regime. | | | | Call #: | Mss.B.J134 | | | | Extent: | 3.0 Volume(s) | | | | Sections: |

Heiser, who was a preeminent public health physician, created a rich archive of material documenting all phases of his career, especially the international health work of the Rockefeller Foundation from 1913-1934. There are voluminous, detailed, and interesting diaries for the whole course of this life (ca. 68 v., 1908-1972). There are notebooks reflecting on his early training and work (21 v., 1890-1907), and 3 volumes from lectures he attended at Jefferson Medical College in Philadelphia (grad., 1898). | | | | Call #: | Mss.B.H357.p | | | | Extent: | 25.0 Linear feet | | | | Sections: |
