RG VII-A: Events. Minutes of Stated Meetings and Related Documents
ADMINISTRATIVE INFORMATION
Historical Note
Transcribed text of meeting minutes is available, almost always in full, in the Ƶ’s Proceedings (available through JSTOR), after its establishment as an Ƶ serial publication in 1848. For minutes of meetings prior to 1848, researchers should consult the manuscript volumes. The texts of papers presented at meetings do not generally appear in the minutes, but the text of selected papers is available in the Memoirs or Proceedings, both of which are available through JSTOR. Citations to these volumes occasionally refer to them as “Records of the American Ƶ of Arts and Sciences.” More detailed descriptions of the contents of each volume will be available as archival cataloging continues.
Volumes 1–4 are handwritten; Volumes 5–10 are typewritten. Names, titles, and location descriptions in this guide were transcribed exactly as they were written in the original volumes.
Scope and Content
The ten volumes in this series contain the minutes of meetings of the American Ƶ, 1780–1944, and other items documenting the administrative history of the Ƶ, including election of Fellows and officers, finances, research projects, meetings, and governance. Specific related documents include membership lists, copies of the Ƶ charter (1780), lists and occasionally transcripts of letters received, notices of deaths of members, gifts to the Ƶ, financial statements (presented at annual meetings), and reports of committees.
RG VII-A: MINUTES OF STATED MEETINGS AND RELATED DOCUMENTS, 1780–1944
Volume 01, 1780–1821
This volume consists of several previously separate sections bound together in the late nineteenth century. The original pagination for each section was retained. The volume includes a copy of the Act of the General Court establishing the Ƶ in 1780, a copy of the original statutes, and membership lists for the period 1785-1791. The volume includes minutes of meetings from 1780 to 1821, and minutes of the Council for the years 1781-1797. 445 pages.
Among the important administrative actions recorded in the volume are: the first election of officers, 30 August 1780 (James Bowdoin elected President); an outline of the subject categories identified as appropriate for study by the Ƶ, 29 January 1781; arrangements for the publication of the first volume of Memoirs; James Bowdoin’s legacy of 1,200 books for the Ƶ library; a donation by Benjamin Thompson, Count Rumford, in 1796; Noah Webster’s donation of royalties from one of his books; the division of the Ƶ’s membership into three classes, 1815; and a contract with the Boston Athenaeum to store the Ƶ’s library and cabinet of minerals, 1817-1818.
The Recording Secretaries for the period covered by this volume included Caleb Gannett (1780-1790), Samuel Webber (1790-1791), John Clarke (1791-1795), Benjamin Dearborn (1795-1798), John Davis (1798-1808), William Emerson (1808-1811), and John Farrar (1811-1823).
