Minutes and Correspondence of the Academy of Natural Sciences of Philadelphia 1812-1924

These holdings were largely brought together by Edward Nolan for his history to celebrate the 100th anniversary.

The materials published here in microfilm form have always been locked away in the Academy¿s hall & always remained in the custody of the librarian.
