Diary of a traveler from Vienna, Austria, with the surname Rehn to the United States in 1869. The author describes his travel to cities in the Middle Atlantic and Midwest regions--Washington, Philadelphia, New York, Pittsburgh, Cincinnati, Cleveland, and Chicago. He comments on the technology (factories, machines, railways, etc.) and architecture (bridges, buildings, social facilities, etc.) he sees. The diary contains a variety of sketches, including sketches of buildings, floor diagrams, bridges, etc. Also included are a travel diary for a trip to Italy in 1875; four engravings of Viennese buildings, 1856-1875; and two geological maps, 1866-1873. In German.

This is an interesting and detailed journal of his trip to America and travels therein. Using Philadelphia as his base, Beck commented on the city's society and institutions, and mentions locals, including an interesting note on Titian R. Peale. Other areas visited included: Atlantic City, St. Louis, Colorado, Utah, California and New York, where he visited the Bausch & Lomb Optical Company and Washington D.C., where he met, and described, artist Henry Ulke. The volume is filled with memorabilia: advertisements, photographs, playbills, menus, original pencil and watercolor sketches, some of machinery.

Fothergill writes to an English physician, J. Woodforde, from Bath and Bristol in England and from Philadelphia. The letters concern their common interests in medicine, with comments on current events, American and Philadelphia society, and medicine in the United States.

For many years referred to as the "Franz Boas Collection of American Indian Linguistics," this collection consists of a large body of linguistic and ethnographic material gathered together by Boas and many of his colleagues and students primarily from the 1890s to the 1940s. It contains the bulk of Boas's own fieldwork material, with the main exception of most of his Inuit and earliest Northwest Coast fieldwork. It contains the majority of the work sponsored by American Council of Learned Societies Committee on Native American Languages, which was directed by Franz Boas, Edward Sapir, Alfred Kroeber, and other academic linguists from 1927-1937. The collection, however, also contains related kinds of fieldwork and derived secondary materials created outside the auspices of this Committee, both earlier and later. The first deposit of the material arrivied in 1945. Subsequently, additional related materials were donated and added, as noted in the listings. Additionally, the documentary materials produced by some of the early projects (1945 to circa 1955) of the APS Phillips Fund for Native American Research were added to this collection. The collection has grown to over 80 linear feet of material representing at least 166 languages and dialects from the United States, Canada, and Mexico. The formats range from field notes and ethnographic texts to slip files, vocabularies, lexica, and grammars, and dozens of linguists and Native consultants are represented.
