 Abstract:  These two volumes contain the meteorological records Peter Legaux kept for fourteen years in Spring Mill, Pennsylvania. One portion contains his correspondence to the American Philosophical Society in which he explains his methods for recording data. The materials dated 1801 were addressed to Thomas Jefferson, then president of the APS. The second part of the collection contains the raw data. Also included in the data collection are records from the 1740s to the 1770s for Philadelphia that are believed to be done by Phineas [possibly Israel] Pemberton.

4Author:  Burd, James, 1726-1793Requires cookie*
 Title:  Burd-Shippen Papers     
 Dates:  1708-1792 
 Abstract:  This collection is one of the largest early American collections the APS holds. Its breadth of sources provides insight into colonial Pennsylvania history, especially that of Lancaster County. Although largely material composed of material from James Burd, there are also significant documents relating to the Shippen family. Documents touch on matters financial, political, and social. While the collection is of wide ranging material, its strength lies in three main parts: the Seven Years' War and Pontiac's Rebellion in Pennsylvania, Burd's business records, and life in Lancaster County from 1754-1776.
