Quimby, Ian M. G. Silver research papers, ca.1962-ca.1996.

Title: Silver research papers, ca.1962-ca.1996.

The bulk of the papers relate to American silversmiths of the 17th, 18th, and early 19th centuries. This material was probably collected while Mr. Quimby was researching his book American Silver at Winterthur, although he also gathered information about silver owned by other museums. He collected biographical information on the silversmiths as well as information about their marks and the items which they made. Some photographs are included in the silversmith files, while other photos and slides are filed separately. Some information about the publication of the book American Silver at Winterthur is found in the papers. The collection also includes information about the acquisition of silver by Henry Francis du Pont; all this information is believed to be copies of materials in the Winterthur Archives. Mr. Quimby was interested in the technical analysis of the content of silver made by early American silversmiths, and the results of testing undertaken by Winterthur's Conservation Lab are included. As well, the collection contains copies of talks and lectures given by Mr. Quimby; articles written by him; information pertaining to professional organizations to which he belonged, especially the Decorative Arts Society (DAS) and the Society of Architectural Historians (SAH); and some personal correspondence and other personal papers. As a side line, Mr. Quimby assisted Pamela Cunningham Copeland with the editing and publishing of her memoirs, and copies of the galleys and correspondence about this project are found.

Title: William Jacob Robbins papers, 1896-1974 1896-1974

William Jacob Robbins (1890-1978, APS 1941) was a botanist and physiologist. From 1937 to 1957 he was director of the New York Botanical Garden.

His studies paralleled the scientific agenda of the Rockefeller Foundation, an agency with which he was closely associated for years as adviser and trustee. He was perhaps the most influential botanist in the National Academy of Sciences (NAS) during the early postwar era, and a principal participant in the plans for the global reconstruction of science. Robbins served as president of the American Philosophical Society from 1956 to 1959.
