Included is a rough outline for the biography and a working bibliography (folder 1); notes from various sources concerning Small (folders 2-3); copies of correspondence between William Small and Scottish engineer and inventor James Watt, 1768-1774, with additional research on Watt (folders 4-13); English manufacturer Matthew Boulton, 1772-1773, with additional notes on Boulton (folders 14-15); Benjamin Franklin, 1769-1771, with notes (folders 16-17); and Thomas Jefferson, 1775, with notes on Jefferson (folders 18-21) and on Isaac Jefferson, one of Thomas Jefferson's slaves (folder 22). Also included is research on implied or unlocated Small correspondence (folder 23) and research on the College of William and Mary, where Small taught natural philosophy and mathematics, 1758-1764 (folders 24-34). Also included are biographical notes on Small's contemporaries and others, including English physician and natural philisopher Erasmus Darwin; British author and abolitionist Thomas Day; Anglican priest Gabriel d'Emiliane; Anglo-Irish politician, writer and inventor Richard Lovell Edgeworth; tobacco merchant Joseph Farrell; Governor of Virginia Francis Fauquier; College of William and Mary faculty member Hugh Jones and family; Scottish chemist and inventor James Keir; Pennsylvania physician, author and educator Benjamin Rush; physician and tenth president of the College of William and Mary John Augustine Smith; Scottish Presbyterian ministers William, Robert (1687-1762), Robert (1719-1798), David (d. 1850?), and William (b. 1712) Trail; Virginia planter, judge, and governor, William and Mary alumnus, and tenth President of the United States John Tyler; Welsh explorer and privateer Lionel Wafer; and English scientist and physician William Withering (folders 35-50).

One other interesting component of Swem's correspondence was World War II: draft classifications; Ganter's and E. G. Swem's son Earl's drafts and service in the U. S. Army; gas rationing; and John Jennings' choice of employment at the U.S. Navy Mine Depot (Yorktown, Va.) in lieu of active service in the U.S. Army. The correspondence ends with Ganter's acceptance of a position as college archivist at William and Mary, a position he held until retirement in 1974 (folders 74-77).

Gilpin, Joshua, 1765-1841. Journals and notebooks, 1790-1833 [microform].

Title: Journals and notebooks, 1790-1833 [microform].

The records consist of 62 pocket journals and notebooks, the bulk of which date from Gilpin's European tour of 1795-1801. Gilpin was a careful observer who recorded both conventional travel narratives and site descriptions and collected data on political and social conditions, wages, and the standard of living. His perspective was that of a Quaker with reforming impulses, exemplified by his interest in prisons and education. His extensive travels gave him a more cosmopolitan outlook than most Philadelphia Quakers, and he absorbed many tastes and attitudes of the English gentry with whom he lived.
