Title: United States Sanitary Commission records. Army and Navy Claim Agency archives 1861-1870

The United States Sanitary Commission established the Army and Navy Claim Agency (ANCA) in Washington, D.C. on April 1, 1864 to serve as the USSC’s central office to assist Union soldiers, sailors, and their families in prosecuting claims on the federal government for pensions, back pay, bounty, commutation of rations, prize money, and other benefits, without cost. The Army and Navy Claim Agency Archives comprise the records of the Army and Navy Claim Agency; the records of the Pension Agency, its predecessor organization; the registers and cash books of its subsidiary local agencies; and the records of two quasi-independent USSC claim agencies whose origins predate the establishment of the Army and Navy Claim Agency: the Protective War Claim Association of the State of New York, located in New York City, and the Protective War Claim and Pension Agency, located in Philadelphia.

Rhode Island College (1764-1804). Miscellaneous papers concerning Rhode Island College, 1763-1804.

Title: Miscellaneous papers concerning Rhode Island College, 1763-1804.

Consists of minutes, reports, correspondence, a charter, lists of subscribers, lists of members of the corporation, accounts, and library catalogs, dating from 1763 to 1804. The collection documents the grant from the General Assembly and the Governor of the Colony of R.I. for the establishment of a college, first located in Warren, R.I., in 1764, and then moved to Providence in 1770; the early history of the College's Corporation; the appropriation of financial support; students; the college library; and the impact of the Revolution on the College. The College was governed by a Corporation of two boards, Fellows and Trustees, each comprised of specific numbers of members from various Protestant denominations. However, there were no religious requirments for students and in 1770 the Corporation expressly stated that Jewish students would be admitted to the College. Stephen Hopkins was Chancellor of the College from 1764 to 1785; Jabez Bowen was Chancellor from 1785 to 1815. James Manning was President of the College from 1765 to 1791; Jonathan Maxcy served as the second President from 1792 to 1802. Collecting financial support for the College was of major concern for the Corporation and money was usually raised through subscriptions. Baptist clergy, including Morgan Edwards, who traveled to Great Britain, and Hezekiah Smith in Ga. and S.C., solicted subscriptions on behalf of the college. The competition between R.I. towns, especially Newport and Providence, for the final location of the college is documented in the collection. Members of the Brown family (Nicholas, Joseph, John, and Moses) were instrumental in the the 1770 decision to locate the College in Providence and were responsible for building the college edifice. Nicholas Brown (1769-1841) gave a $5000 endowment in 1804 and the College was subsequently named Brown University. The development of the college library is documented through orders for books, letters related to the donation of books,and library catalogs. Student conduct, admissions, commencements, tuition, and fees for commons and boarding are documented through the Corporation minutes and correspondence. During the Revolution the College was closed. The college edifice was used as a barracks for American troops from 1776 to 1780 and was a hospital for French militia from 1786 to 1792. After the war, the College sought compensation from Congress for the damages done during the occupation. A speech given by George Washington at the College on Aug. 19, 1790, is in the collection.
