Henry Family.

Joseph Henry (1797-1878) had careers as scientist, teacher, promoter of research, and administrator, which are documented in depositories throughout the world. The majority of the documentation in the Smithsonian Archives consists of secretarial records dating from 1865 to 1878 and his collection of personal and professional papers.

A letterpress edition of Henry's papers is being produced by the Joseph Henry Papers, a cooperative editorial project located at the Smithsonian Institution. The Joseph Henry Papers holds no original documents, but it does have extensive information on the location of Henry documents which is utilized by the Smithsonian Archives in answering research inquiries.
