Series I, subseries I. (Maya Calendar Charts) is a rich variety of materials comprised of mathematical equations, tables, illustrated glyphs and printed plates which are often intermingled. Within this subseries, there also exists the inclusion of several photographs which do not belong in the subseries "glyph photographs." Some of the materials in this subseries were divided into sections by Goodman. There are two printed plates entitled "Reconstruction of Lunar Cycle" as well as several plates from the hieroglyphic stairway, ruins of Copan [Memoirs of the Peabody Museum, v. 1, (6), 1902] contained in this subseries. Series II, subseries II ("Memoirs") contains material which partially documents Joseph Goodman's solutions to the inscriptions of the Maya glyphs and the Maya calendar from his initial interest in 1883 through to his work with Maudslay in 1895.
