Mathematician and naturalist. Principally correspondence, with some printed material, clippings, specimen lists, resolutions, and miscellany. The papers, chiefly, 1838-1894, relate mainly to Gibbes' career as professor of mathematics, physics, and astronomy at the College of Charleston (S. C.) and his correspondence with other scientists on the subjects of astronomy, physics, geology, meteorology, chemistry, botany, and zoology. Other subjects relate to the American Association for the Advancement of Science and the Smithsonian Institution ... An addendum to the collection contains correspondence of James McBride (1784-1817), botanist of South Carolina, including letters from Thomas Smith GrimkeĢ and John C. Calhoun, the latter discussing matters relating to the War of 1812.
