- Note
- This series consists primarily of autograph letters and signatures collected and assembled by George Brown Goode. Also included are smaller amounts of manuscripts, poems, photographs, drawings, and engravings. Goode collected autograph letters of American and foreign scientists, naturalists, and anthropologists; government officials and diplomats; artists and literary figures; military and naval officers; and leading figures in Washington, D.C. scientific and social circles. The autograph collection represents a significant portion of Goode's official and professional correspondence since most of the letters were pulled from his files. Also included are a small amount of letters addressed to Joseph Henry, Spencer F. Baird, William Greene Binney, William Phipps Blake, Fielding Bradford Meek, Francis Markoe, Peter Force, and others. Goode also purchased or otherwise acquired letters and signatures of many historical figures.
