AMERICAN POSTAL MICRO-CABINET CLUB. Papers, 1875-87. 7 items. Collection 67

Founded at Troy, New York, 1875, for the circulation, study and discussion of microscopic objects on slides. The papers include rules of the club and lists of members; discussions of the slides with some drawings for the years 1875-87; the “Floral Diary” of E. A. Rau, 1865-76; and a list of plants collected by his father Simon Rau, for his 1837 and 1838 herbaria. News clippings about the Lehigh Valley, the Easton, and the Bethlehem Microscopical Societies are tipped in. Linné's Dial of Flora is found on page 89 of the Floral Diary.

Archived from the Botanical Department, 1952 and 1957, presumably donated to the Academy at the time Mr. Rau's papers came to this institution.
