The Papers of Benjamin A. Gould, Jr., c. 1840-1897 The Papers of Benjamin A. Gould, Jr. were given by bequest to the Dudley Observatory upon the death of Seth A. Chandler, to whom they had been willed upon Gould's death in 1896. The Dudley Observatory also has in its library Gould's collection of rare astronomical books. These valuable books are housed at the Union College Special Collections. Researchers may also find materials on Gould in the Records of the Dudley Observatory, the Records of the Astronomical Journal, the Papers of Seth Chandler and the Papers of James Armsby. Size: 4 linear feet of shelf space (9 Boxes). Restrictions: None. Manuscripts cannot be used for publication without regard for common law literary rights, copyright laws, and laws pertaining to libel. Content Note The Papers of Benjamin A. Gould, Jr. include correspondence, copybooks, journals, observational data, and manuscripts. The papers are organized chronologically into series identified by form. The papers before processing were in no recognizable order. This arrangement has been initiated at the discretion of the processing archivist. It should be noted that Seth A. Chandler completed the publication of Gould's final work after Gould's death. These materials, owing to the authorship of the original work, are included with these papers. |
