Scope and Contents

From the Collection:

These are research files for a series of papers that Payne presented on the teaching of Chemistry in the U.S. prior to the Civil War. Much of the material deals with Transylvania College in Kentucky. The collection is divided into materials relating to the history of chemistry and a smaller cache of materials relating to Payne's work with the U.S. Signal Corps. The larger portion of the historical material concerns Robert Peter. There were photographs in the collection, but these have been separated out.
