Note
This series contains Henryana. Henryana is an abstracted list consisting of 295 typewritten pages with in-depth descriptions of what is in the Joseph Henry Collection.
In the letters section of Henryana each letter is given a paragraph. The first line of the paragraph tells whom the letter was to and whom it was from. The date and location
of the writing of the letter are also told if known. What follows is a description of what information can be found in the letter. All the names mentioned in the letter are
underlined for easy locating. Henryana also contains descriptions of other written materials in the collection including the Mary A. Henry Memoirs. The problem with Henryana
is that the collection is no longer organized in the same manner and therefore, although the information is useful it is not easily accessible.
