This document entitled “Rise and Progress of the Academy of Natural Sciences by John Barnes, 1816. Historical Document,” was written by the first elected (April 16, 1812) member of the Academy who was therefore in a good position to prepare this account of the beginnings of the museum and library. He also mentions various meeting rooms and activities of the early curators.
