New Harmony Manuscripts, 1812-1871

Arrangement

Series I is the correspondence from the beginning of the town in 1814 to 1871. It includes 90 folders. This finding aid covers 1814-1844 (63 folders). The exception is that the extensive correspondence between William Maclure and Madame Fretageot has been pulled out and is housed separately as a Series IM. This series has been completely transcribed and annotated by Josephine Elliott. Series IM is predominantly in French.

Series 2-13 include various New Harmony Community records. Series III is the Proceedings of the Preliminary Society and Minutes of the Convention for Forming a Constitution for the Society at New Harmony, 1825-1826, as recorded by Thomas Pears.
