The Cleaveland Natural History Society of Bowdoin College was founded in June 1859 by students interested in the study of Natural History. Named in honor of Professor Parker Cleaveland, the society met in the room containing the cabinet with his collections, and members presented dissertations on botany, geology, mineralogy, and other subjects of natural history. When the society was formed, it acquired collections belonging to the Peucinian and Athenaean Societies. Honorary members as well as donations to the collections were welcomed. The series contains a constitution, correspondence, dissertations, receipts, reports, and other records.

Acknowledgment of non-neutrality

The George J. Mitchell Department of Special Collections & Archives, like all archives and special collections libraries, is the creation of human beings who have collected, organized, and described things in ways that reflect personal, cultural, societal, and institutional biases. Although we strive to preserve and present collections in a manner that is respectful to the individuals and communities who create, use, and are represented in the collections, we acknowledge that our systems are neither neutral nor perfect. We encourage you to let us know if you encounter materials, descriptive language, or practices that are offensive or harmful, particularly those for which inadequate context or warning is offered. We are committed to modifying and updating our descriptive practices to use respectful and inclusive terminology and appreciate your help in this work. We look forward to supporting you in your research and learning together.
