|a The John Bartram Association records, dating from 1779 to 1937 (bulk 1893 to 1911), document the association's foundation and early administrative activities predominately through correspondence, accented by newspaper clippings, advertising fliers, and invitation cards. Significant portions of the correspondence records relate to accumulation of the "Bartram Memorial Library," an effort brought about by Mrs. Caroline Bartram Newbold of the John Bartram Association and John M. Macfarlane of the University of Pennsylvania. Accompanying these records is a copy of an inventory of the "Bartram Memorial Library" that appears to date from 1900. Additionally, the collection contains correspondence, newspaper clippings, and other media dealing with matters regarding the foundation and day-to-day administrative workings of the John Bartram Association (1893), the foundation of Botanical Society of Philadelphia (1897), the 200th anniversary of John Bartram's birth (1899), lectures presented by John Bartram Association/Bartram Memorial Library Committee, hosted by University of Pennsylvania (circa 1902-1909), the death of John Bartram Association President, Mordecai Bartram (1904), the appointment of Franklin S. Edmonds as President of John Bartram Association and subsequent administrative personnel change (1905), the integration of Bartram Gardens into Philadelphia's allied park system, the appointment of Henry R. Edmunds as President of John Bartram Association (1908), and Bartram family genealogy. When the John Bartram Association records were donated, the contents of the collection were filed chronologically. Since this organization best suits the recorded documentation regarding genesis and early administrative dealings of the John Bartram Association, the collection has been left in this original order. General terms (e.g., correspondence, invitation cards, donations, etc.) regard the John Bartram Association administration unless otherwise noted. The term "events" refers to lectures and reunions unless otherwise noted

|a The John Bartram Association (JBA) was founded in 1893 for the purpose of protecting and enhancing the home and garden of John Bartram, known as "Bartram's Garden." To this day, the JBA continues to speak to audiences of all ages on the discovery of the natural world, just as John Bartram did in his lifetime. "Bartram's Garden" was maintained by Bartram's descendants and natural enthusiasts, beginning with his daughter, Ann Bartram Carr and her husband Colonel Robert Carr, after his death in 1777 to the formation of the JBA in 1893. By the time the JBA was formed, it was evident that the grounds were in need of care that reached beyond the abilities of those in charge. The JBA made appeals to Philadelphia that "Bartram's Garden" be incorporated into the allied park system, eventually convincing the Fairmount Park Commissioners to take charge of the property. In addition to the resuscitation of "Bartram's Garden," the JBA's early efforts secured a safe home and custodian in the University of Pennsylvania for what is known as "The Bartram Memorial Library," the authority collection of volumes representative of early American botanical literature. John Bartram (1699-1777) was born a third-generation Quaker in Darby, Pennsylvania, who followed his father's footsteps by becoming a farmer. However, his curiosities of nature led him beyond farming, into botany, horticulture, and exploration. This hobby later earned fame in the scientific world for his discoveries and generosity in sharing knowledge of his little-known subjects. Carolus Linnaeus (1707-1778), a Swedish botanist and originator of the system of taxonomic classification, regarded Bartram as the "greatest natural botanist in this world," an achievement yet unheard of in his lifetime for an American-born colonist in the eyes of Europe's finest scientists. In 1928, Bartram purchased a 102-acre plot of land, now known as "Bartram's Garden," formerly inhabited by Native Americans as early as 3000 BCE, from Swedish settlers in order to examine its ecology. This plot was the source of much inspiration for Bartram, in addition to his discoveries from New England to Florida, until the end of his life in 1777
