Antebellum movable scrapbook
Manuscripts
An assemblage of approximately 130 clippings of articles, poems, and other printed matter related to nativist and racist social and political issues in the Antebellum South. The scrapbook, which was made by an unknown person in Mississippi, is made from an old diary. Clippings include the American Party of Mississippi's platform statement, pieces on the "Bloody Monday" riots in Louisville, the American Party State ticket, and with articles entitled "Americanism Nothing New," "Immigration & Americanism," and "Union of Disunion-What Shall it Be?" In the middle of the volume is a woodblock print used by the Port Gibson newspaper, The Herald and Correspondent, of an American eagle with a banner proclaiming, "Americans Must Rule America. Our Whole Country." The scrapbook contains a few racist depictions of Afrrican Americans. The cover features components of the Saturday Evening Post masthead laid down, and a large engraving of a reception by Queen Victoria is on the rear board. The scrapbook features homemade flaps and foldout tabs, often with colored tabs and the terms "up" or "down" to indicate which direction will reveal more text.

Photographs (1880-1937). 10 items
Manuscripts
The collection contains 32 manuscripts arranged in chronological order. The bulk of the manuscripts are chapter drafts from Widney's book, The three Americas: their racial past. These manuscripts are arranged in chapter order. The text describes migration to North and South America, their racial makeup, and asserts that the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, Australia, New Zealand, and South Africa form a federation based upon their common Anglo-Saxon ancestry. There are two manuscripts from Widney's book, The genesis and evolution of Islam and Judeo-Christianity. The remaining manuscripts include a poem by Widney and excerpts from a speech. The collection also includes 10 items of ephemera: five photographs of Widney and five photographs of a bust of his likeness installed in the Auditorium Room of the Los Angeles County Medical Association building in 1937.

Plants of the Americas : the second edition of Nikolaus von Jacquin's Selectarum stirpium Americanarum historia
Rare Books
The first facsimile of one of the great books of botanic art from the edition held in the library of the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew. Jacquin left Vienna in 1754 and spent the following five years collecting, recording and shipping back specimens from across the Caribbean region: Martinique, the Leeward Islands and Antilles, Jamaica, Cuba and the Colombian coast. In the course of his voyage Jacquin's herbarium was destroyed by termites, prompting him to make drawings in situ of the species he had discovered- the originals from which many of the beautiful plates of Plants of the Americas were painted. In 1780 he published the second edition of Plants of the Americas. This book was a true meeting of science and art, with breathtaking results. 264 hand-painted plant portraits of extraordinary detail and accuracy, prefaced by a title page of exuberant beauty. For this facsimile Christopher Mills, Head of Library, Art and Archives at the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, has produced a comprehensive account of the genesis and publication of Plants of the Americas, with complete details of the surviving copies of the deluxe second edition and full-colour reproductions of all ten variants of the book's stunning title page. He also documents all the plant species illustrated in Plants of the Americas and provides an extensive bibliography. Richard Deverell, Director of Kew Gardens, has contributed a foreword in which he pays tribute to the beauty and continuing relevance of Jacquin's great work.
