Renamed the Kirtland Society of Natural Science in 1869, this science society was organized with the aim of establishing a natural history museum. In 1876, it opened a museum in Case Hall on Cleveland's Public Square which contained the bird and mammal collection of William Case, the bird collection of R. K. Winslow, the entomology collection of John Fitzpatrick, and fish specimens from the collections of Jared P. Kirtland and Elisha Sterling. The museum continued to function until 1920, when the Cleveland Museum of Natural History was established and the various collections were transferred to it. The collection consists of minutes of meetings, notes on birds, drawings, newspaper clippings, and other papers. Among the early members were Theodatus Garlick, Jared P. Kirtland, B. A. Stanard, George A. Stanley, Elisha Sterling, and Rufus K. Winslow. | | | | Call #: | MS 0888 | | | | Extent: | 0.20 linear feet (1 container) | | | | Subjects: | Kirtland Society of Natural Science (Cleveland, Ohio) | Science -- Ohio -- Cleveland -- Societies, etc. | Natural history museums -- Ohio -- Cleveland. | Natural history -- Ohio -- Cleveland -- Societies, etc. | Clubs -- Ohio -- Cleveland.
