Part I
Part I of the papers of the
Piccard Family dates from ca. 1470 to 1968, with the
period of concentration falling between 1926 and 1966. This part of the
collection primarily documents the achievements and activities of
Jean Felix Piccard (1884-1963) and, to a lesser
extent, those of
Jeannette Ridlon Piccard (1895-1981), his wife.
Trained in
Europe as an organic chemist,
Jean Piccard gained recognition in the 1930s and
1940s as an aeronautical engineer and an active participant in the exploration
of the earth's stratosphere and the study of cosmic rays.
Jeannette Piccard, who also studied chemistry,
provided valuable assistance to her husband and piloted the balloon for their
widely publicized ascent into the stratosphere in 1934. Part I is arranged into
the following series:
Diaries and
Spiritual Meditations,
Family
Correspondence,
Personal Correspondence,
Subject
File,
Speeches and
Writings,
Financial
Papers,
Miscellany,
Printed
Matter and
Oversize.
Family correspondence comprises almost half of the correspondence, with
personal and general correspondence making up the other half. The papers also
include notebooks, biographical material, blueprints, patent specifications and
descriptions, scrapbooks, and newspaper clippings. Part II of the papers
contains a few files of
Jean Piccard, but focuses more on Jeannette's
later activities as an aerospace consultant and her association with the
Episcopal Church.
The
Diaries and
Spiritual Meditations series consists chiefly of writings of
Jeannette Piccard and exhibits her early and
enduring interest in Christianity and the church. The
Family
Correspondence includes communications among numerous members of both the
Piccard and
Ridlon families. Significant among the
correspondents is
Auguste Piccard,
Jean Piccard's twin brother and professor of
physics. In the vanguard of stratospheric exploration,
Auguste Piccard had made balloon flights into the
lower regions of the stratosphere in 1931 and 1932 to study cosmic rays. His
correspondence depicts his considerable collaborations with
Jean in the design of
Jean's balloon gondola and their mutual scientific
interests. Another important correspondent is
Jacques Piccard, son of
Auguste Piccard and acclaimed undersea explorer.
Other notable correspondents include
Jean Piccard's father,
Jules Piccard, professor of chemistry at the
University of Basel, and
Jeannette Piccard's father,
John Ridlon, an eminent orthopedic surgeon. The
Family Correspondence also includes letters exchanged with foster children whom
the Piccards took into their home. Many of the letters of members of the
Piccard family are in French or German.
The
General
Correspondence series reflects
Jean Piccard's work as a consultant in the natural
sciences. Correspondence with the
National Research Council in 1918, especially on
the subject of trinitrotoluene (TNT), reflects the scientific aspect of the
papers. During the period 1910-1913 and in the late 1930s there is additional
scientific correspondence which relates to his inventions. All of the
correspondence series in Part I includes material relating to the Piccards'
stratospheric flight in 1934.
Personal
Correspondence includes letters from family friends and also reflects the
management of the Piccard household. Both
Jean and
Jeannette Piccard corresponded in the 1930s with
scientists and mathematicians such as
Albert Einstein,
Robert Andrews Millikan,
W. F.G. Swann, and
A. W. Stevens.
The
Subject
File also includes material relating to the Piccards' stratospheric
flight in 1934 as well as a written account with photographs of
Jean Piccard's test flight in his experimental
aerostat Pleiades in 1937 and reports by Piccard
for the
Hercules Powder Company. Other items in the
Subject File consist of material related to college classes taught by
Jean Piccard, interview scripts, information
regarding an experimental radio station on the campus of the
University of Minnesota, records of the
Aéro-Club Suisse which
Jean Piccard served as treasurer, and a transcript
of interrogations he conducted for the
United States Army Air Corps in July and August
1945.
Jeannette Piccard's papers in the Subject File
reflect her role in the
Episcopal Church and as an educator.
The
Speeches and
Writings file includes a large body of writings by
Jean Piccard consisting of manuscripts,
typescripts, and printed copies of numerous articles for scientific journals
and other publications. Also contained in this file are writings by
Jeannette Piccard and other family members.
Miscellany
includes biographical material pertaining to several Piccard family members and
a number of genealogical and legal documents concerning the family dating from
approximately the 1470s to the late eighteenth century. The
Printed
Matter series contains clippings pertaining to the family and numerous
miscellaneous pamphlets and ephemeral printed material.
Part II
Part II of the Piccard Family Papers spans the years ca. 1850-1983
with the bulk of the material clustered between 1967 and 1983. This part of the
collection focuses primarily on the professional activities and accomplishments
of
Jeannette Piccard after the death of her husband
Jean in 1963. Highlights in the papers relate to
her role as consultant to the
National Aeronautics and Space Administration's Manned
Spacecraft Center in the 1960s and her efforts in the 1970s to
become one of the first women officially admitted into the priesthood of the
Episcopal Church. Also included are a few files of
Jean Piccard and papers of their son
Don Piccard (1926- ). Part II, organized into the
following series:
Family
Correspondence,
General
Correspondence,
Subject
File,
Speeches and
Writings, and
Miscellany, includes correspondence, diaries, typescripts,
autobiographies, memoranda, reports, notes, newspaper clippings, and printed
matter.
The
Family
Correspondence in Part II supplements Part I and includes significant
material relating to
Auguste and
Jacques Piccard and
John Ridlon. Another notable correspondent is
Kathryn Ann Piccard, a granddaughter who, sharing
Jeannette Piccard's interest in the church, was
also ordained an Episcopal priest. The files include correspondence with
Jean and
Jeannette Piccard's parents, siblings, children
and grandchildren, and their relatives in
Switzerland.
General
Correspondence also complements Part I and includes communications with
professional colleagues and family friends. Earlier material relates to the
career of
Jean Piccard, while later portions reflect
Jeannette Piccard's ambitions in the 1970s
regarding the priesthood.
The
Subject
File is composed of the professional files of
Jean,
Jeannette, and
Don Piccard.
Jeannette Piccard's files comprise the bulk of the
material and exhibit her work as an aerospace consultant with the
National Aeronautics and Space Administration and,
more fully, her ordination as a priest. In 1971 she was ordained as deacon, and
in 1973 she completed a course of study at
General Theological Seminary in
New York City. She was “irregularly” ordained as
priest in 1974 in
Philadelphia, along with ten other women in a
ceremony performed without the official sanction of the church. In 1976, the
Episcopal Church officially recognized the
ordination of women as priests. Key files relate to her ordinations to the
diaconate and the priesthood, deacons and deaconesses, and the denomination in
general. Material filed under the
Episcopal Church pertains to national general
conferences and annual meetings of the diocese of
Minnesota. Papers relating to
Jeannette Piccard's association with other
religious organizations are also located throughout the Subject File.
Significant correspondents include
Denzil A. Carty,
Daniel Corrigan,
Robert R. Gilruth,
Suzanne R. Hiatt,
Philip F. McNairy, and
Francis Zielinski.
The files of
Jean Piccard in the Subject File include those
relating to his research on an oxygen converter and his work with
Calco Chemical Company and the
Hercules Powder Company Experimental Station. The
Subject File also contains
Don Piccard's editor's file for the newsletter for
the
Balloon Federation of America and material
relating to his sport balloon manufacturing company,
Don Piccard Balloons, Inc.
The
Speeches and
Writings series augments the file in Part I and comprise material
principally by
Jeannette Piccard, including essays, sermons, and
poetry. Of particular interest is a 1916 college essay entitled “Should Women
Be Admitted to the Priesthood of the Anglican Church?” Other writings include
those by
Jean Piccard and drafts and background material of
the memoirs of
Jeannette Piccard's father,
John Ridlon.
The
Miscellany
series includes engagement calendars, membership directories, photographs, and
printed matter relating to the Piccard family, stratospheric balloon flights,
ballooning, and women and the priesthood.
The collection is arranged in two parts composed of fifteen
series:
