Draper family.
Draper family collection, 1836-1982.
The Draper family collection consists primarily of printed and published items relating to John William Draper as scientist, photographer, and president of the Medical faculty; and material relating to members of his family who were associated with New York University during the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.
John William Draper (1811-1882) was a scientist, historian, pioneer in photography (credited with the first photograph of the moon, and one of the earliest of a human face), and professor and president of the New York University Medical faculty. Two of his sons were also members of the faculty at New York University: Henry Draper (1837-1882) was professor of Chemistry and Physiology (1862-1882), who constructed a silvered glass telescope and invented the apparatus for celestial photography; and John Christopher Draper (1835-1885) was professor of Chemistry and an author.
