- catalog abstract "The Papers of John and Hannah Winthrop contain materials created by Professor John Winthrop over more than five decades including almanacs annotated by both him and his second wife Hannah Winthrop. The collection includes a volume of sermon notes and a commonplace book from John's undergraduate years, journals with meteorological observations and calculations, a volume of his professorial lectures, and more than sixty annotated and interleaved almanacs containing brief scientific observations, notes of social and household activities, and yearly baptism and burial entries for both black and white Cambridge residents. The collection provides a resource for studying different components of the Winthrops' lives: John's interests as an undergraduate at Harvard College, his work as a scientist and professor, the travel and social engagements of a prominent American scientist, the household activities of an 18th century Cambridge family, and after John's death in 1779, the life of a widow trying to manage an altered financial situation.".

- catalog description "Hannah Winthrop (1727-1790) was the daughter of Thomas and Hannah Waldo Fayerweather, whose ancestors came to the Massachusetts Bay Colony in 1630. Although her exact date of birth is not known, she was baptized at the First Church in Boston on February 12, 1727. She married twice, to Parr Tolman in 1745, and after his early death, to John Winthrop in 1756. Hannah and John Winthrop lived in Cambridge, Massachusetts, where John was Harvard's Hollis Professor of Mathematics and Natural Philosophy. Although less is known about Hannah than about her prominent husband, some of her correspondence with Mercy Otis Warren has been preserved and reveals her gift for expressive writing and revolutionary fervor. Hannah Winthrop died in 1790.".
