- catalog abstract "Series I, subseries I. (Maya Calendar Charts) is a rich variety of materials comprised of mathematical equations, tables, illustrated glyphs and printed plates which are often intermingled. Within this subseries, there also exists the inclusion of several photographs which do not belong in the subseries "glyph photographs." Some of the materials in this subseries were divided into sections by Goodman. There are two printed plates entitled "Reconstruction of Lunar Cycle" as well as several plates from the hieroglyphic stairway, ruins of Copan [Memoirs of the Peabody Museum, v. 1, (6), 1902] contained in this subseries. Series II, subseries II ("Memoirs") contains material which partially documents Joseph Goodman's solutions to the inscriptions of the Maya glyphs and the Maya calendar from his initial interest in 1883 through to his work with Maudslay in 1895.".

- catalog description "By 1883, through his profession as a businessman (mining investments, raisin vineyard), Joseph Goodman met Dr. Gustavus Eisner. Dr. Eisner shared his interest in understanding the Maya inscriptions and calendar with Goodman. Goodman's choice to decipher the Maya inscriptions and calendar established the beginning of his archeological vocation. Although Goodman credits Eisner with providing encouragement, professioanl contacts, and research materials, the majority of the research and its results was accomplished solely by Joseph Goodman. Goodman's research was initially guided by previously published research as well as photographic documentation of molds and glyphs. This documentation was primarily supplied by Alfred Maudlsay, an English archeologist who made significant contributions to Central American archeology.".

- catalog description "Goodman, Joseph T. (1838-1917) Papers, 1888-1914, acc.# 41-8. Peabody Museum of Archaeology and Ethnology, Harvard University.".
- catalog description "In 1893, Maudlsay discussed his on-going research published in the Biologia Centrali-Americana series with Dr. Eisner. Eisner suggested recruiting Joseph Goodman to create the appendix for Maudslay's publication. In the Appendix, Goodman focused on deciphering the Maya calendar. The tables that Goodman compiled, which run through an entire "calendar round," are still considered valid. Additionally, in 1905, Goodman discovered a correlation between the Maya Long Count and Gregorian calendar that is still used by Maya epigraphers. Goodman died in Alameda, California on October 1, 1917.".
- catalog description "Joseph T. Goodman practiced several professions during his lifetime (1838-1917), two of which, archeology and journalism, are documented within his papers at the Peabody Museum.".
- catalog description "Mr. Goodman's initial professional focus was journalism and writing. In 1861, he became a co-owner of the Territorial Enterprise of Virginia City, Nevada. By 1862, he had become sole owner of the newspaper (he remained such until 1874). During 1862, Joseph Goodman and Dennis E. McCarthy hired Samuel Clemens (Mark Twain) as a local reporter. Mark Twain is briefly mentioned within Subseries II (Professional Material/Writings/Fiction and Journalism).".
