 Aldo
Leopold Archives ... raw materials that document not
only Leopold's rise to prominence but the history of conservation
and the emergence of the field of ecology from the early
1900s until his death in 1948. Leopold was a meticulous
and disciplined generator and retainer of important correspondence,
memorandum, reports, and related materials. ...his papers
contain at least 500 more unpublished essays, reports, and
memorandum of significance. He also kept detailed diaries
and journals of his Forest Service activity, his travels,
hunting and field experience, and observations and activities
at his Sand County farm. He maintained active correspondence
(both outgoing and incoming) with more than a hundred professional
and conservation organizations, with his many graduate students,
and with hundreds of leaders in a range of scholarly disciplines,
professional fields, government agencies, and conservation
organizations... The collection has been augmented by correspondence
and related materials carefully retained over the years
by his mother, his wife, and other family members and professional
associates.. It also includes student notebooks and course
materials from his studies in Burlington, Lawrenceville
and Yale, and copies of his inspection reports on many national
forests in the Southwest as well as hundreds of family photographs
and photographs taken by Leopold to illustrate aspects of
wildlife ecology and land management.
