Description:
This accession consists of the papers of Allan W. H. Bé, marine invertebrate zoologist during his career at the Lamont Geological Observatory at Columbia University studying plankton. Although most of the materials in the collection were not created by Be himself, Be is listed as the primary, and in most cases, sole creator of all items. Materials in this collection include field notes from various cruises during which plankton samples were collected. The collection contains data sheets, plotting charts, graphs, maps, instructional materials, correspondence, equipment logs, data compilations, and other miscellaneous materials related to these research cruises. A bulk of the collection relates to cruises on the research vessel Vema. Other research vessels for which cruises are named after include but are not limited to the Robert D. Conrad, Eltanin, and Rockaway. The majority of materials included in this collection are data sheets recording various kind of data. The data often include important information like coordinates, weather conditions and temperatures, and how much was collected and at what depth. Plankton samples were collected from sampling stations located all over the world. Although most of the major Oceans, Seas, and other bodies of water that Be collected in are included, it is important to note that samples were collected from many locations that could not be listed here. In addition to materials from the Lamont Geological Observatory, some materials from the Smithsonian Oceanographic Sorting Center are also included.

Description:
Materials are from the Charles Walcott Collection, and include field notes, photographs, sketches and stratagraphic sections detailing Walcott's observations and work in geology and paleontology, focusing on the Paleozoic Era. Early in his career many of his observations of geology and paleontology fell in the Carboniferous, Silurian and Devonian periods. Later he focused on the Cambrian and Ordovician periods, which included his most famous discovery of the shale fossils in the Canadian Rockies [Burgess Pass above Field, British Columbia]. |Most of the work completed during his career was during his employment with the United States Geological Survey (USGS) 1879-1907. He started as an assistant geologist eventually promoted to Geologist in charge of Geology and Paleontology. In the course of his work for the USGS he went to southwestern Utah to make stratigraphic sections, field work including expeditions to the Appalachians, New England, New York, eastern Canada, and several Middle Atlantic states, as well as other parts of southwestern and western United States. From 1882 to 1893 he worked with the Survey's invertebrate Paleozoic paleontological collections, and as Director from 1894 to 1907. He was honorary curator of invertebrate Paleozoic fossils at the United States National Museum (USNM) from 1892 to 1907, becoming Secretary of the Smithsonian in 1907.

Description:
(Frank) Alexander Wetmore (1886-1978), ornithologist, avian paleontologist, and science administrator, was the sixth Secretary of the Smithsonian Institution, serving from 1945 to 1952. Materials cataloged were created during the near entirety of his life-span, including a series of photograph albums. He developed an early interest in birds and at the age of eight recorded his first observations -- the first field notes in the collection are from age 8 to 16 describing of birds in the vicinity of his birthplace, North Freedom, Wisconsin. Field books and attending materials continue through his years at the University of Kansas. |There are extensive materials from his time working for the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA), Bureau of Biological Survey, including field notes, correspondence, expense reports, reference materials, reports, and photographs and maps. There are often multiple items from the same collecting trip. His fieldwork during the time included not only collecting but also investigations of issues with health and management of wildlife. Many of the reports in the collection were never published.|Later collection items document extended collecting efforts in South America during his time with the US National Museum. He traveled numerous times Panama, several times with other individuals whose materials are also in the collection. |Not all items relating to Wetmore's field work have been included in the registry, due to the extensive descriptions in Smithsonian Institution Archive finding aid, and/or a lack of materials in the items explicitly documenting specimens collected during those events. Glass plates and negatives were not cataloged because they often duplicate photographs already included in the registry.

Description:
These field books, photographs, and other field research materials were created by Leonhard Stejneger between 1871 and 1913 during field research on various subjects. Materials within the Smithsonian Institution Archives collection Leonhard Stejneger Papers, 1753, 1867-1943 described here are only those that pertain to biodiversity field research and can be found within series 6, 7, and 12. Field books described here document Stejneger's field research in herpetology and ornithology in the United States (including California, New Mexico, Utah, South Dakota, Texas, Virginia, Alaska, and Arizona), research and investigations of fur seals in Russia and Japan near the Bering Sea area (including Bering Island [Ostrov Beringa], Copper Island [Ostrov Mednyy], Kamchatka, Kuril Islands [Kuril'skiye Ostrova], Raikoke [Ostrov Raykoke], Robben Island [Ostrov Tyuleniy], and others from Russia, Pribilof, Alaska, and Yokohama, Hakodate, and others from Japan), herpetology and ornithology research in Puerto Rico, and ornithology and mammalogy research in Italy, Switzerland, Norway, and Denmark. The bulk of these field books relates to field work Stejneger conducted on fur seals in Russia and Japan in the early 1880s and again in the mid to late 1890s. During the 1890s, Stejneger was made a special attache of the U. S. Fish Commission in Alaska, Pribilofs, and Bering Island. Later that decade, Stejneger was appointed by President Cleveland as a member of the International Fur-Seal Commission in order to investigate the economic and political problems of the northern fur seal industry. Included in this collection are photographs taken during Stejneger's research and investigations on fur seals. Many of these photographs are published, and a large number of these are available online through the University of Washington Library's Contentdm database: http://content.lib.washington.edu/cdm-ayp/search.php (last accessed June 2011). There are other materials in the Leonhard Stejneger Papers that are not described here such as maps, reports, drawings and paintings, additional notes, and photo lists that relate to Stejneger's research on fur seals.

Description:
Several reports covering the scientific work of the expedition were made, and most were published. One of the exceptions was the ichthyology report, which Charles Pickering was originally assigned to prepare. It was delayed, however; and by the middle of 1849, Jean Louis Agassiz had been placed in charge of the work. Due to the pressures of his many other commitments, and to the growing reluctance of Congress to appropriate additional funds after 1862, Agassiz never completed the project. In 1885, twelve years after Agassiz's death, the fish specimens, his manuscript, and its illustrations were sent to the United States National Museum.|The two illustrators, Joseph Drayton and Alfred T. Agate, produced numerous drawings of fishes during the expedition, many of which are in this collection. Drayton also helped supervise the illustrations and engraving work for a number of the scientific reports which were published.|A number of the items covering the ichthyology of the United States Exploring Expedition have been held, along with the specimens, by the Division of Fishes of the United States National Museum of Natural History. This record unit includes an unsigned manuscript on the fishes of the expedition, apparently the work of Jean Louis Agassiz which was sent to the United States National Museum in 1885; notes on the fishes and echinoderms collected by the expedition, either by Charles Pickering or based on his notes; a number of items concerning the drawings, specimens and the itinerary of the expedition; and drawings and illustrations of fishes done during the voyage or as illustrations for the ichthyology report. An unpublished manuscript on the fishes of the United States Exploring Expedition by Henry Ward Fowler has been placed in RU 7180.|In addition to the ichthyological materials some items in this collection were held by the Smithsonian Library. These items consist of a letter from R. R. Waldron to Mrs. Sarah Jane Hale concerning her son Horatio Hale's travel plan, 1841; a manuscript on the expedition by Titian Ramsay Peale, which was published by the American Historical Records, 1874; notebooks on botany, mostly by William Dunlop Brackenridge; catalogues and annotated lists of ethnological, geological, mineralogical, and natural history specimens collected by the expedition; drawings of echinoderms by Drayton; original invoices and other official papers of the expedition, mostly shipping lists of specimens sent to the United States; and some loose sheets from the purser's account book, 1838-1842.
