Midwest Archives Conference Records, 1972-2021

Subseries: 5G. Research, 1893-1972
Scope and Content Note: This subseries includes files on various research projects, expeditions, and consulting work the AGS was involved in. Most of the subseries is comprised of research studies conducted under the Department of Exploration & Field Research, but it also includes some that were done prior to the department's creation. While most projects were done with support from the AGS, many, including the Pioneer Belts study and the Juneau Icefield Research Program (JIRP), were large undertakings with other organizations involved. The department was created after the School of Geographical Surveying and Field Astronomy closed. William O. Field was the department head from 1946-1969. See also Series 5B.
