Series: 9/25/10-2: Organizations, Committees
View digitized contents of this series. This series includes correspondence and other documents (c. 1929-48) pertaining to
professional societies, committees, conservation organizations, government agencies,
research stations, conferences, consultant positions, magazines, and journals. Mr.
Leopold was actively involved in some official capacity with virtually all of these; for
most, he prepared reports, memoranda, or articles. The papers contain many instances of
Mr. Leopold's conservation philosophy in practice. Equivalent materials from the years prior to 1928 were probably not as voluminous, and
some may have been lost. Others may be found, however, with the professional
correspondence that Mr. Leopold kept at his home (9/25/10-8 001 001), and also scattered
throughout the species and subject files. Papers are generally arranged in reverse chronological order; but within this general
framework it is clear that AL clipped together some batches of correspondence
thematically.

Organizations, Committees: Delta [Duck Station -- Manitoba]
View digitized contents of this box. Box 003 continues Leopold's "organization and committee" files. AL's relationship
to Albert Hochbaum's waterfowl research at the Delta Duck Station, Delta, Manitoba,
was organizationally complex. Delta was one of the research units financed by the
American Wildlife Institute, under supervision of its Technical Committee, chaired
by AL (see AWI folders, Box 001). Among other duties, AL apparently handled Delta
financial arrangements for the Institute. Hochbaum was AL's student at the time he
began his research at Delta in 1938, and later received his master's degree from the
University of Wisconsin for a thesis based on early Delta findings. Miles D. Pirnie
of Michigan, however, was to supervise Hochbaum's research work at Delta while AL
was to serve as a policy adviser. Along with Pirnie and William Rowan, AL was appointed to a Delta Board of Advisors,
created in 1940 by the Cooperators (James Ford Bell and AWI), and it was apparently
in this capacity that he undertook to edit Hochbaum's "Bulletin No. l," published as
"Canvasback on a Prairie Marsh" in 1944. After 1942, AL apparently had no official
connection with the station; correspondence thereafter is with Hochbaum as a
professional and friend.

Organizations, Committees: NRC Committees
View digitized contents of this box. : Box 006 continues organizational and committee records, specifically those of the
National Research Council. AL was a member and chairman of at least two committees
of the council: the Committee on Wild Life, 1931-1936, and the Committee on Aircraft
vs. Wilderness, 1945-1947. (He was also apparently a member of a forestry committee
in the late 1920s, but no records have been found.) Materials in this box consist of
two folders from AL's own files, one on each committee, and a number of folders with
correspondence and reports Xeroxed in September 1968 from committee folders in the
files of the NRC Division of Biology and Agriculture, located in the archives of the
National Academy of Sciences. The latter appear to be files of the chairman of the
Division, Ivey F. Lewis et al. (1931-1936), and Robert F. Griggs (1945-1947).
