Record [August, 1903]
View digitized contents of this folder. This journal was apparently AL's field journal for his trip to Estes Park and
Yellowstone National Park in 1903. Some notes formed the basis for entries in his
1903 journal (folder 002, above). This particular journal was never explicitly described in the printed finding
aid.

Ornithological Lists and Notes, 1902-3
View digitized contents of this folder. Included are small notebooks in which AL recorded some of his earliest
ornithological observations (principally bird lists). The contents of this folder were formerly divided into two folders in the
original, printed finding aid; however, the finding aid did not explicitly
identify which items belonged to which folder. During the digitization process in
February 2008 the small notebooks and bird lists were combined into a single
folder.

and portions may be missing. 9p (unbound)

Personal Notebook
View digitized contents of this folder. : Contains selected quotations from books and articles that Leopold read over the
years--primarily from c. 1914 to the early 1930s. The notebook is an excellent
source of insight into the works and authors that influenced Leopold during these
years. Many of the quotations he eventually wove into his own books and articles,
sometimes repeatedly.

Diaries and Journals: Shack Journals, 1935-1948
View digitized contents of this box. : The Shack Journals constitute a detailed record of the activities of the Leopold
family and their guests at a farm AL purchased in 1935 on the Wisconsin River near
Baraboo. The volumes contain phenological observations, birdsong notes, Shack lists,
planting records, maps, photographs, and even indexes. According to Robert McCabe,
AL would make most of his field notes in a small black address book which he always
carried in his shirt pocket, then make journal entries when he returned to the
Shack. McCabe collected about 12 discarded address books, 1944-46, most of the pages
of which are crossed out to indicate that the material had been entered in the
journal.
