Subseries: 9C. Walter A. Wood, 1934-1979 : This subseries contains the papers of Walter Wood (1907-1993). The papers
were donated to the AGS at an unknown time. Wood worked as a research
assistant at the AGS from 1931-1938, was head of the Department of
Exploration and Field Research from 1938-1942, and later president from
1957-1967. The collection dates mostly from 1950s-1960s and includes
materials from his term as president, articles, and affiliations. Also
included are expedition materials such as photographs and correspondence
to places like Alaska and Canada.
