*From 1942 to 1975 Alfred Bishop, ESF Professor Emeritus took on caring for ESF archives.
*It wasn’t until 1978 that the ESF archives was formally
created.
*In 1978 The F. Franklin Moon Library was the recipient of an award from the NYS College of Forestry Foundation for the express purpose of organizing existing archival materials and making them accessible to the college community and other interested individuals and to create an ongoing repository for records generated by SUNY ESF.
*From 1978 to 1979 Lisa Waters served as archivist for SUNY ESF.
*From 1979 to 1982 Nancy Osborne served as the archivist for SUNY ESF.
Archives and Special Collections - History and Staffing
Slide12*The longest serving archivist was Flora Nyland who served as the archivist for SUNY ESF from 1982 to 2011.
*I had the benefit of working with Flora while I was an ESF student in the 1990’s.
When I returned to work at ESF as a librarian in 1998 I continued to assist Flora with digitization projects and research for projects and I brought with me over 6 years of experience from working with the local history, genealogy and special collections of the
main OCPL Onondaga County Public Library.
*When Flora Nyland retired in 2011 - I informally assisted with archives – working with alumni and faculty - but the archives was not fully open.
*In 2014
I
was appointed to spend 30% of my time in the archives/special collections and the archives re-opened. In reality I
spend much more
time physically and mentally on the archives as I work on something related to the archives and special everyday.
* Since the Spring of 2015 I’ve had 3 volunteers, 1 SUNY ESF intern, 2 SUNY ESF work study students and 5 interns from S.U. Jessica Clemons - our interim library director has also had since the Spring of 2015 - a number of SUNY ESF student workers and graduate students dedicated to working in our archives on digitization projects for our Digital Commons @ ESF.
Archives and Special Collections - History and Staffing
Slide13The Archives and Special Collections are located in 3 rooms on the lower level of Moon Library. Over the past year + many of the collections have been re-packaged, properly stored and physically re-organized.
Archives and Special Collections - Location - Rooms
Slide14*Along with physically organizing the archives much work has been done on creating online catalogs, finding aids and digital collections of what is
i
n our archives.
*In the fall of 2015 I received a grant to purchase software and camera equipment to help document archival items. From this grant we will have a searchable online database for the public to use to search and see what we have in our archives.
Archives and Special Collections – Progress
Slide15* Since the archives has officially re-opened we have made great strides in helping members of the ESF community – students, staff and faculty and outside researchers.
Every week we have phone calls and emails and “walk ins” – people wishing to use our archives for a variety of reasons and we are able to give assistance immediately. We are able to also schedule research times for patrons who wish to use the archives hands-on themselves. These appointments have lasted as long as a few hours to full day appointments.
Examples from the month of March -
An ESF faculty member researching historical photographs for the 100
th
anniversary of Cranberry Lake.
A writer for the Knothole researching Earth Day and the history of ESF for Knothole articles.
A dozen researchers asking to use our Fletcher Steele landscape architecture collection for use for conference presentations, articles, displays, restoring gardens, etc.
A gentleman who had been mentored by ESF professor William Harlow on time lapse photography who wished to look at Harlow’s archives.
The SUNY ESF Alumni Office researching the ESF – S.U. lacrosse connection.
Archives and Special Collections – Progress
Slide16Why are people coming to use the archives and special?
What gems do we have?
Slide17Archival GEM –
The archives of Professor William Harlow
Dr
. Harlow received his bachelors, masters and doctorate degrees from SUNY ESF and then went on to be a member of the ESF faculty from 1928 until 1965 and then was an active emeriti.
When Harlow passed away in 1986 we received his archive of over 100 films, thousands of photographs and negatives and personal diaries.
Dr
. Harlow was
not only a
professor in wood technology but was also an accomplished nature photographer and film maker. Some of his nature films – many of which are time lapse films have been digitized by the SUNY ESF Archives and Special Collections - and they can be viewed by visiting Digital Commons @ ESF
http://digitalcommons.esf.edu/harlow
/
Slide18Archival GEM –
Memorial Service for William
Harlow
Over our recent spring break I was re-packaging items in the archives and moved a considerable number of boxes. At the bottom of a pile of boxes was a lone audio reel box – inside was the recording of the 1986 memorial service for William Harlow.
I immediately had this digitized by a local company and the hour long service will be available soon on our Digital Commons @ ESF site.
Slide19Archival GEM
–
Portraits of ESF students
that died in action in WWII
Again while moving boxes and re-arranging items in the archives – at the very bottom of a pile of boxes were two small black boxes – inside a very moving collection of 32 portraits of SUNY ESF students killed in action in WWII.
Upon finding these we immediately digitized and recorded the biographies for each student. And since it was close to Veterans day we put the portraits on display in Moon Library.
Slide20Slide21Archival GEM –
The Archives of the Marshall family
The Marshall family name is well known on campus and it is fitting that we have a number of personal items from the Marshall family.
Last fall I was invited to give a presentation on
The Marshall Family of NY
-Their
Legacy and
History
at the
Researching NY Conference
in Albany. While reviewing our archives I came across some gems – in particular – Bob Marshall’s diary of his weekend trips to Cranberry Lake, letters he wrote home and his 400 page manuscript for his book –
Arctic Village
– originally published in 1933 and reprinted as recently as 2000.

Fletcher Steele
Slide25Fletcher
Steele
(June 7, 1885 - July 1971) was an American landscape architect credited with designing and creating over 700 gardens from 1915 to the time of his death
. His
most famous work by far is
Naumkeag.
Naumkeag
is the former country estate of noted New York City lawyer Joseph Hodges Choate located at 5 Prospect Hill Road, Stockbridge, Massachusetts
.

Slide26Fletcher Steele – well known landscape architect
When he passed away in 1971 Fletcher Steele left all his professional items to the American Society of Landscape Architects. They then in turn donated the items to only several locations – one being SUNY ESF. Our collection of Steele’s archives include:
*Original nursey orders from 1923-1963.
*Steele’s appointment Books 1960-1965
* Photographs
by Steele, including glass
negatives
& slides of the gardens he designed.
*300
+ drawings
and plans for client gardens.
*Steele was a world traveler and we have his scrapbooks
of photographs of places, gardens, etc. in various countries, including Russia, China, France, Norway,
etc.
*Steele also sketched and painted during his travels and we have some of his sketch books and paintings.
*Steele’s personal collection of landscape architecture books.
Slide27Significant Collections
Roosevelt Wild Life Station
Slide28The Moon Library archives has an extensive collection of photographs relating to the RWLS.
12,000 photographs and corresponding negatives. These were produced by RWLS staff and researchers and many of the photographs were published in the RWLS Bulletins and Annals. The topics of these photographs vary and include: the Adirondack Beaver, bird studies, Yellowstone National Park, Forest Zoology and many photographs of the actual RWLS staff and researchers
.
Efforts were started in the summer of 2015 to begin to digitize and catalog
these photographs.
Currently
1,000 photos have been scanned and 250 of these have been cataloged and are available for viewing on the NY Heritage website

Collections
Dard Hunter
Handmade Papers
Slide30William
Joseph "Dard" Hunter
(November 29, 1883 – February 20, 1966) was an American authority on printing, paper, and
papermaking.
Of special note - Hunter
produced two hundred copies of his book
Old Papermaking
, preparing every aspect of the book himself: he wrote the text, designed and cast the type, did the typesetting, handmade the paper, and printed and bound the book
. He worked with Roycroft in East Aurora, NY and was part of the arts and crafts movement and did designs for books, leatherwork and stained glass. Separately one his own Dard Hunter built his own paper mill and printing press in New York.
He
authored 20 books on the subject of papermaking (eight of which were printed by hand).
These
works were the result of over one million miles of travel to remote regions of the world in search of information on the craft.
His works have been displayed at the Smithsonian Institution.
Other than here at Moon Library Dard Hunter’s items can be found at the
Robert
C. Williams Paper
Museum at
Georgia
Tech.
I’d like to also note that Dard Hunter’s “Mountain House” in Ohio was preserved as a living museum.

www.dardhunter.com/About2.htm
Slide31Bill Burry’s Papermaking class comes for a formal lecture using items from our
archives/special. The
items we have in archives/special are a resource to all interested in papermaking on
campus and to the community/public.
Dard Hunter is a prominent figure in the world of papermaking and is known for his worldwide paper collections.
We
house some of the finest examples of
his
collections.

Slide32Recent Donations – “gems”
Slide33Henry Breed
-
Grandson of Dean
Ilick
Recently donated his grandfather’s graduation regalia, hoods,
l
ecture notes, hand written personal notes/letters and photos.
He asked that we digitize the paper items and email them to him and preserve the photos.
Below is a sampling of what some of the donated paper items look like
and the three photos that were donated.
Slide34The photos that once belonged to Illick have been professionally preserved and reframed and hung in the Moon Library Quiet Study Room.
Slide35Dean Illick’s robes on display in Moon Library.
Slide36Archives and Special
Collections – The Future
I’d like to be positive and say that the future is bright for our archives and special collections. What we currently house in archives and special makes our library and campus very unique -
but many items do need special attention and preservation.
Some collections are being re-housed, re-organized, documented and cataloged and will soon be available to search and see online
.
And many collections are being digitized and preserved
but there is still much more to do
and it takes time, staffing and funding.
We have received some grants and continue to apply for more that are applicable to our needs - this
semester I submitted a grant to
fund
the digitization of all of the ESF Empire Forester yearbooks.
We continue to receive donations from departments, emeriti and alumni
and
f
rom a collecting and records management perspective we need to pay close attention to the SUNY Retention Guidelines to determine what archival and historical records of
the
college should be retained
.

)
The work continues - - - This summer I will once again spend the majority of my time in the archives and will continue to make great strides with our collections, with helping researchers and uncovering gems.
