The Edward Kolbe Research Notebook documents Kolbe's research on fishing trawl doors as an Oregon State University Extension Engineering Specialist at the Hatfield Marine Science Center.

The Edward Kolbe Research Notebook documents Kolbe's research on fishing trawl doors conducted as part of Oregon Sea Grant's Fishing Gear and Methods Development Program. It includes correspondence between Kolbe and fishing equipment companies and other researchers; newspaper clippings and articles from trade magazines; product literature and advertisements; notes; photocopies from journals and publications; and photographs. The photographs depict trawl doors on several fishing trawlers. They are primarily b/w prints and negatives; a few color prints and negatives are also included. The notebook is organized in sections by type of trawl door (bottom, midwater or combination bottom/midwater) and includes a table of contents. R. Barry Fisher also contributed to this research.

Edward Kolbe joined the faculty of Oregon State University Sea Grant and the Coastal Oregon Marine Experiment Station in 1974 as an Extension Engineering Specialist concentrating on fishing and aquaculture systems. Kolbe worked on a variety of projects including frozen storage of seafood and a heating process for the development of surimi. He held positions on the Corvallis campus and at the Hatfield Marine Science Center in Newport, Food Innovation Center in Portland, and the Seafood Lab in Astoria. Kolbe retired in 2004.
