Scope and Content Notes

The Gerald W. Williams Collection of Forestry and Northwest History Publications consists of materials assembled and acquired by Williams in the course of his work as a Forest Service sociologist and historian and due to his avocational interest in the history of forestry as a science and profession and the regional history of the Pacific Northwest. Most of the materials in the collection were published by the U.S. Forest Service. In addition to the history of the U.S. Forest Service and forestry generally, the publications include materials pertaining to other topics that Williams researched -- Gifford Pinchot and the Pinchot Family, the McKenzie River basin, and regional history of the Pacific Northwest.

The U.S. Forest Service publications include materials intended for an internal audience (such as manuals, handbooks, guides, and newsletters) as well as the public (annual reports, circulars, bulletins, maps, and brochures). The newsletters include a regular newsletter from the Forest Service chief as well as newsletters and membership directories for the U.S. Forest Service retirees from the Pacific Northwest region.

The collection includes 8 commercially produced or published compact disks with images, conference proceedings, and interatcive educational productions.

Gerald W. Williams worked for the U.S. Forest Service from 1979 until his retirement in 2005. From 1979 to 1993, he was a sociologist with the Umpqua and Willamette National Forests in Oregon; in 1993-1998, he served as the regional sociologist for the Pacific Northwest Regional Office in Portland; and from 1998 until his retirement in 2005 he was the national historian for the U.S. Forest Service in Washington, D.C.

Box and Folder Listing

Series 1: U.S. Forest Service Publications, 1883-2015

Series 1 consists of U.S. Forest Service publications assembled by Gerald Williams in the course of his work as the Forest Service historian and comprises about half of this collection. The series includes publications intended primarly for an internal audience (manuals, handbooks, and guides) and publications issued for the public (annual, reports, circulars, and bulletins). The series includes a near-complete run of annual reports prepared by the Chief of the Forest Service from 1920s through 1990s. Forest Service Circulars and Bulletins published in the early 20th century address forest products, forest fires, and the relationship between forests and avalanches, water supply, and soils. The Land Areas of the National Forest System publications include acreage of forests, wilderness areas, and other lands managed by the Forest Service by state and region. Of special note are issues of the Forest Worker for 1927-1933, which was published primarily for forest service employees. The series includes several publications related specifically to the Region Six in the Pacific Northwest and the Pacific Northwest Research Station.
