Container List

Series 1: Correspondence, 1937-2003 Add to Shelf

Series 1 consists of personal and professional correspondence. The series is arranged alphabetically by correspondent, with professional and personal correspondents interfiled. The bulk of Ellen's professional correspondence is from her time as a U. S. Geological Survey geologist beginning in the 1950s through her time at Oregon State University as a courtesy Research Associate in the 1990s. Correspondents included her current and former colleagues, international colleagues, institutions such as museums, geology and paleontology students, and private corporations. The correspondence itself is related to borrowing and lending types (fossils) from other institutions, meetings with colleagues, the review of scholarly papers and manuscripts, status of and funding for projects, international travel for conferences, lectures and awards, organizational activities, and memorials for deceased colleagues and mentors. Personal correspondence was usually with friends and family members, but also included members of the OSU Thrift Shop and past colleagues. The bulk of it is from the 1990s through 2003. Topics include daily life, travel, health, relationships, and life in Corvallis. Documents typically include typed and handwritten letters, cards, photographs, printouts of e-mails, manuscripts of scholarly work, photocopies of professional publications or articles, and newspaper clippings. The following list provides the names of correspondents grouped by folder.
