| | | | Type: | Collection | | | | Format: | Manuscripts | | | | Language: | English | | | | Dates: | Circa 1917-1973 | | | | Extent: | 183 linear feet | | | | Abstract: | Carmichael was chairman of the Division of Anthropology and Psychology of the National Research Council, from 1941 to 1943. His papers include Division records, from 1941 to 1943 and 1955 to 1962. The earlier documents are interesting for their illustration of the wartime use of anthropology and psychology by the federal government. The records extant in Carmichael's files include various committee and sub-committee reports on routine Division business; they chronicle the marshalling of anthropology and psychology for the war effort. The later records (1955-62) include a history of the Division, membership lists, research proposals, the annual reports of the Division itself, and various sub-committee reports. Also included are reports on symposia supported by the Division, including the "USAF-NRC Symposium On Human Engineering, Personnel, And Training Research" in 1955. Carmichael's papers include records of the U.S. Committee for National Morale, dated 1941 and afterwards, and contain a report on "Cultural Anthropology and Morale," among other documents. He was a member of the applied psychology panel of the Office of Scientific Research and Development, 1942-1945. | | | | Source: | Leonard Carmichael Papers (B C212) | | | | |

Davenport was a central figure in American eugenics and, secondarily, in genetics research, from the founding of the Cold Spring Harbor Station in 1904 to the 1930s. He frequently found himself in serious disagreement with Boas and his supporters over the role of environment versus heredity in shaping racial morphology and social behavior. | |

| | | | Type: | Collection | | | | Format: | Manuscripts | | | | Language: | English | | | | Dates: | Circa 1917-1975 | | | | Extent: | 12.25 linear feet; circa 9,000 items | | | | Abstract: | Correspondence, 1927-1975; 54 notebooks and diaries, circa 1917-1975. Dobzhansky was one of the foremost population geneticists of this century. His studies on genetics and race, on race and behavior, on culture, cultural achievement, and genetics, on nature and nurture in human heredity, and on human evolution are extremely important for social biology and its relation to both cultural and physical anthropology. Particularly interesting are Dobzhansky's writings on the origin and significance of human races, and on anthropology and the natural sciences. The Dobzhansky papers include a manuscript copy of his last book, Human Culture: A Moment in Evolution (published posthumously in 1983); lectures on "Man in the Light of Evolutionary Biology;" correspondence with numerous scientists (Ashley Montagu, L. C. Dunn, Ernst Mayr, E. W. Caspari, Frederick Osborn, and many others) on social biology and race; and papers relating to symposia, books, articles, speeches, and research topics. There is also Dobzhansky correspondence in the M. Demerec, L. C. Dunn, E. W. Caspari, A. F. Blakeslee, Frederick Osborn, F. P. Rous, and related collections.

They include Heredity, Race and Society with Theodore Dobzhansky in 1946; Biology and Race in 1951; and Heredity and Evolution in Human Populations, 1958.

The Moe papers contain extensive reports by Kroeber on Guggenheim projects and his critique of the scientific and personal character of fellowship applicants. This is an interesting source for study of Kroeber's opinions concerning the work of his scientific peers in the 1940s. | | | | Source: | Henry Allen Moe Papers (B M722) | | | | |
