Alfred Grewe Papers
Collection

The Alfred Grewe Papers consists of approximately 6,200 photographic 35 mm color slides (with scanned copies) depicting St. Cloud State University classroom and field studies from the 1960s to the 1990s. The slides were scanned by Grewe's former student Mary Stefanski.

In addition to several sets of classroom lectures on key subject matter of his SCSU courses, the image collection includes a significant component of Grewe's’s research with bald eagles. He was one of the first to document the status and habits of eagles prior to their endangered species listing in 1967. As part of this work, Grewe was one of the first to suggest that chemicals in the environment were likely responsible for the critical thinning of eagle egg shells, a major cause of the inability of these birds to reproduce at a rate sufficient to sustain an already much diminished population.

Grewe was also a preeminent authority on American white pelicans, initiating and leading the world’s longest running pelican banding study at Marsh Lake in Lac Qui Parle Wildlife Management Area near Appleton, Minnesota. Here he documented the breeding colony’s rise from two pairs to over 20,000, the largest American white pelican colony in the world for many years.

Other topics documented by the images here include sandhill cranes, owls of various species, great blue herons and other colonial nesting waterbirds, etc. Many wildlife species are depicted, including from his many graduate students' research / theses topics. Images portray Grewe or his students conducting “wildlife work” such as capturing and banding birds, working hunter check stations, conducting radio telemetry, etc. and overviews of habitat restoration practices from Federal wildlife refuges and State wildlife management areas. Several of the previous Grewe students shown in the collection became prominent names in the wildlife arena in future years, something Grewe gave him more pride than anything else he had accomplished.

Original text written on the slides was primarily from Grewe himself. However, many (if not most) of the slides have no written information on them.

The digital scans are organized and named as such (as written by Mary Stefanski):

The image file names include the following format: Group, Slide Number, and any Information written on the slide. Any dates, names, etc. within ( ) were not written on the original slide and were added for clarification from the date printed or embossed on the slide when it was developed. For example: Crex Birds IMAG0065 Injured Cooper Hawk (Owen Schmidt 1971). The original slide can be found within the larger collection in the Crex Meadows Birds folder in slot 65 and contains the writing “Injured Cooper Hawk.” (Owen Schmidt 1971) was added to the electronic file name based on the identification of Owen and the date, 1971, stamped on the cardboard slide holder.

Douglas A. Birk Archaeology Papers
BIRK · Collection · 1958-2017

This collection contains the professional work papers of Minnesota historical archaeologist Douglas A. Birk. Records include fieldwork, research notes, correspondence, writings, and subject files. Topics include the history of the fur trade and the archaeological record of central and northern Minnesota.

Record Group 1: Career files represents an overview of Birk’s professional activities. Series within this group include general correspondence, an incomplete but substantial collection of Birk’s writings, records of presentations given, conferences attended, and newspaper clippings documenting his career. Importantly, this group includes Birk’s field journals/log books and daily journals. The former document Birk’s activities at archaeological sites and includes an index of all field journal entries contained throughout the paper collection, cross referenced by location and date.

Record Group 2: Research files are arranged by topic and cover Birk’s areas of professional expertise. Prominent topics include the archaeological record of sites within the LEHP, especially 21MO20; Minnesota’s Colonial and Territorial periods; John Sayer; Zebulon Pike; Protestant missions; mounds; historic communities; historic transportation routes; and journals, artifact studies, and sites relating to the fur trade in Minnesota. Records within each series include fieldwork, correspondence, project documentation, copies of primary and secondary source documents, and research notes. Content notes are also provided at the series level, as the details of each series varies. Birk maintained these files throughout his career and most series include records spanning multiple decades.

Record Group 3: Work files are primarily the institutional records of Birk’s employers that Birk retained in his personal files. Records in this group are divided into series representing each employer. Records within series are mostly arranged by type and/or function rather than topic and include correspondence, board minutes, financials, project files, and public relations. This group also includes Birk’s educational records from junior college to graduate school.

Record Group 4: Subject files functions as a “catch-all” category for records that are broadly organized by subject and do not fit within the preceding groups. These include records of Birk’s involvement with local historical societies, material on professional standards and legal requirements, and miscellany.

Record Groups 5-7 represent special format records and do not relate to the intellectual arrangement of the collection. See the arrangement and access notes for more details.

Researchers are encouraged to search this finding aid thoroughly and consider all areas of the collection were information relevant to their research interest may be found. For instance, while research material on a particular topic may be concentrated in the relevant series in group 2, a finished publication stemming from this research is likely to be located in group 1. Meanwhile, correspondence and other documentation of the context of a research project may be located in group 1, 2, or 3 under various series.

Max Partch Papers
106 · Collection · 1949-2003

This collection contains slides of nature-oriented images taken by Max Partch.  The images cover a wide variety of flora, fauna and landscape. Images include bird habitats and colonies, varieties of trees, damage and erosion both natural and man-made, nature formations such as cliffs, lakes, bluffs, ponds and marshes, and animals such as fox and beaver. Geographically, the images are primarily from Minnesota, in particular St. Cloud and Stearns County, but include locations in Wisconsin and Arizona.  Areas most depicted include the Cold Spring Heron Colony in Cold Spring, Minnesota, as well as other Minnesota heron colonies, nature sites including the prairie around Waubun, Minnesota, Englund Ecotone Preserve in Benton County, Minnesota, Partch Woods, St. Cloud, Minnesota, and other nature sites around Minnesota. Dates range from 1949 to 2003, but are heavily concentrated between 1949 and 1990.

Most slides contain an identifying number.  The numbers are unique, but do not correspond to any known system.  Most slides also contain a date, location, and brief description, though a few slides lack any additional descriptive information.  In some cases, the creator grouped ‘like’ items together for presentations and appearances, and that arrangement has been retained.

The descriptions for each slide was transcribed and included in the finding aid.

5 · Collection · 1942-1945

The 19 letters were written by Sinclair Lewis to Joan McQuary between 1942 and 1945. In the fall of 1942, McQuary met Lewis as a student in his creative writing class at the University of Minnesota. When the class finished in December, Lewis moved to New York City. During his time in Minneapolis, April to December 1942, Lewis nearly completed his novel Gideon Planish.

In these letters, Lewis discussed a wide variety of topics, giving a sense of his life while living in New York City. Lewis elaborated on his search for and described his new apartment at 300 Central Park West. Despite moving to New York City, Lewis longed for his University of Minnesota pupils and Minnesota, urging Joan to visit him in New York City, possibly working for him as a secretary. Lewis often mentioned spending the coming summer in Minnesota.

While in New York City, Lewis finished his novel, Gideon Planish. It was published that spring. Lewis was aware of the reviews he received for his book, noting to McQuary that the “furious attack” by literary critic Mumford Jones “is to be answered by yet more furious letters full of literary sniffing and thumbings of the philological nose…” He also mentioned on several occasions that he was sick of writing. After completing short stories for Good Housekeeping and Cosmopolitan in the spring of 1943, Lewis said the only writing he wanted to do was checks and luggage labels.
