![]() Charles P. Alexander collecting at Ithaca, New York, 1915 |
Alexander was active within the entomological profession, and his achievements were widely recognized. A member of the Entomological Society of America (ESA) from 1910 until his death, Alexander served as President of the Society from 1941 to 1943 and was elected an Honorary Member in 1969. In 1976 he received the L. O. Howard Award for Distinguished Achievement in Entomology of the Eastern Branch of ESA. Alexander was also a Corresponding Member of the American Entomological Society; an Honorary Member of the National Pest Control Association; an Honorary Fellow of the Sociedad Chilean de Entomologia; an Honorary Member of the Kebun Raya Indonesia (Botanical Gardens of Indonesia); and a Fellow of the Entomological Society of London. In 1952, he was the recipient of the Bernardo O'Higgins Order of Merit of the government of Chile.

(May 10) The papers of Charles P. Alexander offer comprehensive documentation of his
professional career and personal affairs. Especially well represented in the
papers is material relating to his early studies of birds and insects, his
collegiate career at Cornell University, his research on the Tipulidae, the
development of his crane fly collection, field work and collecting trips, his
teaching and administrative careers at the University of Massachusetts,
Amherst, and his activities in entomological societies and professional
organizations. Alexander was a prolific letter writer, and over half the
collection consists of correspondence written and received between 1906 and
1979. The correspondence reflects all phases of his career and is particularly
rich in documenting crane fly research and the building of Alexander's
personal collection of Tipulidae. Alexander's network of correspondents was
world-wide, and in several instances letters describing political and social
issues (especially during World War II) are found. Also included are many
letters to friends and family members concerning personal matters. The
collection is particularly strong in documenting field work and collecting
trips conducted by Alexander, 1904-1964. Included are field notes, diaries and
journals (kept by both Alexander and his wife, Mabel) documenting his initial
observations on birds and insects in upstate New York; extensive collecting in
the western United States, western Canada and Alaska; and field work executed
in New England, the Great Smoky Mountains and the maritime provinces of
Canada. Field work is also illustrated by many photographs and color slides
taken by Alexander. Materials relating to the personal life and family
history of Alexander, and his wife Mabel, are found throughout the collection.
Included is genealogical and biographical information on their families; an
autobiographical sketch which documents Alexander's life to 1915; magazine
articles and newspaper clippings concerning Alexander; correspondence relating
to honors and awards, lectures and his retirement from teaching; and records
summarizing his research, publications and collection. Of particular interest
is his "Crane Fly Haven" Guest Book which contains many personal reminiscences
and includes biographical data on entomologists. Photographic
documentation of Alexander's life and work is a major strength of the
collection. Included are numerous photographs of Alexander, 1895-1979; pictures
of his wife Mabel; and various family photographs. Alexander was an
outstanding photographer and his papers contain over 10,000 35mm color
transparencies. The slides thoroughly illustrate field work conducted by
Alexander, 1951-1964, especially in western North America and include many
fine pictures of flora and fauna encountered on the trips. Many slides of
entomologists, professional colleagues and family members are also found. Records dealing with Alexander's crane fly research and collection include
specimen lists, research notes, species tabulations, locality data, loan
documentation, maps, photographs, drawings and figures, shipment lists,
information on collectors, bibliographic references, manuscripts and
reprints. The papers contain a wealth of information for researchers
interested in the history of entomology. In addition to corresponding with
many prominent entomologists, Alexander also collected biographical data on,
and photographs of, many colleagues. The material includes autobiographical
sketches solicited by Alexander, photographs, biographical data assembled by
Alexander, newspaper clippings, obituaries, and publications. His collection of
35mm color slides also includes many pictures of entomologists. The
papers also include diaries and notebooks kept by Alexander during his student
years at Cornell University and during his career at the University of
Massachusetts, Amherst; diplomas and certificates awarded Alexander; copies of
lectures and examinations given by Alexander; correspondence and a notebook of
the New Zealand insect collector, Thomas R. Harris; and photographs,
correspondence, and family papers of the entomologist, Jay R. Traver. This series consists of incoming and outgoing correspondence relating to the professional career and personal life of Charles P. Alexander. A prolific letter writer, Alexander maintained an extensive correspondence with domestic and foreign entomologists and insect collectors. Especially well represented is correspondence with dipterists. Correspondents also include university colleagues and officials; representatives of professional organizations; editors of professional journals; staff of museums, research foundations, scientific societies, colleges and universities; and family members and friends. The correspondence documents Alexander's collegiate days at Cornell University, his career as a university professor and administrator, his research on crane flies and the development of his crane fly collection, collecting trips and field work, professional activities, the preparation and publication of manuscripts, and personal affairs. Letters describing twentieth-century political and social situations, especially in Europe and Asia, are found in a few instances and are noted in the folder listing. Also included is a correspondence log maintained by Alexander for the years 1966-1976. Arranged alphabetically. Box 1 of 119

This series consists primarily of biographical information and photographs gathered by Charles P. Alexander on entomologists, collectors and naturalists. Alexander often requested biographical information and photographs from fellow entomologists and the families of deceased colleagues. Thus, the material includes autobiographical sketches and information; family recollections; photographs, including portraits, field pictures, group photographs and casual snapshots; information resulting from Alexander's research; newspaper clippings; obituaries; and articles and publications. Also included are papers, written by Alexander, concerning the history of crane fly research in Ecuador, Japan and New Zealand; and an account of entomology at Massachusetts Agricultural College prepared by Alexander.

This series contains 35mm color slides taken and collected by Charles P. Alexander. The slides provide comprehensive documentation of field work and collecting trips conducted by Alexander from 1940 to 1964, especially in the western United States, western Canada, and Alaska. Also included are slides taken on field trips to the Great Smoky Mountains, New England, and the maritime provinces of Canada.
