Summary:

This record unit documents the administration of the Department of Biology under Head Curators Frederick William True, 1897-1911, and Leonhard Stejneger, 1911-1943. Records include correspondence of the Department, 1897-1943; quarterly reports, 1910-1940; annual reports, 1901, 1911-1941; and plans of operation, 1911-1940. In addition, a small amount of correspondence in this record unit is directed to James E. Benedict (1854-1940), who was appointed Chief of Exhibits in the Department of Biology in 1909. His title was changed to Assistant Curator in 1918, and he continued in that position until his retirement in 1930.

Historical Note

The Department of Biology was created during the reorganization of the United States National Museum (USNM) in 1897. At that time, the various departments in the biological sciences became divisions, and the Department of Biology was formed as the administrative unit controlling those divisions. Frederick William True (1858-1914) became the first head curator of biology and held the position until 1911. In 1911, Leonhard Stejneger (1851-1943) was appointed head curator and remained in that capacity until his death in 1943. A small amount of correspondence in this record unit is directed to James E. Benedict (1854-1930), who was appointed chief of exhibits in the Department of Biology in 1909. His title was changed to assistant curator in 1918, and he continued in that position until his retirement in 1930.

Series 1

INCOMING CORRESPONDENCE, 1897-1914. ARRANGED ALPHABETICALLY.

This series consists of incoming correspondence compiled by the Department of Biology from its origin in 1897 to 1914. Although the outgoing correspondence for this period was maintained in letterpress books (see series 3), a small amount is found in this series. The correspondence is almost exclusively directed to Head Curators Frederick William True, 1897-1911 and Leonhard Stejneger, 1911-1943. Beginning in 1909, a small amount of correspondence is addressed to James E. Benedict in his capacity as chief of exhibits. Most of the correspondence is from museum officials, divisional staff members, naturalists, and collectors and concerns the identification, exchange, and distribution of specimens; museum administration; collecting work; museum publications; and general requests for information. Materials of special interest include correspondence concerning Smithsonian and National Museum involvement at expositions, letters from naturalists and collectors in the field, and plans and accounts of expeditions.
