Language of Materials:English
Summary:

This accession consists of the papers of tropical ecologist and evolutionary biologist Egbert ("Bert") Giles Leigh, Jr. Leigh received his B. A. in Math from Princeton University in 1962 and his Ph. D. in Biology from Yale University in 1966. Leigh served as an assistant professor in biology from 1966 through 1972 at Princeton, but was also appointed by the University to serve as a biologist at the Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute (STRI) beginning in 1969. In 1972, Leigh left Princeton to become a full-time staff scientist at STRI, moving to Panama with his wife Elizabeth ("Lizzie") Hodgson Leigh and raising a family in a growing community of both American and international researchers. The Leighs lived on Barro Colorado Island and the nearby town of Gamboa for much of the next 50 years until the death of Lizzie in 2008 and the end of Bert's emeritus scientist status in 2019. Much of this accession documents Bert Leigh's research trips and field observations. Lizzie Leigh often accompanied him on these trips and occasionally kept field notes or trip diaries as well. The Leighs made numerous trips to Madagascar, Malaysia (generally referred to by Leigh as "Malaya," the pre-1963 name for the region), India, and Tatoosh Island, Washington. They also traveled extensively through Panama and to other tropical regions throughout the world. In addition, this accession documents the STRI research community and the unique relationships formed between long-time staff and their families and shorter-term visiting researchers. Much of the correspondence is addressed to both Bert and Lizzie, to the entire family, or even to just Lizzie and is often more personal than professional in nature. Photographs of friends, family, pets, and day-to-day life accompany those of specimens and research activities. Materials in this accession include correspondence, slides, photographs, greeting cards, postcards, field notes, diaries, plant censuses, trip reports, scientific illustrations, identification guides, sketches, permits, grant proposals, lecture notes, and related materials.
