[Nhcoll-l] Historic USDA bird observation records?

[Erica Krimmel]

Hi all,

 

The USDA had a Division of Ornithology and Mammalogy in the late 1800s
that recorded bird observations at different stations (among other
things). Has anyone seen any of these such records already digitized? We
have a researcher interested in historic bird observations who is
considering transcribing our paper copies, but before he does that I
figured I would make sure he isn't re-doing work, since what we have in
our archives are marked as copies of what the original observer mailed
in to USDA (in 1893...).

 

Much thanks,

Erica
