Series Description:

From the Series:

This series contains personal journals and field notebooks extending over most of Alfred Gross' life. Some of the items are specifically for recording scientific information. Others, such as his journals kept during his two around the world trips (1955-56 and 1957-58) record both his vacations with his wife and scientific information. many of the journals have handwritten indices, photograph guides, and page numbers. Several journals have letters, photographs, and articles pasted to their pages. While working on the Gull/Cormorant Control Project daily records were kept of project activities. The records from 1944-1951 are included in this series. Also in this series is a subject guide to certain species and locations of interest on note cards. These cards detail bird sightings and in many instances there is a reference to one of Gross' yearly journals and page number.

Acknowledgment of non-neutrality

The George J. Mitchell Department of Special Collections & Archives, like all archives and special collections libraries, is the creation of human beings who have collected, organized, and described things in ways that reflect personal, cultural, societal, and institutional biases. Although we strive to preserve and present collections in a manner that is respectful to the individuals and communities who create, use, and are represented in the collections, we acknowledge that our systems are neither neutral nor perfect. We encourage you to let us know if you encounter materials, descriptive language, or practices that are offensive or harmful, particularly those for which inadequate context or warning is offered. We are committed to modifying and updating our descriptive practices to use respectful and inclusive terminology and appreciate your help in this work. We look forward to supporting you in your research and learning together.
