• Institute of Statistics, 1959 - 1981

  
  10 folder, 0.3 linear feet
  
  This series contains records of cooperative ventures, known as the Southeastern Fish and Game Statistics Project, between the North Carolina State College Institute of Statistics and at least nine states: Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi, North Carolina, Tennessee, and Virginia. The role of the Institute of Statistics was to provide consultant services to the states on the design and analysis of wildlife research, and to develop sound and efficient statistical techniques for such design and analysis. These records are broken into two sub-series: General Correspondence, which includes analyses of statistical projects forwarded to those states for whom the Archives does not have specific records; And the records for Alabama, whose general records contain largely administrative and financial records. Alabama's cooperative agreement was initiated in 1959 and was renewed each year to 1981. Research projects for Alabama include the calculation of the extent of the wild turkey population as an aid in resource management. They also include a set of sophisticated analyses intended to provide specific measurements by which researchers can accurately determine the age of young rabbits. These analyses were overseen by Dr. Don W. Hayne in his dual role as statistician and zoologist.

• Workshops, 1950 - 1953

  
  7 folder, 0.25 linear feet
  
  This series contains handbooks used in the two-day "schools" for which staff members of the North Carolina Agricultural Experiment Station, the Agricultural Extension Service, the Division of College Extension, and others served as faculty. The two schools herein were similar, but the Pesticide School was conducted primarily for merchants who dealt in fungicides, insecticides, and herbicides rather than those in the pest control industry. Material in the handbooks was compiled by various agencies, including the Entomology Section, Department of Zoology; Plant Pathology Section, Department of Botany; Department of Agronomy of the School of Agriculture; and the Rodent Control Section, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. They contain pamphlets, publications, and prepared notes regarding particular chemicals and the laws that control their use. The material is filed chronologically.

• Projects, Grants, and Proposals, 1951 - 1982

  
  3.5 records storage box, 1.75 linear feet
  
  This series contains proposals, grant applications, progress updates, and formal reports related to individual research projects of the members of the Department. The records of each project vary in degree of documentation. Some of these projects were significant for the management of natural resources. For example, a study of the striped bass in the Roanoke River in North Carolina provided a sound basis on which to proceed with multiple uses of the river without disrupting the fish's survival. The research projects ranged as far away as Texas and Alaska, but most were conducted in North Carolina, in places such as the Pamlico River Estuary, Currituck Sound, Cape Hatteras National Seashore, the Chowan River, Lake Hyco, and the cities of Brunswick, and New Bern. Subject areas include studies of fish, birds, amphibians, reptiles, insects, mammals, bacteria, diseases, and cryogenics. In addition, the series contains studies on topics such as the ecological effects of road construction, land-use pattern changes, and nuclear power plants on the surrounding wildlife and natural resources. This series is filed alphabetically by research project title. Note that the parenthetical dates after each project title indicate the project start and termination dates.

• Ecology Program Records, 1968 - 1984

  
  1 records storage box, 0.5 linear feet
  
  This series contains correspondence, meeting minutes and notes, memoranda, program information, proposals, reports, and seminar flyers. The Ecology Program was established in 1971 and was jointly administered through the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences and the College of Forestry (now the College of Natural Resources). These records mostly concern the activities of the Ecology Advisory Committee, as well as the moves towards creating the program during the late 1960s. The records are arranged chronologically, as received from former program head Sam Mozley.
