Historical Note

The department of Wood and Paper Science began in 1949 under the direction of department head Roy M. Carter who initiated both wood science and pulp technology curricula. It was originally called the Department of Wood Science and Technology until its name change to the Department of Wood and Paper Science in 1968. James S. Bethel served as department head from 1959 until 1961 whereupon the School hired Eric L. Ellwood to head up the department . He served from 1962 until 1971, when he became Dean of the School of Forest Resources. Following Ellwood, Dr. Irving S. Goldstein was head from 1971 to 1976, succeeded by Richard J. Thomas in 1978.

Detailed Description of the Collection

Series 1:General Records, 1948 - 1986

5.5 linear feet, 11 records storage boxes

The General Records series contains numerous research proposals and reports documenting the scientific work of the faculty and its students. A number of foundations and corporations sponsored research including the National Science Foundation (NSF), the U.S. Atomic Energy Commission, United States Forest Service (USFS), and the Cooperative State Research Service (CSRS). Several projects were undertaken with McIntire-Stennis (MS) funds provided by the federal government. In 1952, the Pulp and Paper program was approved by SREB as the only school in the South to offer undergraduate instruction in the field. Kentucky, Tennessee, Texas and Virginia agreed to pay tuition for students from their states to undertake instruction in pulp and paper curriculum. The records also reflect Department Head Eric Ellwood's presidency and committee involvement in the Society of Wood Science and Technology. Also included is some correspondence of professor A. C. Barefoot, including correspondence regarding his work on the Winchester (England) dendrochronological project during the 1960s - 1970s.

Series 2:Hodges Wood Products Laboratory, 1950 - 1974

2 linear feet, 4 records storage boxes

The second series, the Hodges Wood Products Laboratory files, contains material documenting the research and administration of the Wood Products Laboratory. Part of the department of Wood and Paper Science, the Laboratory was established during the same year, 1949, to serve the needs of any curricula involving solid wood products. The Laboratory is used both as a teaching and research facility. Its original location was in the National Youth Administration Woodworking Shop on Western Boulevard. The second location of the Laboratory was in the basement of Kilgore Hall, where it resided from 1952 until a separate building, the Brandon P. Hodges Wood Products Laboratory was dedicated in 1960. James S. Bethel served as Superintendent of the Laboratory until 1957, succeeded by Robert C. Gilmore. The series contains numerous research reports from the Laboratory reflecting their work on such topics as moisture movement through wood, veneer log grades, properties and uses of tropical woods, and gluing studies. The research work done under the auspices of numerous companies and foundations including the United States Forest Service, R.J. Reynolds Tobacco Co., Scott Paper Co., and International Paper Co. Also included is some correspondence, equipment reports, and the Laboratory building dedication program.
