Field notebooks, reprint articles, speeches,
survey abstracts, photographs, diaries, and correspondence pertaining to
Shantz's interests in worldwide agriculture and botany. Shantz's various trips
to Africa resulted in extensive field notes, including those for the
Smithsonian African Expedition, 1919 to 1920, and the African Education
Commission, 1923 to 1924. Background material he collected about Africa
encompasses maps; postcards; dictionaries and primers on languages, including
Swahili; also, articles on the people, the areas they inhabited, and specific
problems, such as the tsetse fly, sleeping sickness, forced labor, and race
relations. Photographs of his travels from the Cape to Cairo depict the Nile,
Egyptian ruins, wild and domestic animals, vegetation and the landscape,
villages and cities, and people in tribal dress. Communal activities documented
include cultivation, thatching roofs, building a road, and weaving a large
bamboo mat to cover a bridge walkway.

Scope and Content Note
Field notebooks, reprint articles, speeches, survey abstracts,
photographs, diaries, and correspondence pertaining to Shantz's interests in
worldwide agriculture and botany. Shantz's various trips to Africa resulted in
extensive field notes, including those for the Smithsonian African Expedition,
1919 to 1920, and the African Education Commission, 1923 to 1924. Background
material he collected about Africa encompasses maps; postcards; dictionaries
and primers on languages, including Swahili; also, articles on the people, the
areas they inhabited, and specific problems, such as the tsetse fly, sleeping
sickness, forced labor, and race relations. Photographs of his travels from the
Cape to Cairo depict the Nile, Egyptian ruins, wild and domestic animals,
vegetation and the landscape, villages and cities, and people in tribal dress.
Communal activities documented include cultivation, thatching roofs, building a
road, and weaving a large bamboo mat to cover a bridge walkway.
United States material primarily concerns the West, with a focus on
Colorado. A study of its vegetation changes includes over 200 photographs.
Items from other countries are South American survey abstracts by various
authors; Shantz's diary and notes from the International Phytogeographic
Expedition to Switzerland, 1923; also his field notes and diaries from Ontario,
1916; the U.S.S.R., 1930; and Germany, 1934. Correspondence concerns his
various projects. The bound reprints of his writings have some material
concerning wildlife, as it relates to larger ecological schemes.
