Williams Sociologist and Social Historian Umpqua National Forest P.O. Box 1008 Roseburg, Oregon97L70 and Willamette National Forest P.O. Box 10607 Eugene, Oregon 97LO September 20, 1985 Publication #R-6-Umpqua-005--1 985 2 INTRODUCTION The following is a listing of selected references concerning the Forest Service policy. The listing is especially relevant to the Pacific Northwest, related government agencies, and portions of the private section, but does provide numerous references on special Forest Service topics as well as other portions of the country and related Federal agencies. It is intended to "spark" the interest of other researchers who have an interest in the history of present and past forest policy. Hopefully, additional references will be forwarded to the compiler so that a more complete listing will be available to researchers. This listing uses the American Sociological Association reference style rather than the standard historical reference format.Several major bibliographic sources on North American forest history, especially Forest Service history, should be consulted for additional references: Davis, Richard C. 1977 North American Forest History A Guide to Archives and Manuscripts in the United States and Canada. Santa Barbara, CA: ABC-Clio Press. Dodds, Gordon B. 1971 "Conservation and Reclamation in the Trans-Mississippi West'A Critical Bibliography."Arizona and the West,, Vol. 13 (Swriner): 143-71.

Steen, Judith A. 1973 "A Guide to Unpublished Sources for a History of the United States Forest Service " Unpublished manuscript. Santa Cruz, CA Forest History Society. In addition, the reader may wish to consult a two volume encyclopedia of forest history. These volumes contain brief entries regarding most aspects of forest and conservation history and includes biographies and photographs.The two volume set was published in conjunction with the Forest History Society Davis, Richard C. (ad.) 1983 Encyclopedia of AmericanJorst and Conservation History Two volumes. New York, NY: Macmillan Publishing Company. 3 The selected listing of references is divided into five different sections. The FIRST SETI0N is concerned with Forest Service history at the national level, with subsections for general history and special topics. The special topics subsection deals with such diverse topics as WWI Forestry Regiments, aerial patrols after WWI, fires and lookouts, smokejumpers, range and grazing, forest homesteads, land frauds, recreation use, public involvement, sociology and economics, conxminity stability, YCC, Job Corps, women employees, olearcutting controversy, below cost timber sales, sustained-yield forestry, and the Wil- derness/RARE I & II controversy. The SECOND SECTION concerns the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) that was active during the Great Depression from 1933 to 1942. This section contains Forest Service references and other federal, state, local, and private forest CCC references. The CCC section is divided into three subtopics: The national CCC organization, the CCC in the Pacific Northwest, and the CCC in other parts of the country. The THIRD SECTION of this selected reference list concerns the history of the Forest Service Regions, with one subtopic dealing with the Pacific Northwest Region and another with the other Forest Service Regions. The FOURTH SECTION lists the National Forest history references for the Pacific Northwest Region and the other Regions. SECTION FIVE handles the references that are related to, but not dependent on, Forest Service history. One subtopic concerns federal and state agencies that are related to Forest Service history, while another sub- topic concerns private forestry or company history as it relates to Forest Service history in the Pacific Northwest. Reference to Timberlines in the following list refers to the annual publication of the Thirty Year Club (retirees from Region Six), while mention of Six Twenty- Six refers to the Forest Service newsletter published from 1916-1942 by the Information Office of the Pacific Northwest Region in Portland. Also, there are a number of references to periodicals such as The Forester, Forestry and Irrigation, Conservation, American Forestry, American Forests and Forest Life, and American Forests. These monthly journals are all publications of the American Forestry Association (AFA). Although the names of the periodi- cals are different, the volumes are consecutively numbered. The first name was The Forester which was first printed in 1895 by John Gifford of Princeton, N.J., and titled the New Jersey Forester.In 1898, the American Forestry Association took over the publication as the official journal of the AFA. The names and dates of these various publications are as follows: New Jersey Forester 1895-1897 Volumes 1 to 3 The Forester 1898-1901 Volumes 4 to7 Forestry and Irrigation 1902-1908 Volumes 8 to 14 Conservation 1909 Volumes 14 to 15 American Forestry 1910-1923 Volumes 16 to 29 American Forests and Forest Life192141930 Volumes 30 to 36 American Forests 1931-presentVolumes 37 to present The name of the official publication for the Forest History Society has changed over the years. It was first called the Forest History Newsletter in volume 1 (1957-1958),Forest History for volumes 2 through 17 (1958-1974), and finally the current title Journal of Forest History (since1974).

Title: Limited Horizons on the Oregon Frontier: East Tualatin Plains and the Town of Hillsboro, Washington county, 1840 - 1890. APPROVED BY MEMBE~~~ THESIS COMMITTEE: David Johns n, ~on B. Dodds Michael Reardon Daniel O'Toole The evolution of the small towns that originated in Oregon's settlement communities remains undocumented in the literature of the state's history for the most part. Those .::: accounts that do exist are often amateurish, and fail to establish the social and economic links between Oregon's frontier towns to the agricultural communities in which they appeared. The purpose of the thesis is to investigate an early settlement community and the small town that grew up in its midst in order to better understand the ideological relationship between farmers and townsmen that helped shape Oregon's small towns.

The period of study begins when the British owned Hudson’s Bay Company began to farm land in and around Fort Vancouver in 1825, and ends in 1861—during the time when agrarian settlement was beginning to expand east of the Cascade Mountains.

  • Western Juniper Utilization Group Declaration of Cooperation July, 2013
    Western Juniper Utilization Group Declaration of Cooperation July, 2013 PROJECT OVERVIEW Juniper treatment is a key component of rangeland and sage grouse restoration. This restoration work has tremendous potential to create jobs, provide new economic opportunities to the timber and wood products industries throughout Oregon, and provide another sustainable resource for biomass energy related uses. Expanded job opportunities related utilization of juniper beyond the initial work created by the restoration projects themselves merit greater attention. There is general agreement that invasive juniper needs to be removed from both public and privately- owned lands to improve grazing conditions, discourage the spread of invasive weeds, improve water supplies, decrease wildlife risks in our communities, and to restore available habitat for sensitive species like the sage grouse. In addition, juniper treatment is a key component of rangeland restoration, has tremendous potential to create jobs, provide new economic opportunities to the timber and wood products industries throughout Oregon, and provide another plentiful resource for biomass energy- related uses. Oregon ranchers, the US Department of Agriculture and federal land managers are aggressively pursuing rangeland restoration projects to benefit sage grouse habitat and support the state’s interests in maintaining and growing sage grouse populations while also seeking to assure the long-term viability of ranching and our ranching communities. Expanding opportunities related to the utilization of juniper can also create additional jobs beyond those created through the restoration process themselves. The extent of these opportunities is framed in large part by the location and volume of invasive juniper potentially available as a byproduct of restoration after factoring in environmental and logistical considerations.

    PRELIMINARY INVENTORY OF THE CARTOGRAPHIC RECORDS OF THE FOREST SERVICE (Record Group 95) Compiled by Charlotte M. Ashby The National Archives National Archives .and Records Service General Services Administration Washington: 1967 National Archives Publication No. 67-5 Library of Congress Catalog Card No. A67-7213 FOREWORD GSA through the National Archives and Records Service is responsible for administering the permanent noncurrent records of the Federal Government. These archival hold­ ings, now amounting to about 900,000 cubic feet, date from the days of the Continental Congresses; they include the basic records of the three branches of our Government-­ Congress, the courts, and the executive departments and independent agencies. The Presidential Libraries.. - Hoover, Roosevelt, Truman, and Eisenhower--contain the papers of those Presidents and many of their associates in office. Among our holdings are many hallowed documents relating to great events of our Nation's history, preserved and ven­ erated as symbols to stimulate a worthy patriotism in all of us. But most of the records are l~ss dramatic, kept because of their continuing practical utility for the ordinary proc­ esses of government, for the protection of private rights, and for the research use of students and scholars. To facilitatethe use of the records and to describetheir nature and content, our archivists prepare various kinds of finding aids. The present work is one suchpublication. We believe that it will prove valuable to anyone who wishes to use the records it describes. LAWSON B. KNOTT, JR. Administrator of General Services iii PREFACE The first step in the records-description program of the National Archives is the compilation of preliminary invento­ ries of the material in some 380 record groups to which the holdings of the National Archives are allocated.
