Tule Elk Bulk, 1914-1933 1914-1972 and undated

Scope and content

By the late nineteenth century, growing concern that the California tule elk were in danger of extinction if they were kept only in their original habitats led to efforts to relocate part of the herd. In 1914 and 1915, the Academy relocated tule elk from the property of the Miller and Lux company in the San Joaquin Valley to various locations around the state. This process entailed contacting people at potential locations, rounding up the elk, and then shipping them by rail from Buttonwillow, California to their new destinations.

Alaska Fur Seals 1892-1930s

Scope and content

This subseries consists primarily of materials relating to Evermann's work on fur seal matters while he was an employee of the U.S. Fish Commission and the Bureau of Fisheries. The bulk of the material relates either to his work in 1892, when he was appointed Fur Seal Commissioner for that year, or to his involvement in the political controversy over fur seals that began in 1911 after the United States, United Kingdom, Russia, and Japan signed a treaty that outlawed the hunting of fur seals on water.
The controversy centered on a bill in Congress to temporarily outlaw the hunting of fur seals on land controlled by the United States, in addition to ratifying the terms of the treaty. Evermann and other scientists supported the treaty but opposed the additional ban on hunting fur seals on land. Both the treaty and the additional ban were passed into law.
