Abstract: Papers of physical oceanographer George McEwen, including a small amount of material documenting early days at the Scripps Institution of Oceanography and the first series of Pan-Pacific scientific congresses.

Languages: English .

Scope and Content of Collection

George F. McEwen (1882-1972) was a physical oceanographer who began his academic career at the Scripps Institution in 1912 (that year, it was formally transferred to The Regents of the University of California as the Scripps Institution for Biological Research, later to become the Scripps Institution of Oceanography). His papers include a selection of his correspondence, research and subject files, reports, professional organization files, material on early Pan-Pacific science congresses, manuscripts, weather forecasting data, and calculations. It includes substantial but by no means complete documentation of McEwen's research in hydrography and meteorology, including hydrographic data on Alaska dated 1927-1929, and annual reports on McEwen's research dated 1919-1934 compiled for the director of Scripps and the President of the University of California. The collection also includes some of McEwen's seasonal weather forecasts dated 1924-1936, along with other lectures and scientific papers. The bulk of the correspondence is dated from 1919-1936, when McEwen undertook extensive calculations on ocean currents and prepared long-range weather forecasts, exchanging letters with representatives of federal agencies, including the U.S. Navy, U.S. Weather Service, and Department of Agriculture. Writings and correspondence from collaborators N. W. Cummings and Polish scientist Wladyslaw Gorczyński may also be found in the collection. Some of the data in the collection predate McEwen's tenure at Scripps; for example, the logbook "University of California San Pedro record of stations occupied, 1901" was compiled by UC scientists at San Pedro station, where William Ritter conducted summer biological laboratories before establishing a permanent marine station in San Diego. Early documentation of academics at the Scripps Institution include course lists and curriculum materials describing lectures and offerings. McEwen kept voluminous documentation of his 1926 trip to Japan for the 3rd Pan-Pacific Science Congress, in Tokyo, including travel ephemera and scientific programs.

Arranged in 7 series: 1) BIOGRAPHICAL, 2) CORRESPONDENCE, 3) PACIFIC SCIENCE CONGRESSES, 4) RESEARCH, 5) UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA & SIO, 6) ORGANIZATIONS, and 7) WORKS BY OTHERS.

Processing Information

The original SIO Archivist noted, in the early 1980s, that the McEwen papers did not arrive at the Library with any meaningful existing order. The bulk of the material had been stored in the attic of Ritter Hall. The papers were originally processed by keeping McEwen's few larger groupings of research materials (such as mathematical tables and tide calculations) together, and imposing a standard order by genre/format on the rest of the collection. In 2022, all loose unprocessed McEwen accessions were folded into the main collection, the material was re-appraised, and the existing series tightened up with enhanced folder titles for an EAD finding aid.

Related Materials

All of the collections cited below are held by Special Collections & Archives, UC San Diego Library.

SIO Biographical Files (SAC 5): Includes eleven folders of McEwen correspondence and other papers dated 1912-1971.

SIO Subject Files (SAC 6): Includes documentation of McEwen's 1936-1939 project to compile oceanographic data for the U.S. Hydrographic Office at Long Beach.

Tillie Genter Papers (SMC 30) and the SIO Photographs Collection (SMC 59) include several photographs of McEwen.

McEwen correspondence can also be found in the papers of several of McEwen's colleagues and students including the Nephi Willard Cummings Papers (accession 88-4), the Wladyslaw Gorczynski Papers (accession 88-11). and the Ellis LeRoy Michael Papers (accession 88-3).
