Background

Scope and content:

The Charles D. Holliger field notes are composed of one standard-bound volume of field notes with map and specimen sketches. This volume includes three sections spanning the years 1912-1915 and feature localities in California. Also included are photographic notes detailing photographs taken in 1915.

Biographical / historical:

Born in 1883 in Fayette County, Illinois, Charles D. Holliger entered the UC system in 1909. Attending UC Berkeley, he received his B.S. in 1913, M.S. in 1914, and M.D. in 1916. He also served as a clerical assistant at the MVZ from 1910-1914, where his responsibilities included photographing specimens. Overall, Holliger collected more than 600 specimens that became part of the MVZ collection, with the majority being mammals. He collected primarily within California, and was a member of the field trip that produced the monograph Life in the Yosemite by Joseph Grinnell and Tracy I. Storer.
