Guide to the Cornell Forestry School Field Trips Photograph Collection, 1928 - 1934
Abstract:
This finding aid describes a collection of 174 black-and-white photographs taken or collected by American forester Arthur Bernard Recknagel (1883 - 1962) while he was a professor of forestry at Cornell University in New York. The images document field trips taken by Cornell University forestry students to South Carolina during the years 1928 to 1934. Scenes of students observing logging practices and practicing forestry field work dominate the collection, although a Florida tie treating plant and several South Carolina tourist sites are also depicted. The images are housed in two photograph albums that comprise part of the A. B. Recknagel Auxiliary Photograph Collection in the Forest History Society Archives.

Biographical/Historical Note
Arthur B. "Reck" Recknagel (1883 - 1962) had a long and varied career in forestry as a forester with the U.S. Forest Service, as a professor of forest management, and later as a leader and consultant in the paper industry. A widely respected industrial forester, he was also a prolific writer, authoring many technical articles and books dealing with forest management, taxation, and the pulp and paper industry.
After graduating from the Yale School of Forestry in 1906 with a master of forestry degree, Recknagel served until 1913 as chief of forest reconnaissance for the U.S. Forest Service. Accepting an offer from Cornell University, he taught in the Department of Forestry until 1943, sometimes leading his classes on field trips to obtain practical training. In 1943 he left to become area forester for New York in the Timber Production War Project, given the responsibility of developing timber supplies for the war effort.
Simultaneous to these assignments, Recknagel also served the Empire State Forest Products Association as forester and executive secretary from 1917 until 1948. After World War II and following a second stint in academia as head of the University of British Columbia forestry faculty, he accepted the position of technical director of forestry for the St. Regis Pulp and Paper Company in 1948. He retired from St. Regis in 1953 to enter practice as an industry consultant.
A member of the Society of American Foresters since 1908 and a chairman from 1940 to 1941, Recknagel was elected a Fellow of the Society in 1961. Arthur Recknagel died in August of 1962 in his home state of New York.
Scope and Content Note
This collection contains 174 black-and-white photographic images taken during the late 1920s and early 1930s when forestry professor Arthur Bernard Recknagel (1883 - 1962) led his Cornell University forestry students on field trips to the southern United States. These images fill two albums and document the school's field trip activities in the state of South Carolina. The images primarily depict students observing logging activities and forest management practices being used at that time in South Carolina. Most of the images have limited caption information. The albums are two of four total albums comprising the A. B. Recknagel Auxiliary Photograph Collection housed in the Forest History Society Archives.
Organization of Collection
This collection is organized into two series, each representing the contents a single photograph album: A. B. Recknagel Auxiliary Photograph Collection, Album 2, which contains 106 black-and-white photographic images; and (2) A. B. Recknagel Auxiliary Photograph Collection, Album 3, which contains 68 black-and-white photographs. The "Detailed Description of Collection" section of this guide includes a thumbnail digital representation of each image; brief cataloging information for each image; and a hyperlink to a [Digital Surrogate] that displays a larger version of the digital image as well as supplemental descriptive information.
Also available for browsing is a complete Photo Gallery that includes digital representations of all images from these two A. B. Recknagel photograph albums. The gallery consists of index pages displaying thumbnail images with links to pages containing larger digital images and descriptive data.
