Papers, 1898-1958.

Papers of a Wisconsin-born zoologist, employed by the U.S. Biological Survey (1910-1940) and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (1940-1951); including correspondence and research reports. Jackson authored a monumental survey of Wisconsin mammals in 1961 and much of the correspondence, 1922-1958, focuses upon that publication and a series of books Jackson edited for the Society of American Mammalogists. The reports consist of field observations of Wisconsin mammals made by Jackson, 1912-1955, scattered reports by other researchers, and 1940 field observations made by Jackson and Olaus Murie in the western United States.
