Papers, 1866-1976, bulk 1947-1976.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/31875379

Divided into two series, the Harrisson papers document his career as a turtle researcher and as conservationist. The papers contain many of Harrisson's complete manuscripts, including the book length, unpublished Turtle island, his turtle notes and observation records beginning in 1947, correspondence, some published writings, manuscripts and secondary materials of other writers, and his IUCN files. A small portion of the papers are personal, or relate to subjects other than turtles. The papers are particularly strong in documentation of sea turtles in Malaysia and Indonesia as well as other islands of the Pacific and Indian Oceans. The question of turtle farming was a major problem for turtle conservationists and the IUCN. A large portion of the documents deal with the efforts of Mariculture, ltd., a Grand Cayman based venture. Principal correspondents include H. Robert Bustard, David K. Caldwell, Archie F. Carr, Richard S. Fitter, J.R. Hendrickson, George R. Hughes, Nicholas Mrosovsky, Peter Pritchard, and Sir Peter Scott.
