Personal collection of Clyde Dewey Mueller. [1942-1995]

This collection contains personal correspondence (1959-70) of a portion of Dr. Mueller's years as a poultry geneticist for a number of United States and foreign chicken and turkey breeders. There are also numerous files giving breeding techniques and computer programs (1953-84) which he used in improving economic traits of poultry. Sections of the collection contain various documents relating to the work of national committees such as the National Committee on Random Sample Poultry Testing and the Poultry Breeders of America (1954-84). Actual random sample test reports published by the USDA and by participating states are included (1952-78). An extensive compilation of brochures published by a dozen different poultry breeders chronicles the progress made in improving poultry during the working career of Dr. Mueller (1939-89). The autobiography of Clyde D. Mueller, covering the period from his birth in 1918 through 1995, provides a detailed account of family, friends, and career accomplishments.
