Papers, 1933-1995.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/44178948

The collection consists of correspondence dated 1933-1995, subject files, and other material documenting the career of Edwin Lee Hamilton. The correspondence includes letters exchanged with Robert S. Dietz, Harry Hess, Gordon MacDonald, and H. William Menard. The collection documents the work of the Sea Floor Studies Group of the Navy Electronics Laboratory in San Diego, California. The subject files include Hamilton's class notes for lectures by R.L. Bolin on ecology of marine animals given at Hopkins Marine Station in 1949. The notebooks include some field observations, but consist largely of notes and data collected for Hamilton's scientific papers. The photographs and slides series consists largely of images created or collected for lectures and scientific papers, although the series includes a few slides taken on MidPac Expedition.
