V.C. Brink fonds. 1944-1983.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/606456893

The fonds consists of records which reflect Brink's participation on the Environmental Assessment Panel (1973-1983) and The Nature Trust (1984-1987). The papers also include material arranged in the following series: correspondence, teaching and research. The papers also include reference booklets and pamphlets. Each series is arranged in chronological order. Because Brink rarely identified titles of files, each series is arranged in chronological order. Where file titles do exist, they are arranged in alphabetical order within the appropriate chronological sequence. The records primarily contain one large correspondence series from 1953 to 1975, with bulk dates of 1961 to 1971. The correspondence appears to contain Brink's faculty papers intermingled with the central office files of the Division of Plant Science. In 1964, the classification system used by the division appears to have been discontinued, and the vast majority of files were stored by Brink in unlabelled file folders, most of which exhibit no internal coherence. Many documents were never placed in file folders at all. Because of the presence of Brink's faculty papers in the files, and because of the absence of the division's classification system, the records from 1961 to 1971 have been arranged with Brink's personal papers. The correspondence has been arranged in chronological order by year only, without reference to months and days.
