Easter Cupp papers, 1925-1946.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/646200549

The collection consists of 2 cubic feet of papers of biological oceanographer Dr. Easter Ellen Cupp and largely documents her work at the Scripps Institution of Oceanography and her study of plankton during the period 1925-1946. The papers include memoranda and some correspondence, files on diatoms and phytoplakton, Cupp's student notes, a large collection of photographic prints, and a few photographic negatives. Many of the photographs and all of the negatives were taken personally by Cupp and illustrate her studies of plankton, her friends, and her homes. The collection also includes Cupp's prints of photographs taken by Eugene LaFond which depict the Scripps Institution of Oceanography and its staff. Many of these photographs were used in an album presented to Scripps Director Thomas Wayland Vaughan upon his retirement in 1936.
