Archives Committee
This committee was established in 1966 to provide a centralized repository and archivist for historical material of value to the Society. The committee consists of ASM members who serve as an Archivist, Historian, and Assistant Historian.
The Archives Committee will work with the Smithsonian Institution Archives to assure that appropriate documents of the American Society of Mammalogists are added to existing Archives of the Society. The Archives of the Society are professionally managed by the Smithsonian Institution. The ASM Archivist will work with researchers to be certain that they have appropriate access to the Society's Archives.
Archived Documents
The documents that the Archivist is charged to include have been designated by the Board of Directors. These include the following:
-
Publications, including special reports and documentation
-
Financial reports
-
Trustee's reports
-
Officers’ correspondence
-
Board members' correspondence
-
Committee correspondence and reports
-
Editors’ correspondence (except correspondence soliciting reviews and old manuscripts)
-
Résumés of all officers, editors, board members, honorary members, and awardees
-
Photographs of Presidents, honorary members, awardees, and ASM activities.
Historians
The Historians will work with the ASM Archivist to assure that the documents delineated above are obtained and added to the Society’s Archives. The Historians will be responsible for keeping a photographic record of the activities of the ASM and also will work with members to obtain their photographs. Résumés and photographs will be solicited from Presidents, Honorary Members, and awardees for the archives.
It is the policy of the ASM Board that obituaries to be printed in the Journal of Mammalogy will be solicited upon the death of Honorary Members, Past Presidents, recipients of the Merriam, Jackson, Leopold, and Grinnell awards, and such other mammalogists as may be deemed to have been eminent in the field. The Historian will work with the Editor-in-Chief of the Journal and Publications Director to assess whether a recently deceased member meets the established criteria for the publication of a formal obituary, or alternatively, to identify members who might be recognized with an In Memoriam profile in the online version of the Journal. If warranted, these individuals will decide who might best take the lead in preparing the obituary.
The Historian(s) will, from time to time, publish articles elucidating the history of mammalogy and of the American Society of Mammalogists in the Journal of Mammalogy. These articles will be handled by the Editor-in-Chief to assure high quality and prompt publication.
The Historians will work together on special projects relating to the Society’s history and archives.
