Collection Description

Historical Note

Eugene Odum (1913-2002) was an influential University of Georgia instructor from 1940 until his retirement in 1984. He is considered to be the "Father of Modern Ecology" and was the author of the pioneering book Fundamentals of Ecology. Odum was instrumental in the creation of the Institute of Ecology at the University of Georgia, the Savannah River Ecology Laboratory near Aiken, S.C., and the Sapelo Island Marine Science Institute. For more information, see the article Eugene Odum in the New Georgia Encyclopedia.

"H. H. Brimley (1861-1946), [was] a zoologist and curator (later director) of the North Carolina Museum of Natural History in Raleigh. During his years of service with the State Museum, Brimley assembled North Carolina displays at various national and international expositions. In preparation for his exhibits, Brimley did his own photographic work and traveled throughout North Carolina to capture scenes for display."--"Herbert Hutchinson Brimley Photograph Collection" from the North Carolina State Archives

Scope and Content

The collection consists of essays, reviews, commentaries, journal papers and books by Eugene Odum. Among the books included are: Crisis of Survival, H. H. Brimley, Ecology (2nd ed.), Basic Ecology, Birds of Georgia, and several translations of Fundamental Ecology and Ecology.
