The administrative subject and correspondence file contains comprehensive records from each of TIE's 4 basic divisions: Founders
(1970-1980), has extensive correspondence related to the emergence of the Founders consortium as a distinct entity, its eventual
attempts at restructuring, conference files, recruitment records, and a file sequence of member institutions; Board of Trustees
(1971-1984) correspondence/subject file includes documents relative to Trustees' elections, annual meetings, and general administration;
Assembly (1971-1983) records pertaine to recruitment, featuring file runs of both individual and institutional representative
members; Office of the Executive Director (1967-1985) encompassing the most comprehensive administrative subject file in the
collection, this subseries features the files of the last Executive Director of TIE, Ms. Josephine K. Doherty (these records
are essentially in original provenance). Also included herein are materials on the Fifth Year Review Report, the Nuclear
Winter Conference of 1985, financial records of TIE, and documents relating to the growth, development, and demise of TIE
form 1967 to 1984.
The research proposal and project files form the bulk of the record for TIE. During its fourteen years of research activity,
TIE embraced projects of many sizes, from the small Dynamic Corporation (1982) to the comprehensive work undertaken by the
Environmental Impact Assessment Program (1970-1977) or the Experimental Ecological Reserves Project (1972-1981). Many ecosystems
were examined, from the Clifty Creek Power Plant to global consequences of nuclear war. Numerous funding agencies, both public
and private, opened their resources to TIE, the research consortium best suited to addressing those often multi-disciplinary
questions relating to policy making in the ecological sphere. The distilled essence of the research work of TIE can be found
in the Publications File.
The financial working papers of TIE has been designated transitory, because final record copy of TIE fiscal transactions exist
either in the administrative subject files of the executive director or the individual project files in the research series.
This series is largely composes of budget support and printing invoices. Initial discussion with the TIE representatives yielded
a suggested retention time of two years from the corporate close of TIE activities; after that point, the records were to
be destroyed.
The Ancillary Records to the TIE Archive are comprised of correspondence, working papers, audio tapes, and addenda routed
through Archives offices for response after cessation of TIE corporate activities on June 30, 1984. Included in this file
are requests for jobs, solicitations, requests for publications, and correspondence between TIE representatives and Dr. John
C. Edwards, TIE Archivist. The working papers consist of original monographs of Carol Ebel and E. Gilbert Head, working papers
used in the processing and reorganization of the TIE papers, and in the preparation of the final inventory. Two sets of cassette
audio tapes make up this subseries; Ecology Handbook Conference Tapes-Morgantown/Tulsa 1976 (12 tapes), and TIE History Interview
Tapes 1984-1985 (14 tapes). Addenda will be appended to the TIE Archives as Ancillary Records.
For additional TIE information, you are referred to the R.H. Goodwin Papers, American Heritage Center, University of Wyoming.

Report, Trustees Handbook (1976), Financial Statements (1972-1977), fund raising correspondence (1976-1977), and foundation
grant requests (1976-1977). Dr. Goodwin was treasurer of TIE from 1975-1977.

William Gibbs McAdoo letter

Requires cookie* |
|
Creator: |
McAdoo, W. G. (William Gibbs), 1820-1894 |
|
|
Dates: |
1866 April 23 |
|
|
Contents: |
A love letter, faintly veiled, to an unmarried young woman, written at the time McAdoo was married to the daughter of General
John Floyd, a prominent Tennessee Indian fighter. His wife was a published author, and he and she apparently enjoyed together
cultural pursuits (see biography at Georgia Historical Society), pursuits which his letter indicates would have found acceptance
with Miss Prudden. The Prudden liason never broke the marriage, as he spent the remainder of his life with his then wife.
Written from the coast of Georgia, the letter is framed against a background of local history and scenery, but it is constructed
in a literary fashion. McAdoo reveals himself to be eloquent of word, not unphilosophical, and well read. On page 2, there
appears an original poem by McAdoo, a point of significance. The National Union Catalog shows all McAdoo's published writings
to have been non-literary. The manuscript sections of the American Book Prices Current for the period 1945-1977 show no appearance
of McAdoo manuscript material. The tone of the letter and his comprehension of poetry (e.g. quote from Campbell on page 1
of the typescript) create the impression that McAdoo was inclined to verbal eloquence and resorted to paper for its recording.
His literary output, however, has not come to light. This may be the sole surviving example of his poetry. Most of the local
historical and natural scenery comment reveals what is already known, some of it, however, nicely presented within the literary
framework already noted, is of interest from that perspectives and hence transcends being purely a rehash of already available
local historical information. There are several descriptions of War damage which may not be available elsewhere (e.g., comment
of Dungeness on page 3 of the typescript). On one occasion, the letter displays a boyish humor. Noting the passivity of basking
alligators to the approach of his steamer, he finds them "as languid and motionless as if they were, also, under the protection
of the Freedman's Bureau." On another occasion, it is clear that his sentiment for the Confederacy had not died in April of
1865; passing Fort Jackson, he notes: "As we came down the Savannah River, we passed the dismantled old Fort Jackson. A piece
of artillery lying here and there tumbled out of its embrasure, covered with rust, and the general neglect and decay, seemed
sadly typical of the fortunes of that power which had it manned and bristling with guns when I last visited the spot two and
a half years ago." Should there ever be a full fledged biographical treatment of McAdoo, this letter presents some evidence
of the romantic side of the man's make-up together with a lead for the biographer to develop. There is no question that McAdoo
hoped to build upon whatever the extent of his relationship with Miss Prudden had been. Additionally and specifically, this
letter gives his thought on war. Additionally and generally, the letter displays evidence of a man quite at home in worlds
less structured than that of the jurist. The typescript of the original accompanies it.
