Scope and content
These notes document Dr. Scott's research from the time she was a graduate student in the 1930s to the 1970s when she continued the research on hibernation started under Dr. Fisher's direction in the 1960s. Files contain mostly qualitative analysis of data, discussion of research methodology, some references and ideas for future research. There are also bibliographic references both in note book and card index form. Some rough data in files and in notebooks has been selectively retained in this series to show observation methods.
General files have been placed at the beginning of this series and are followed by specific files on research topics including mainly the research on ground squirrels (Spermophilus richardsonii) and eastern chipmunks (Tamias striatus). These general files are followed by laboratory notebooks and bibliographic references including two boxes of card indexes.
