The papers of Orville Vogel in this 1st Accession consist mainly
of correspondence concerned with projects conducted at Pullman. Some materials
concern administative details as well as scientific information. The papers are
arranged in a single sequence of alphabetically ordered folders. This
arrangement is a combination of two original sequences that had been disrupted
over time and during relocation of the papers.

Papers in the second accession consist of correspondence--both general and a series concerned with the Vogel Thresher, reports, subject files on a variety of wheat research topics, and photographs.
The two accessions of Vogel papers have been retained as distinct
entities, although similar materials are found in each. The arrangement of this
second installment is somewhat more structured than the alphabetical system of
the first installment, reflecting the rough arrangement found in the papers
upon transfer.
The second installment of papers of Orville A. Vogel were donated to the Washington State University Libraries by Mr. Vogel in 1989 (accession MS89-19).
The 2nd Accession was processed during Summer 1991 by Ling Jinqi.
