University of Idaho Stillinger Herbarium Glass Lantern
Slides Collection
1938-1941
127 slides
Glass lantern slide collection documenting flora and
fauna conditions in the selected areas of the northwest region of the United States,
primarily Idaho, in the late 1930s and early 1940s.
This collection is in English.
The slides were transferred from the Stillinger Herbarium in the University of
Idaho’s College of Natural Resources to Special Collections and Archives in January
2012. Nothing is known of the provenance of the slides, but research indicates that
some slides were taken as part of a research project conducted in the Selway Game
Preserve by the University of Idaho School of Forestry in 1938.
In 1938, University of Idaho master’s student Willard Leslie Robinette conducted
research (funded in part by the U.S. Forest Service) in the Selway Game Preserve
(now part of the Selway-Bitterroot Wilderness Area in north-central Idaho) to learn
the habits of elk in the preserve, to identify plant species grazed by elk, and to
point out the need of minerals in the diet of elk.
Robinette’s findings were published in 1939 in his thesis, A Study of the Range
Habits of Elk on the Selway Game Preserve during the summer of 1938. Included in the
thesis are photographic prints taken during Robinette’s fieldwork. A good number of
matching images can be found among the Stillinger Herbarium glass lantern slides
collection.
The manuscript group is open to the public. Researchers must use the collection in
accordance with the policies of the University of Idaho Special Collections and
Archives.
