The Rosenstiel Papers document the
entomology research conducted by Robert G. Rosenstiel and include project
notebooks, plot data, correspondence, reports and publications, and related
documentation.
Materials in English.
Biographical Note:
Robert George Rosenstiel was born in Portland, Oregon on 8 April 1910.
After receiving a two year degree from Southern Oregon College of Education at
Ashland in 1933, he taught grade and high school at Merrill, Oregon for two
years. He received a BS degree in Education in 1937 from Oregon State College.
He continued his studies there, receiving a BS degree in General Science and a
MS degree in Entomology in 1939. He briefly attended the University of
California at Berkeley and Iowa State College at Ames before he returned to
California. He received his Ph.D. in 1950 from the University of California,
Berkeley.
Rosenstiel served as assistant in entomology at OSC from 1939 to 1941.
From 1943 to 1946 Rosenstiel held the position of Oregon State Entomologist for
the U.S. Public Health Service, headquartered in Corvallis. During 1943 and
1944, he organized the Public Health Services' program MCWA (malaria control in
war areas) at Camp Adair and Camp White, Oregon. From 1945 until 1946, he was
stationed in Berkeley, California where he conducted mosquito inspections and
research. He returned to OSC in 1946 as Assistant Professor in the Entomology
Department, and served as Associate Professor from 1952 until his retirement in
1975. Upon his retirement, he was honored with the title of Associate Professor
Emeritus, a title he held until his death on 17 July 1995. His first wife, Ruth
died in 1976; his second wife, Mildred and his three sons survived him. His
publications included scientific papers and Experiment Station circulars and
bulletins, all relating to the control of insect pests on small fruits and
berries. In all he was published 26 times during his academic career.
The collection contains nine series: Biographical Information;
Correspondence; Anopheline Studies, the study of mosquitoes and malaria during
war times; Cnephasia longana (Omnivorous Leaf-tier) Research; Small Fruit and
Berry Insects Research; Nursery Insects Research; Information on Tullgren
Funnel, a type of equipment used to extract certain animals from soil for
analysis; Notebooks, (field and nursery); and Prints, Negatives and Slides. Dr.
Rosenstiel's research interests were nursery-greenhouse insect pests, small
fruit insect pests, including all types of berries, but particularly
strawberries. His Cnephasia longana research is quite extensive.
Organized into nine series: I. Biographical Information; II.
Correspondence; III. Anopheline Studies; IV. Chephasia longana (Omnivorous Leaf
Tier) Research; V. Small Fruit and Berry Insects Research; VI. Nursery Insects
Research; VII. Tullgren Funnel Information, Research Apparatus; VIII.
Notebooks, Field and Laboratory Notes; and IX. Prints, Negatives, and
Slides.
