Biographical NoteReturn to Top
Gerald W. Williams worked for the U.S. Forest Service from 1979 until his retirement in 2005. From 1979 to 1993, he was a sociologist with the Umpqua and Willamette National Forests in Oregon; in 1993-1998, he served as the regional sociologist for the Pacific Northwest Regional Office in Portland; and from 1998 until his retirement in 2005 he was the national historian for the U.S. Forest Service in Washington, D.C. Williams designed and implemented a regional and national history program for the Forest Service which culminated in his appointment as national historian and his authorship of the centennial history of the Forest Service, The USDA Forest Service -- The First Century, in 2000. He has published extensively on a variety of historical topics such as the Native American use of fire to manage environments, the Civilian Conservation Corps, and the U.S. Army's Spruce Production Division during World War I.
Williams is a native of Oregon and earned degrees from Southern Oregon University (B.A., Sociology; M.A. General Studies Social Science) and Washington State University (Ph.D., Sociology). Gerald W. ("Jerry") Williams died on January 3, 2019.
Content DescriptionReturn to Top
The Gerald W. Williams Papers document Williams’ research and writing on the U.S. Forest Service, forestry and public lands, and the environment and culture of the Pacific Northwest and include his research notes, manuscripts, final publications, and extensive assembled reference materials. Much of Williams’ work was focused on the Willamette and Umpqua National Forests and the McKenzie River area.
The collection consists of materials documenting Williams himself (Series 1-4); Williams’ publications and associated manuscripts and research materials (Series 5-17), which comprises roughly half of the collection; and extensive reference materials (Series 18-26), which comprise the remaining half. Williams assembled an abundance of primary source material from the 19th and early 20th century in the course of his research and writing. These primary source materials document the establishment and functioning of the U.S. Forest Service, public lands, forestry in the Pacific Northwest, environmental issues, and conservation concerns. The Gerald W. Williams Electronic Records are an essential companion collection for researchers using these materials.
Biographical materials, including curriculum vitae and lists of publications; military records; and certificates document Williams’ education, employment history, and accomplishments.
The publication series include the final version of each publication; subsequent revisions and editions; manuscripts, drafts, and reviews; reference and research materials used to create the publication; and, in some cases, photographs that were reproduced in the publication. Williams published several major works on the history of the U.S. Forest Service including USDA Forest Service - The First Century published by the United States Department of Agriculture in 2000, which was re-issued in 2005 in a centennial commemorative edition; The Forest Service: Fighting for Public Lands published in 2007 by Greenwood Publishing; and The U.S. Forest Service in the Pacific Northwest: A History published by Oregon State University Press in 2009. These books document the establishment and development of the U.S .Forest Service, the political and cultural influences that shaped the organization, and the impact of forest practices and policy in Oregon and Washington. In the course of his research on the U.S Forest Service, Williams assembled extensive materials on Gifford Pinchot, the first Chief of the U.S. Forest Service, which are included in this collection.
Williams also created and curated compilations of primary source materials and references. Many of these were self-published by Williams or reproduced, under his direction, by the U.S. Forest Service and consequently had limited distribution. These include: John B. Waldo and William G. Steel: Forest Reserve Advocates for the Cascade Range of Oregon (1992), Selected References Concerning the USDA Forest Service (published in multiple editions in the 1980s and 1990s), and Establishing and Defending the Cascade Range Forest Reserve: As Found in the Letters of William G. Steel, John B. Waldo, and Others Supplemented by Newspapers, Magazines, and Official Reports 1885-1912 (1995) with Stephen R. Mark.
Williams also conducted extensive research and writing on the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) in the Pacific Northwest, Native Americans’ use of fire in land management, and the McKenzie River basin. Publications on these topics, and his research materials, are included in this collection. Williams’ writing for the general public is represented by articles he wrote for Lane County Living.
The oral histories provide first-hand accounts of those who worked in forestry. Gerald Williams conducted many interviews with people in the McKenzie River area and with many individuals associated with the U.S. Forest Service. He also assembled oral histories of early Oregon pioneers that had been completed in the 1930s by the Works Progress Administration as well as other oral histories conducted by the Forest History Society and the University of Montana. Of particular note are oral histories with women in forestry, including Geri Vander Veer Bergen, one of the few women to begin a career in forestry in the 1960s, and Wendy Milner Herrett, the first woman to be district ranger in the Forest Service. The oral histories include transcripts and audiotape recordings.
Series 17 consists of papers and manuscripts written by Williams that may not have been published or were incorporated into larger publications. This series shows the breadth of Williams’ research and interests and includes some reference materials assembled by Williams as well. Some of these materials may have been adapted for oral presentation.
The remainder of the collection, which forms about half of the total volume, consists of reference and research materials that are not associated with a specific publication and were arranged by the archivists into the topical areas of Pacific Northwest forest history; United States forest history; forest fires; Oregon history; Oregon counties; and biographical materials. Undoubtedly, these materials informed and were used in Williams’ publications. An extensive compilation of editorial cartoons pertaining to forestry and environmentalism that document public perceptions and political responses to natural resource management are described as Series 19.
The Gerald Williams Papers include audiocassette sound recordings; photographs (photographic prints, film negatives, slides, and contact sheets); and a small quantity of born-digital materials. Electronic records are available upon request and in the Special Collections and Archives Research Center Reading Room.

Acquisition Information
The original Gerald W. Williams Collection was acquired by the Oregon State University Libraries in 2007. Numerous accessions to the collection were received in 2008 thru 2016.
Processing Note
An extensive multi-year project to process the Gerald W. Williams Collection was conducted by the Special Collection and Archives Research Center in 2015-2019. Many discrete collections of materials assembled or created by Williams were physically segregated and described as separate collections. The remaining materials comprise this collection and have been re-named the Gerald W. Williams Papers, as they predominantly document Williams' research and writing.
In the course of physical processing, four duplicate audiocassettes of the Richard J. Costley oral history interviews conducted in 1996 have been removed from the collection and discarded. A 5.25-inch floppy disk with materials pertaining to Williams' McKenzie River publication has been removed from the collection and discarded.

Series 5: Publications - Native Americans, 1854-2008Return to Top
Series 5 contains material about Native Americans and the land they inhabit and includes papers written by Williams. An Inquiry into Petroglyph Point Lava Beds National Monument Near Tulelake, California is an unpublished paper by Williams. Petroglyph Point was traditionally occupied by the Modoc Native Americans. This paper was adapted from a paper Williams wrote for a college anthropology class. American Indian Use of Fire in Ecosystems: Thousands of Years of Managing Landscapes is a paper written by Williams that was never published; however, he did present modified versions of it in 1997-1998. There are two articles in Fire Management Today by Gerald Williams about Native American land management tactics using fire. Cathlapotle - Catching Time’s Secrets by Jon Bachnke is a publication about the large trading city of the Cathlapotle people at the time of the Lewis and Clark expedition (early 1800s). Over 900 people lived in the city that was located near current Ridgefield, Washington. Chief of Seattle Speech – The Real Story is a compilation of two of Chief Seathl “speeches.” The first may not have been a speech by Chief Seathl, but is a widely quoted story about white settlers moving natives off their land. The second is an actual speech given in about 1854, which has been rewritten and popularized in the decades since. Reference materials in this series include materials pertaining to the North Sacramento Valley (California), the southern and western Cascade Range, the Willamette Valley, and the Klamath Basin. Topics addressed include bark containers, rock art, anthropology, use of fires, archaeology, and native-settler conflict.
Born-digital versions of materials in this series are available in the Gerald W. Williams Electronic Records (MSS WilliamsGElectronic).

Series 10: Publications - Oral Histories, 1937-2002Return to Top
Series 10 consists of oral histories assembled and conducted by Williams in the course of his research and writing. The series includes information about oral histories and handbooks for conducting them, published and unpublished oral history transcripts, audiocassette recordings of oral history interviews, and associated oral history project records. The series includes only audiotape recordings or transcripts (not both) for many interviews. The majority of the material in this series pertains to forests in Oregon and Washington, including but not limited to: Winema National Forest, Willamette National Forest, Umpqua National Forest, and Mt. Baker Snoqualmie National Forest. Regions outside of Oregon are also covered including the Siskiyou National Forest in northern California, Bitterroot National Forest in Montana, and Clearwater National Forest in Idaho. Of note are transcripts of interviews with Geri Vander Veer Bergen, one of the few women in forestry when she started her career in the 1960s. Additionally, there are transcripts of an interview with Wendy Milner Herrett the first woman to be district ranger in the forest service. The series includes oral histories conducted by the Forest History Society focused on forestry in the west and by the History Section of the USDA Forest Service on timber management in the Pacific Northwest. Also included are interviews of early Oregon Pioneers done during the 1930s as part of the Work Progress Administration.
Series 10 includes 3 sub-series: 1. Putting Conservation to Work, 1989; 2. McKenzie Audiotapes, 1979-1981; and 3. Other Audiotapes, 1980-2012.
A central figure in Sub-Series 1 (Putting Conservation to Work) is Robert Wolf, a professional forester and a forest policy analyst in Washington, D.C. whose career spanned 45 years with the USDA Forest Service, Bureau of Land Management, Bureau of the Budget, U.S. Senate, and Congressional Research Service. Wolf was interviewed in 1989 by multiple individuals as part of an extensive oral history project conducted at the University of Montana. This sub-series consists solely of transcripts of these interviews.
The McKenzie Audiotapes (Sub-Series 2) consists of audiotapes of interviews conducted by Gerald Williams, unless otherwise noted. These interviews were conducted with people who lived or worked in the McKenzie River area, east of Eugene, Oregon. Of note, many of these oral histories are of women who, for example, acted as librarians or local historians in the McKenzie River area. These audiotapes were digitized in 2013; the digital files are available upon request for use in the Special Collections and Archives Research Center Reading Room.
Sub-Series 3 (Other Audiotapes) is made up of oral histories conducted in various locations, including McCall, Idaho and Cispus, Washington. Some individuals had notably longer interviews such as Albert Wiesendanger and Richard Costley and are represented by multiple audiotapes.
This series Includes 52 audiocassettes recordings of oral history interviews.
Born-digital versions of materials in this series are available in the Gerald W. Williams Electronic Records (MSS WilliamsGElectronic).

Series 12: Publications - Gifford Pinchot, 1859-2010Return to Top
Series 12 consists of extensive reference and research materials on Gifford Pinchot assembled by Williams. He did not complete a major publication about Pinchot. Most of the materials in the series are photocopies of Gifford Pinchot’s correspondence, from the Library of Congress’ Gifford Pinchot Papers (indicated as “LoC” in the folder titles below). Most of the correspondence is from 1911-1912, soon after Pinchot was fired as the first Chief of the United States Forest Service, and from 1938-1940 after his retirement as the 28th Governor of Pennsylvania. The series also includes correspondence to Williams from a Library of Congress archivist with their recommendations for how best to use Pinchot’s material. Material not from the Library of Congress includes news articles about Pinchot, particularly about Pinchot’s dismissal by Taft for speaking about Richard Ballinger, the Secretary of the Interior. There is a folder of editorial cartoons much of which focus on the “Ballinger controversy.” There are transcripts of a radio address by Pinchot, information about the Conservation Commission Pinchot was involved with, and information about Pinchot’s family home, Grey Towers, in Milford, Pennsylvania, which is now a now USDA Forest Service historic site. There is a notebook of photos and ephemera with many images of Pinchot and his historic Grey Towers home, as well as brochures and pamphlets about his life and home. Of note is a manuscript compiled by Williams from Library of Congress correspondence titled: Letters from Region 6 (Pacific North West) Forest Service Employees to Gifford Pinchot. Compilation represents correspondence of forest service employees in Oregon and Washington from 1898 to 1940.

Series 13: Publications - Establishing and Defending the Cascade Range Forest Reserve from 1885-1912, 1889-2007Return to Top
Series 13 includes Establishing and Defending the Cascade Range Forest Reserve: As Found in the Letters of William G. Steel, John B. Waldo, and Others Supplemented by Newspapers, Magazines, and Official Reports 1885-1912, compiled by Williams and Stephen R. Mark of Crater Lake National Park and issued in 1995 by the U.S. Forest Service and the U.S. Department of Interior’s Crater Lake National Park. This compilation consists of typescripts of historical documents assembled from multiple repositories and sources and includes a brief introduction and index; a limited number of copies were produced. The focus of this book is the earliest history of the six national forests on the crest of the Oregon Cascade Range. Its documentation shows the proponents and opponents of national forests, and their efforts to create and keep public forests in Oregon. Congress and President Benjamin Harrison enacted the Forest Reserve Act in March 1891. Forest reserves in Oregon were established in 1892-1893. For more information about the establishment of the Cascade Forest Reserve, see the Oregon Encyclopedia article written by Williams. The material found in this series used to create this book includes interviews and biographies of pioneers, politicians, environmentalists, and foresters as well as correspondence, reports, journal articles, and newspaper articles on forestry, history and forestry communities.
Born-digital versions of materials in this series are available in the Gerald W. Williams Electronic Records (MSS WilliamsGElectronic).

Series 19: Editorial Cartoons, 1910-2015Return to Top
Series 19 consists of editorial cartoons on forestry and environmentalism dating from 1910 to 2015 that were assembled by Williams to document public perceptions and political responses to natural resource management such as allowing controlled burns while campaigning to prevent forest fires with Smokey the Bear. Notable topics include Gifford Pinchot, the Forest Service use of controlled burns, destruction of forests, and industry interest in gaining control of resources. Williams created a presentation in the early 1990s using editorial cartoons from across the 20th century; overhead slides used in this presentation are included in this series. The majority of the cartoons are printed to size on 8x10 printer paper. Portions of these cartoons were printed directly from Cagle Blog, an internet site featuring political cartoons. Copyright for cartoons published prior to 1923 are in the public domain, while cartoons published after 1923 likely would require permission to use. There are articles about editorial cartoons, including “100+ years of Political Cartoons’ View on National Resources Management 1897-2000” by Gerald Williams.
Born-digital versions of materials in this series are available in the Gerald W. Williams Electronic Records (MSS WilliamsGElectronic).

Topics covered include fur companies in the Pacific Northwest and the Hudson Bay Co., mining, forest ranger districts, environmental concerns, logging, Mount Hood, and recreation. Willamette National Forest is represented through district histories, maps, plans, publications, news releases and articles. Region 6 (Oregon and Washington) history includes the thirty-year club, the forest service wives club, and early history. This series includes materials documenting several prominent issues during the 1990s-2000s such as illegal harvesting of Pacific yew in the forests and lawsuits pertaining to the use of power boats on Waldo Lake.

Series 26: General Reference Materials, 1889-2016Return to Top
Series 26 consists of general reference materials that Williams accumulated through his studies. The material spans across the 20th century and reflects the breadth of Williams’ interests and reach into the larger forestry community. While many of the materials pertain to the Pacific Northwest, the series includes materials on other regions of the United States, of national scope, and pertaining to international forestry. Topics include government and military interactions with the Forest Service, greater outdoor projects within or adjacent to Forest Service projects, wildlife concerns, and many reports and research related to Williams’ interests. This series includes a variety of material types including correspondence, reprinted articles, brochures, pamphlets, ephemera and a plethora of newspaper clippings. A portion of the newspaper clippings are copies of early 20th century newspaper articles.
Of special interest are materials documenting the records of the Forest Service held by the National Archives; forms used to document historical records, sites, and structure; documents pertaining to Forest Service retirees and a 1967 article by Harold T. Pinkett published in the American Archivist.
