Charles William Nagel, commonly known as Chas Nagel, was employed in the
Agronomy Department at Washington State University until 1993. He received
degrees from the University of California and joined the faculty of Washington
State University as a microbiologist in about 1960. Beginning in 1964, his work
at WSU included studies of aspects of wine production, which he continued for
the next three decades.
The papers of Professor Charles W. Nagel consist of correspondence,
publications, working papers, and wine tasting records, along with test,
laboratory and research data on grape and wine production, all spanning a
period from about 1965 to 1990.
The arrangement is adapted from the filing system in place when the
papers were received by the libraries. This system was informal. The papers
were maintained as five alphabetical series of subject folders and 80 numbered
computer diskettes. These divisions were not named or labeled individually. The
first series consists of subject files concerning research on wine production,
especially at Prosser. The second series is centered on academic work at the
university and Nagel's publications on wine. The third series consists of
records of project proposals and the fourth of wine taste panels' data. The
fifth series concerns with test and experiment data on Cold Creek fertilizer
trial project and various wine analysis. The computer diskettes in series six
contain data on wine research, wine inventory and wine taste panels. For
further records of the research projects at Prosser, users may consult Archives
214, Irrigated Agriculture and Experiment Center (Prosser), Grapes / Wine
Research Records, 1940 -1984.
This collection is open and available for research use.
