Biographical note

Barton Warren Evermann, educator, scientist, and long-time director of the California Academy of Sciences, was born on October 24, 1853 in Monroe County, Iowa. Evermann's family moved to Indiana while he was still a child and it was there that he grew up, completed his education, and married. While teaching in Carroll County, Indiana he met fellow teacher Meadie Hawkins. They were married on October 24, 1875. They had a son, Toxaway Bronte, born in 1879, and a daughter, Edith, born in 1894.

In his professional life, Evermann had three overlapping careers: educator, ichthyologist, and director of the California Academy. From 1871 to 1879 he was a teacher and administrator in the public schools of Howard and Carroll counties, Indiana. He then moved to Ventura County, California, where he taught from 1879 to 1881. Returning to Indiana, Evermann served as superintendent of the Carroll County schools from 1883-1885 while taking a break from his undergraduate studies at Indiana University. After obtaining his B.S. in zoology in 1886, Evermann took a job as professor and head of the department of biology of the Indiana State Normal School, where he remained until 1891. Even after moving on to his scientific career, Evermann maintained an interest in education, giving special courses of lectures at Cornell and Yale between 1900 and 1906, and serving as Vice President of the District of Columbia Board of Education between 1906 and 1910. And as director of the California Academy of Sciences he placed great emphasis on the role of museums in public education.

Evermann began his scientific career under the tutelage of biologist David Starr Jordan, whom he first met in 1877 while Jordan was a professor at Butler University. Meadie Evermann was then a student in one of Jordan's classes and in 1878 the Evermanns joined Jordan and a group of other students on an extended hiking and study trip from Kentucky to Georgia. Evermann did not begin his formal education under Jordan until his return to Indiana in 1881. As Jordan was now president of Indiana University, Evermann enrolled as a student there, earning his B.S. in 1886, A.M. in 1888, and finally his Ph. D. in 1891. Many of Evermann's earliest publications are in ornithology, but under Jordan's influence Evermann soon took up ichthyology as his specialty. They later went on to co-author numerous publications together.

While a professor at the Indiana State Normal School, Evermann took a series of temporary positions with the United States Fish Commission, participating in expeditions to different parts of the country each summer from 1886 to 1890. In 1891, Evermann took a permanent position with the Fish Commission (which was renamed the Bureau of Fisheries in 1903), where he would remain until 1914. He was given a series of positions of increasing responsibility, serving as head of the Division of Scientific Inquiry from 1903 to 1910 and chief of the Alaska Division from 1911 to 1914. He was also appointed U.S. Fur Seal Commissioner for 1892 and was chairman of the Fur Seal Board from 1908 to 1914. And from 1905-1914 he was also Curator of Fishes at the U.S. National Museum.

In 1914, Evermann left the Bureau of Fisheries to become director of the California Academy of Sciences, a position he held until his death in 1932. As director, Evermann played important roles in restructuring the museum's exhibits around habitat groups, establishing the Steinhart Aquarium, and in acquiring several important specimen collections, including the Indiana University fish collection, which was transferred in 1929. Evermann was also active in the field of conservation. In 1914 and 1915 the Academy carried out a substantial project to relocate Tule Elk, which were in danger of extinction, to various locations around the state of California, and throughout the 1910s and 1920s Evermann was an energetic advocate for the conservation of marine mammals. In addition to these activities, Evermann continued to publish on scientific topics, ultimately authoring or co-authoring 387 publications in total. Evermann kept up his work until he was overcome by illness in the summer of 1932. He died in Berkeley, California on September 27, 1932 at the age of 78.

Arrangement note

The Barton Warren Evermann papers are organized into the following series: Series 1: Personal and Biographical Materials; Series 2: Education; Series 3: Professional and Civic Organizations; Series 4: Professional Work; Series 5: Publications and Bibliography; Series 6: Photographic Materials.

The Evermann papers were originally stored in 144 numbered boxes for which a preliminary box list inventory existed, along with several additional boxes of material. It was not possible to determine whether the records had been kept in their original order. During processing, the records were arranged into series based largely on the existing groupings of material, with photographs being separated into their own series. Because of these changes, the boxes have been renumbered from the original box list.

Lake Maxinkuckee circa 1899-1921 

Scope and content

Between 1899 and 1914, Evermann and a team of assistants conducted research for an extended case study of Lake Maxinkuckee, Indiana on behalf of the U.S. Fish Commission and Bureau of Fisheries. Fieldwork and observations were made in most of the years between 1899 and 1914. At the completion of the work, Evermann was unable to secure publication of the study with the U.S. Bureau of Fisheries. It was eventually published in 1920 by the Indiana Department of Conservation as Barton Warren Evermann and Howard Walton Clark, "Lake Maxinkuckee: A Physical and Biological Survey." This subseries consists of materials related to both the research for and the publication of the book on Lake Maxinkuckee.

Materials include field notes and notebooks, collected data, manuscripts, and correspondence.

Tule Elk 1914-1972 and undated  (Bulk, 1914-1933)

Scope and content

By the late nineteenth century, growing concern that the California tule elk were in danger of extinction if they were kept only in their original habitats led to efforts to relocate part of the herd. In 1914 and 1915, the Academy relocated tule elk from the property of the Miller and Lux company in the San Joaquin Valley to various locations around the state. This process entailed contacting people at potential locations, rounding up the elk, and then shipping them by rail from Buttonwillow, California to their new destinations.

Materials include correspondence, notes, reports, permits, manuscripts, and newspaper clippings.

Arrangement note

The bulk of this material was found arranged into files, primarily according to location. Materials were not in alphabetical order. This arrangement has been preserved. Remaining materials were placed into new files during processing.

Alaska Fur Seals 1892-1930s 

Scope and content

This subseries consists primarily of materials relating to Evermann's work on fur seal matters while he was an employee of the U.S. Fish Commission and the Bureau of Fisheries. The bulk of the material relates either to his work in 1892, when he was appointed Fur Seal Commissioner for that year, or to his involvement in the political controversy over fur seals that began in 1911 after the United States, United Kingdom, Russia, and Japan signed a treaty that outlawed the hunting of fur seals on water.

The controversy centered on a bill in Congress to temporarily outlaw the hunting of fur seals on land controlled by the United States, in addition to ratifying the terms of the treaty. Evermann and other scientists supported the treaty but opposed the additional ban on hunting fur seals on land. Both the treaty and the additional ban were passed into law.

Materials include correspondence, reports, government documents and publications, material on the history of fur seals, notes, and manuscripts. The bulk of the material concerns Alaska and the Pribilof Islands.
