Manuscripts and Archives, Yale University Library. The George Bird Grinnell Papers consist of letterpress copybooks, correspondence, subject files, and other papers documenting the life and work of George Bird Grinnell, particularly his pioneering efforts in the American conservation movement. The papers highlight Grinnell's interest in wildlife preservation and the American West and its Indians and his role as a prolific author of books and articles on these subjects. While the papers date from 1859, they contain relatively little material from Grinnell's family, childhood, student days, years teaching at Yale, and first years with Forest and Stream. The bulk of the material represents Grinnell's career from his mid-thirties until the end of his life. 1849 births 1938 deaths American anthropologists American conservationists American naturalists American magazine editors Yale University alumni Burials at Woodlawn Cemetery (Bronx, New York)
