Organizational Sketch

The Massachusetts Audubon Society was founded in 1896 when Boston residents Harriett Lawrence Hemenway and Minna B. Hall formed a group to discourage "ladies of fashion" from wearing the brightly-colored feathers of non-game birds in their hats, a market that had caused the birds to be hunted almost to extinction. Recruiting leading ornithologist William Brewster as their first president, the group became the first state Audubon society in North America. Headquartered in Boston, it was instrumental in the passage of an 1897 Massachusetts law outlawing trade in wild-bird feathers and the 1900 Lacey Act, prohibiting interstate shipment of animals killed in violation of local laws. The group also helped to organize the National Association of Audubon Societies (incorporated in 1905), which later became the National Audubon Society.

Mass Audubon opened their first sanctuary, Moose Hill in Sharon, in 1916, initiating its mission in land stewardship as well as bird and wildlife protection. In the 1930s and 1940s, Mass Audubon began to emphasize education, establishing natural history programs for schools and day camps, training teachers, and offering programs for children and adults. The organization began its program of professional research in 1956, with a scientific staff and laboratory facilities that by the 1970s and 1980s specialized not only in endangered species, but in environmental issues such as pesticides, water pollution, wetlands protection, and energy conservation.

Today Mass Audubon is the largest conservation organization in New England. It maintains over 50 field offices and wildlife sanctuaries that serve as a base for nature and environmental education courses, programs, scientific research, and conservation-related activities. It protects over 34,000 acres of open space from the Berkshires to Cape Cod and the Islands, publishes a nature magazine and newsletter for more than 100,000 members, and actively advocates for conservation laws and planning at the local, state, and federal levels.

Collection Description

The records of the Massachusetts Audubon Society comprise 100 cartons, 11 document boxes, and 3 oversize boxes dating from 1874 to 2011. They are divided into seven series: Administrative records; Sanctuary records; Histories and historical material; Ornithological records; Records of related organizations; Printed material; and Photographs and audio-visual material.

Administrative records include the records of the Mass Audubon board of directors and their related committees; annual and monthly reports; financial records; executive office records, largely the correspondence and subject files of C. Russell Mason and Allen H. Morgan; and records of the departments of education, membership and development, sanctuary operations and management, and conservation science.

Sanctuary records contain documents generated by or related to individual sanctuaries, including administrative records, subject files, ornithological records, historical property records, printed material, and photographs. The quantity of records for each sanctuary varies considerably, ranging from one or two folders to multiple cartons, and in most cases is neither comprehensive nor complete. The most heavily represented sanctuaries in the series are Arcadia Wildlife Sanctuary, Broadmoor Wildlife Sanctuary, Drumlin Farm, Habitat Wildlife Sanctuary and Education Center, Ipswich River Wildlife Sanctuary, Laughing Brook Wildlife Sanctuary, Moose Hill Wildlife Sanctuary, Pleasant Valley Wildlife Sanctuary, and Wellfleet Wildlife Sanctuary. In many cases, sanctuary records contain information about the history of the property before it was owned by Mass Audubon, most notably the records related to the Thornton Burgess house and property at Laughing Brook Wildlife Sanctuary in Hampden. Very few records are dated later than 2000 except for newsletters and other printed material.

The collection contains histories of Mass Audubon including a series of unpublished histories by former director Allen Morgan, John Galluzzo's 2005 Mass Audubon, and scrapbooks of historical material. Ornithological records include reports of Mass Audubon birding activity, including checklists, summaries, and field notes, as well as the personal birding records of Francis H. Allen, Norman Winslow Hall, John B. May, Allen H. Morgan, and others. Records of the Oliver L. Austin Ornithological Research Station contain over thirty years of tern research on Cape Cod.

Records of related organizations within this collection include a small amount of research and correspondence of the Nuttall Ornithological Club; the records of the Nantucket Ornithological Society; and the administrative and financial records of Morse-Allen, Inc., a film production company that was donated to Mass Audubon along with the Visual Arts Center property.

Printed material comprises one of the largest series in the collection, including Mass Audubon bird calendars from 1898 to 2004 (with gaps) and the periodicals Bulletin of the Massachusetts Audubon Society, Massachusetts Audubon, Sanctuary, Connections, and The Curious Naturalist. Also in this series are books, pamphlets, and reports related to ornithology, nature studies, and environmental issues that were published by Mass Audubon, as well as brochures, field guides, program catalogs, and other printed material. The collection also includes a small amount of photographs, audio cassette tapes, and film prints.

These records describe the expenditures of individual departments and sanctuaries from 1954-1959. They include rough drafts and loose ledger sheets, and many compare quarterly or fiscal year expenditures and income.
				E. Executive Office records, 1883-1980 (bulk: 1943-1965) The bulk of this subseries consists of the correspondence and subject files of the secretary-treasurer (later known as the executive secretary, executive vice-president, and president). They include the records of Winthrop Packard who served from 1913 to 1936; Carl W. Buchheister, 1936 to 1939; C. Russell Mason, 1939 to 1957; and Allen H. Morgan, 1957 to 1980. In the early years, the board of directors held most of the executive power, but under Mason and Morgan this office managed more of the day-to-day functions of the organization. The arrangement of the general correspondence and subject files has been kept in the order used by the executive office. Other records in this subseries include Russell Mason's lecture journals, Allen Morgan's administrative files, Morgan's research material for an unpublished history of Mass Audubon, and the subject files of the public relations department, which at one time was part of the executive office.
					i. General correspondence, 1929-1965 Arranged alphabetically by correspondent's name within each year. Records include members' correspondence; committee correspondence; requests for information; reports of bird sightings, and letters related to lectures, publications, activities, public relations, and the management of physical buildings. Much of the correspondence under Mason and Morgan related to birding, as both were active birders. The subseries also contains related printed material such as newsletters, advertisements, newspaper clippings, and brochures, as well as several articles and essays submitted for publication in the Bulletin. It is clear that correspondence has been randomly saved or preserved, as there are many gaps within this subseries. Correspondence is heavy, for example, in 1933, then very light from 1934-1948. 1948 contains only letters of correspondents whose name begins with B. There is no correspondence from 1949, from 1953 to 1956, or from 1961. After 1962, correspondence includes the original letters sent to Morgan and copies of letters Morgan sent in reply. Before 1962, additional correspondence was filed in the department's subject files.

					ii. Subject files, 1883-1980 (bulk: 1950-1965) Arranged alphabetically by name or subject. Files consist of correspondence, clippings, printed materials, and reports on a large variety of topics collected by the executive office under Mason and Morgan. Topics include conferences, individual sanctuaries, legislative actions, types of birds, committees, and related organizations. Some files consist strictly of correspondence, including that of many board members, sanctuary directors, and other prominent people within the organization. Correspondence with Board President Robert Walcott from 1936-1954 provides insight into the history of Mass Audubon. Beginning in 1962, all correspondence is filed together in General Correspondence. A full list of folder titles can be found in Appendix I at end of the collection guide.

					iv. Allen H. Morgan papers, 1936-1980 Arranged chronologically and by record type.
Carton 25	SH 17QX Q	Folders 42-59				History of Massachusetts Audubon Society material, 1936-1980 These files contain background material for Morgan's history of Mass Audubon, including documents sent to him in 1980 by Carl Buchheister related to his tenure as secretary/treasurer of Mass Audubon in 1936-1939. Other material, dating from 1952 to 1979, includes photocopies of articles written by Morgan, memos to staff and board of directors, copies of correspondence, meeting minutes, financial statements, and other administrative records. Much of the material is related to open spaces, pesticide use, sanctuaries, education, and membership. Morgan's files also include research notes and a preliminary outline of his history. Written in the style of a personal memoir, the book was never published. For drafts of Morgan's book, see the Allen H. Morgan papers, 1923-1990 (Ms. N-2224).
Carton 25	SH 17QX Q	Folders 60-62				Administrative files, 1962-1975 These files, the bulk of which date from 1962, include memos to staff and the board of directors, as well as position papers largely related to pesticide use. Filed separately by Morgan from his History of Mass Audubon papers, it is unclear if they were collected as background material for the book, or were part of a larger administrative file.
					v. Public relations subject files, 1938-1959 Arranged alphabetically. These files are the records of Mary Lela Grimes, Director of Public Relations, who worked for Russell Mason in the Executive Office. They contain correspondence, memos, and notes related to advertising in newspapers, publications, radio, and television. Public relations committee records include activity reports and statistics that illustrate Mass Audubon's public relations efforts in the 1950s. Bird Walk files relate to the coordination and advertising of the walks. For further information about Bird Walks, see Ornithological Records- Birdwalk Checklists. For later public relations records (1958-1964), see Executive office subject files under Public relations/publicity.

				I. Sanctuary Department records, 1956-2008 The Departments of Sanctuary Operations and of Sanctuary Planning oversee Mass Audubon field offices, nature centers, staffed and unstaffed wildlife sanctuaries, and protected open space. Records include the department's working files or "chronos," wildlife inventories and permits, Bird Seed Day records, policies and procedures files, and other miscellaneous records. See also Sanctuary records for records related to individual sanctuaries, as well as Annual and monthly reports for summaries of sanctuary activities.
					i. Working "Chronos" files, 1956-2004 Arranged chronologically. Records primarily consist of correspondence with attachments that include policy guidelines, reports, advisory committee conference records, policy guidelines, and inter-departmental and staff memos. Early records were generated by Executive Vice-President Allen Morgan from 1957 to 1980, followed by David Blanchard (Sanctuary Operations) and Bill Giezentanner (Sanctuary Planning) beginning in the late 1970s. After about 1990, under department head Gary Clayton, the working files or "chronos" included reports, site analyses, recommendations to the sanctuary committee, correspondence with sanctuary staff and directors, policy statements, planning documents, meeting minutes and agendas, time logs, budgets and financial documents, and quarterly reports. Records after 1981 remain closed for 30 years from the date of their creation to respect donor privacy.

				J. Scientific Staff/Conservation Science Department records, 1948-1999 First organized by Dr. William Drury in 1956, the Scientific Staff later became the Science Department, the Environmental Science Department, and then the Conservation Science Department. Its records include numerous reports and project records, a series of subject files, and a small amount of miscellaneous administrative records.
					i. Projects and reports, 1948-1999 Arranged alphabetically by title. Records in this subseries include the Ecosystem Conservation Priority paper, a Mass Audubon policy paper by John Fitch which served as review of environmental policies and resources in Massachusetts in the 1980s. Records related to the Endangered Species Act, which Mass Audubon helped to reauthorize and amend, include reports, correspondence, memos, copies of the bill and amendments, copies of congressional testimony, mailings, and a National Audubon Society speakers kit. The Short-eared Owl Ecology Study researched ecological requirements, population levels, breeding process, and food habits at Monomoy National Wildlife Refuge. Directed by John H. Fitch, its records include research notes, pellet data, and a final report. The Tern Conservation Program began in 1960 when William H. Drury, director of research, observed that terns were being replaced in New England by gulls. Early studies were conducted in cooperation with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, but by 1966 Mass Audubon developed their own conservation program with Dr. Ian Nisbet conducting field research on the declining tern population. Later studies were conducted at one of two remaining tern colonies at Monomoy Wilderness colony. Records include reports, field research data, correspondence, memos, tern warden reports, project proposals, newspaper clippings, newsletters, and maps.

				L. Habitat Education Center and Wildlife Sanctuary records, 1946-2009 Habitat is a 90-acre preserve in Belmont, created from the former lands of Habitat, Inc. and Highland Farm Sanctuary. In 1970, Ruth Hornblower Churchill died, leaving a trust (the Greenough Foundation) to preserve her 1913 neo-Georgian home and surrounding property for educational purposes. The trust founded Habitat, Inc. in 1970, headed by educator Bert A. Roens and Churchill's son, Elisha Atkins. In Sept.1971 the Habitat Inc. School of Environment opened, providing a one-year post high school enrichment experience. Habitat became a membership organization, the Habitat Institute, in 1976. The organization merged with Mass Audubon in July 1994, the culmination of a five-year planning process. Highland Farm, part of an old dairy farm in Belmont, was donated to Mass Audubon by Mr. and Mrs. William Claflin with the support of neighbors and others in the 1960s. The property merged with the former Habitat, Inc. property in 1994, becoming Habitat Education Center and Wildlife Sanctuary.

In March 1951, Mass Audubon purchased 2000 acres of the Proctor Estate with $50,000 bequeathed to them by Annie H. Brown of Stoneham. (Mass Audubon first used this bequest to purchase the Plum Island sanctuary, but it was returned to the society when Plum Island was transferred to the federal government as the Parker River National Wildlife Refuge.) Originally called the Proctor Wildlife Sanctuary and Annie H. Brown Reservation, it later become the Ipswich River Wildlife Sanctuary and Annie H. Brown Reservation. Documents in this series include administrative records, subject files, and printed material.

				P. Laughing Brook Wildlife Sanctuary records, 1874-2001 Located in Hampden, Laughing Brook is the former home and studio of Thornton W. Burgess (1874-1965), an author of children's animal and nature stories including Peter Cottontail and Mother West Wind. After his death, Mass Audubon purchased 84 acres of his land for Laughing Brook Education Center and Wildlife Sanctuary, named for Burgess's home on the property. Opened in 1968, the sanctuary included the Storyteller's House (built by Calvin Stebbins in 1782 and now on National Register of Historic Places) furnished as Burgess had left it and interpreted for visitors. The sanctuary also included a Nature Center, and originally housed live native New England animals. In 1977 Mr. and Mrs. Russell B. Neff donated 175 acres to Laughing Brook as the Emily Jones Neff Bird Sanctuary. The Environmental Education Resource Center opened in 1980, built with capital campaign funds. In 1992 Mass Audubon received an 81-acre property in Hampden from the Gerrish family known as "Old Acres Farms" which was managed in conjunction with Laughing Brook. Documents in this series include administrative records, Thornton Burgess's house and property records; records related to site renovations; subject files, printed material; photographs; and scrapbooks.

Mass Audubon director George W. Field donated his 225-acre estate for use as the Sharon Bird Sanctuary in 1916, and Mass Audubon hired noted ornithologist Harry G. Higbee in 1918 as a resident warden. This land was used as a sanctuary until 1922, when Mass Audubon purchased the adjoining property of Frederick H. Briggs and moved the sanctuary and headquarters to this site. Over the years, additional gifts and purchases included the farm of Leonard Lorenzo Billings, donated to Mass Audubon by his step-daughter Laura S. Fiske in his memory; a large parcel funded in part by a grant from the Environmental Preservation Support Trust; land donated by the Kendall family; land purchased from Moose Hill Realty Trust; and land from the farm of Dr. Walter Griffyn and the Griffyn Trust. Mass Audubon forged a partnership with the town of Sharon, which purchased a conservation restriction for the property through town meeting funds and a grant from the Mass. Division of Conservation Services. Records in this series include administrative records, subject files, ornithological records; printed material, and photographs.

				W. Pleasant Valley Wildlife Sanctuary records, 1928-2008 Pleasant Valley is situated on over 1300 acres in Lenox. The sanctuary originated in 1929 when Mary Parsons, Bishop Thomas Davies, and other members of the Lenox Garden Club purchased the Powell family farmstead to create Pleasant Valley Sanctuary, Inc. Early directors Maurice Broun, Morris Pell, George Wallace, and later Alvah W. Sanborn led the sanctuary's activities, including the construction of exhibits and nature trails, a beaver pond, development of nature classes for public schools in western Mass., and a summer nature camp. Lacking financial support, in June 1950 the board decided to turn over the sanctuary and its assets to Mass Audubon. Shortly thereafter, the sanctuary added the Trailside Museum to the property. Canoe Meadows, located in Pittsfield, Mass. along the Housatonic River, was acquired by Mass Audubon in 1976. It joined with Pleasant Valley in 1980 to create the Berkshire Sanctuaries, sharing the same director and administrative facilities. Their joint administrative records and correspondence are included in this series, as are separate Canoe Meadows records created before 1980. Also in this series are subject files, ornithological records, printed material, and photographs.

This series contains board of directors' records including meeting minutes, reports to the board from the warden (later, director) of the sanctuary, committee reports, by-laws, and educational activity reports. After 1950, when the sanctuary ownership shifted to Mass Audubon, the board became the Sanctuary Advisory Committee. Financial records include accounts, receipts, and reports of routine sanctuary expenses, as well as a journal of gifts and admission fees kept from 1961 to 1973. Correspondence largely consists of letters between the board or advisory committee and the sanctuary director, patrons, vendors, and benefactors. Annual and monthly reports appear sporadically, and those dating before 1950 are included in the board of directors meeting minutes. Barn Restaurant records consist of a guest book, account book, checking account records, and tax records related to a restaurant run at the sanctuary in the early 1960s. Other administrative records in this series include deeds; press releases; and planning documents such as sanctuary master plans, feasibility studies, and capital campaign plans.

				A. Mass Audubon records, 1932-1984 Arranged chronologically by record type. Bird checklists include annual lists for the years 1932, 1949-1950, and 1954, containing the number, location, and time of bird spottings submitted by members from across the state. Additional checklists were completed on Audubon Day in early May. Checklist summaries are compilations of members' birding checklists written annually in narrative form. The Mass. Breeding Bird Atlas was a cooperative project of Mass. Div. of Fish and Game and Mass Audubon that lists the species, habitat, and nesting dates of Massachusetts birds. Records include a few newsletters, lists of species, and checklists. Monthly field notes for eastern and western Massachusetts are official Audubon records listing observations, weather, spottings, and events. Public service information notices include bulletins for rare bird alerts, bird programs, and bird observer announcements. The bird specimen accession register (1952-1957) documents the popular and scientific name of each bird specimen held by Mass Audubon, as well as its locality, collector, date collected, source, accession date, and remarks. It includes previously acquired birds dating from 1877-1905 collected by Dr. Harris Kennedy through the Children's Museum, as well as later specimens. Also here are surveys on the Cardinal Tufted Titmouse and Nighthawk migration, and the 1973 "Birder's Kit, " a compilation of public service announcements, lists of bird club meetings, instructions for building birdhouses, census information and other information of interest to Massachusetts birders.
