1987] 1994

Manuscript Group No. 30
(Revised February, 1996)
Archie Fairly Carr, Jr., University of Florida Graduate Research Professor of Zoology, was associated with the University for more than fifty years. As a zoologist, he was most noted for his pioneering work in studying sea turtles and especially for discovering their migration patterns. Earlier in his career he specialized in the regional natural history of reptiles and of turtles in general. As a conservationist and writer, he sparked worldwide interest in saving turtles from threatened extinction. His entire career was spent at the University of Florida, first as a student, B.A. (1932), M.S. (1934), and as the University's first Ph.D. (1937) in biology. He continued as a faculty member until his death.
One
of the University's Life Sciences buildings, Carr Hall, and the Archie F. Carr
Center for Sea Turtle Research are named in his honor.
Other distinctions earned by Dr. Carr include the Daniel Giraud Elliott
Medal from the National Academy of Science (1952) for his Handbook
of Turtles, the John Burroughs Medal for nature writing in 1955, a
University Distinguished Alumnus award in 1972 and the University's Presidential
Medallion in 1986. In 1987 Carr
received the Gold Medallion of the New York Zoological Society and in 1984, the
first Hal Borland Award from the National Audubon Society.
The Florida Museum of Natural History periodically awards the Archie F.
Carr Medal to individuals who have distinguished themselves in biological
conservation.
Dr.
Carr's most noted work, the Windward Road (1956) is
credited with creating world wide attention on the plight of the sea turtle.
His other works include High Jungles and Low
(1953, republished 1992), Ulendo,
Travels of a Naturalist in and out of Africa (1964, republished 1992),So
Excellent a Fishe, a Natural History of Sea Turtles (1967),
and three Time-Life books, Everglades (1973),
Land and Wildlife of Africa (1964), and Reptiles (1963).
Dr. Carr was also the author of a Guide
to the Reptiles, Amphibians, and Fresh-water Fishes of Florida (1955) and a Handbook of Turtles (1952).
A Naturalist in Florida was
published posthumously in 1994 by the Yale University Press.

1989; Audubon, March, 1982, and July,
1984; New York Times, May 23, 1987, Biological
Conservation (August, 1987), and letter to Kenneth Cooper, May 18, 1959.
A folder of bio-bibliographical information on Dr. Carr may be found in
the University Archives Vertical File.)
Scope and content
Arranged in four series, Dr. Carr's Papers consist of various drafts and
other material relating to his principal published works and numerous
unpublished notebooks, individual and official correspondence, records of grants
and of organizations with which he worked, and files on miscellaneous subjects
with which he was involved or collected material.
These include several manuscripts by other authors.
Photographs are found throughout the Papers along with the documents
which they originally accompanied. There is no separate photograph file.
The entire span of his career is covered.
Correspondence is found from his graduate student years until shortly
before his death.
Research records from years of turtle tagging at
Tortuguero, Costa Rica, and elsewhere are not contained in the Papers.
They are available through the Archie Carr Center for Sea Turtle
Research.
Arrangement
The four series of Papers are (1) Carr's manuscripts, published and
unpublished, (2) Correspondence, (3) Organizational and Sponsored Research
Records, and (4) Miscellaneous Papers. They remain in the general grouping and
arrangement used by Dr. Carr. Some
rearrangement has been done of individual items.
Provenance
With the exception of the manuscripts noted below, all of the papers were
donated by Carr's widow, Marjorie Harris Carr, and were transferred to the
Library after his death. Weeded
papers include duplicate material, course records and evaluative material,
financial records of grants, secondary materials which were not highly relevant
to the collection, including his reprint file, and some non-substantive
correspondence from the public.
An
additional gift of Papers was made in 1995, resulting in this revised finding
guide. The additions include the
manuscript of A Naturalist in Florida,
many manuscript fragments relating to Carr's African books
and numerous shorter manuscripts relating to Florida and to sea turtles,
manuscripts of Life Line columns, and several subject files in the Miscellaneous
series.
A significant addition to the collection was made in 1999. These materials are described in a supplementary finding guide.
An addendum to the
Papers (Box 49) was made in 1996. It
includes copies of letters from Archie and Marjorie Carr to Thomas L. Barbour
(3 folders, 1939-1945) and a file of correspondence and manuscript received
from Carr by Larry Ogren [7/5/96].
Related Manuscripts:
Along with Professor Carr's papers, the Carr gift included papers of
turtle scientist and conservationist Tom Harrisson, D.S.O., O.B.E.
(1911-1976). These may be found
in Manuscript Group 85.
CARR PAPERS INVENTORY
SERIES
1: MANUSCRIPTS, 1935-1994 (14
boxes, 6 feet)
The Papers contain significant manuscript material from Carr's eight
popular trade works and from numerous lesser works.
Most of the chapters from his earliest trade book, High
Jungles and Low (1953), are represented, although there is no manuscript of
the complete work. Ulendo (1964), and
the three Time-Life books, Reptiles (1963),
Land and Wildlife of Africa
(1964) and Everglades (1973) are
the most extensively documented. In
addition to drafts, there are numerous revisions, notes for the works, and
correspondence concerning them. Windward
Road and So Excellent a Fishe, probably Carr's two most notable works, are
represented by complete manuscript versions, but not by additional
documentation. The manuscripts of
these two works and of Ulendo (denoted
by "*" in the inventory) were donated directly by Carr while he was
still alive, while the remainder of the Papers were donated by his estate.
Manuscripts from his earlier guides and handbooks may not be extant.

Jungles and Low (1953) and Windward
Road (1956), 1947-1981
The manuscript of this book as prepared for publication is not in the
Papers. Apparently the work was
originally written as a number of separate essays, most of which exist in one or
more manuscript form.

Naturalist in Florida, 1994
Carr
had planned to write a book on Florida and apparently had actually written and
submitted several chapters to Houghton Mifflin.
The project was never completed and the written chapters were published
separately as periodical articles. After
Carr's death, Marjorie collected these essays and published them along with
other of Carr's Florida writings as Naturalist
in Florida, in effect Carr's collected works on Florida.
The complete manuscripts and proof for the book are here.
Manuscripts of some of the essays in their original form may be found in
the Florida writings and Lifelines box (#11) and in the manuscripts of books
such as Ulendo.

10: Honduran Manuscripts, 1945-1950
Carr
spent the years 1945-1949, on leave from UF, as an instructor at the Escuela
Agricola Panamerica in Tegucigalpa, Honduras.
High Jungles and
Low was the principal literary result of these years.
Carr also observed Honduran amphibians and reptiles, making numerous
notes and collecting data. Correspondence
indicates that he and Benjamin Shreve planned a joint publication, but abandoned
the project. The papers here
represent Carr's Honduran notes, data gathered from different institutions on
their Honduran specimens, a published monograph on Honduran animal habitats, and
some miscellaneous writings.
