Fred N. White Papers, 1949-2007, bulk 1949-1993  
Physical Description: 6 manuscript boxes and 3 archival shoe boxes  
Description: The accession consists of 2.5 cubic feet of personal papers of biologist  
Fred Newton White. The accession includes several thousand 35mm slides taken or  
collected by Fred White. A few document personal events, but most document his  
scientific work. The slides include images of Guadalupe Island, a substantial number  
of slides documenting Alpha Helix Antarctic Expedition of 1971, slides documenting  
White’s 1974 trip to Africa and his study of Sociable Weaver Birds, slides of the  
National Geographic Spanish Expedition of 1975 consisting largely of images of  
Carmine Bee Eaters, slides documenting a 1976 study of African Hornbills and slides  
documenting White’s 1984 trip to China. The accession includes 84 super 8mm films  
dating from the 1970’s, largely documenting field work, including one film labeled,  
Galapagos, several films documenting White’s work in Africa and several films  
documenting the Alpha Helix Antarctic Expedition of 1971. One film is labeled,  
“Helix Dedication Party.” Other films are labeled with names of marine animals and  
birds. There is footage of Capetown. The accession also includes student papers from  
the 1950’s, student drawings, notes for lectures and drafts of scientific papers, proposal  
files from the 1980’s, three small boxes of microscope slides and other material  
documenting of White’s education and work as a biologist. The accession includes  
copies of letters from colleagues and other material gathered for an album presented to  
Fred White in 1988 upon his retirement from Scripps. The original album remains with  
the family. The accession includes files on several expeditions, including the National  
Geographic Spanish Expedition of 1975.
