Papers of Scripps Institution of Oceanography marine geologist Francis P. Shepard.

Francis Parker Shepard was born in Brookline, Massachusetts on May 10, 1897. Shepard discovered his interest in geology and the ocean at a young age, hiking in the mountains and sailing in his family's yacht around the east coast. Shepard attended Harvard University and received a B. A. in Geology in 1920. Shepard's studies at Harvard were interrupted by his service in the U.S. Navy between 1918 and 1919. After graduating, Shepard married Elizabeth Buchner (1895-1984) and moved to Chicago, where he received a PhD. in Geology in 1922 from the University of Chicago. Shepard taught geology at the University of Illinois between 1922 and 1945. During World War II, between 1942 and 1945, Shepard worked for the Navy, applying his knowledge of marine geology to assist with submarine operations with the University of California Division of War Research. In 1945 Shepard became a Professor of Submarine Geology at the Scripps Institution of Oceanography, a position he held until his retirement in 1966. Following his retirement, Shepard served as a Professor Emeritus at SIO, continuing his research. Francis Parker Shepard passed away on April 25, 1985.

In 1980, Shepard drafted the text of his personal autobiography, the manuscript of which is contained in Box 11 in this collection and is also available online through a link in the finding aid. Two additional short biographies are available online:

Francis P. Shepard Biography. Deborah Day (Scripps Institution of Oceanography archivist, retired), 1997.

Francis Parker Shepard, 1897-1985. Joseph R. Curray, in Coming of Age: Scripps Institution of Oceanography: A Centennial Volume, 1903-2003. Ed. Robert L. Fisher, Edward D. Goldberg, and Charles S. Cox. San Diego: Scripps Institution of Oceanography, University of California, 2003. pp. 157-167.

The Francis P. Shepard Papers provide substantial documentation of marine geologist Shepard's career and professional life. Biographical material includes an autobiography that Shepard and his wife Elizabeth wrote together in 1980 documenting Shepard's family, education and career, and scrapbook clippings. The voluminous correspondence series consists of ten cartons of incoming and outgoing correspondence, mostly exchanged with colleagues in his scientific circles, and project associates. The subject and research files documents Shepard's field trips and expeditions with the Scripps Institution of Oceanography, data, notebooks, topics of inquiry, committees, professional associations and organizations, and also his work on American Petroleum Institute Project 51 (API 51) during the period 1951-1958. The collection includes material on Jacques Cousteau's diving saucer Soucoupe and other deep diving vehicles Shepard used to study marine canyons; material on tsunamis (especially the April 1946 tsunami he witnessed on the island of Hawaii); and files on ocean currents, the sea floor, beach erosion, sand analysis, cores, and more. Shepard's data includes daily observation notes from the SIO Pier and detailed observations from early Scripps expeditions in the 1940s.

Arranged in nine series: 1) CORRESPONDENCE, 2) AMERICAN PETROLEUM INSTITUTE PROJECT (API PROJECT 51), 3) BIOGRAPHICAL AND TEACHING MATERIALS, 4) WRITINGS, 5) SUBJECT FILES, 6) RESEARCH AND DATA, 7) PHOTOGRAPHS AND SLIDES, 8) AUDIOVISUAL RECORDINGS, and 9) OVERSIZE.

CORRESPONDENCE

Scope and Content of Series

Series 1) CORRESPONDENCE: This series is a voluminous record of Shepard's professional correspondence, dating from the 1920s through the late 1970s. Materials are arranged alphabetically by folder title, which is typically the surname of the correspondent, but may occasionally be a subject (assigned by Shepard) or an institution. Folders include carbon copies of Shepard's outgoing correspondence, as well as incoming letters. Shepard was inconsistent over the years in filing correspondence by the name of the letter-writer, or the writer's affiliated institution or employer. Thus, it is beneficial to search under a subject's name as well as their place of work, such as a laboratory name or university. The second series in this collection, the AMERICAN PETROLEUM INSTITUTE PROJECT, also includes a subseries of correspondence that was originally flagged as API by Shepard. However, there is much cross-pollination between this series and the API series, and similar people and subjects can be found in both places. Correspondence from Shepard's service duty during World War II is missing from the collection. According to Shepard's colleague Eugene LaFond, such material was kept in central files at the Navy Electronics Laboratory, and may have been transferred to a Federal repository after the war.

AMERICAN PETROLEUM INSTITUTE (API) PROJECT 51

Scope and Content of Series

Series 2) AMERICAN PETROLEUM INSTITUTE PROJECT (API PROJECT 51): This series documents Shepard's work with the American Petroleum Institute between 1950 and 1960, which was focused on studying sedimentation in the Gulf of Mexico. While Shepard had explicitly labeled and sorted these materials as API, complimentary content appears in the other series in the collection, especially CORRESPONDENCE, RESEARCH AND DATA, and PHOTOGRAPHS. Images of coastal areas and research being conducted for this project in the early 1950s along the Gulf Coast are particularly well-represented in the PHOTOGRAPHS series.

The materials are divided into two subseries, following Shepard's original arrangement: A) API Correspondence, and B) API Subject Files. Correspondence is arranged alphabetically by correspondent within annual ranges; the Subject Files are arranged alphabetically by folder title.

RESEARCH AND DATA

Scope and Content of Series

Series 6) RESEARCH AND DATA: Research and data files are arranged alphabetically by folder title. All of Shepard's field notebooks are arranged in a chronological subset under "F." The series covers Shepard's research areas in submarine geology, canyon currents, underwater canyons (especially Scripps and La Jolla Canyons), sand and sediment analysis, tides, and waves. Folders include data, observations, and measurements collected locally and on expeditions, including early Scripps research aboard the E. W. Scripps. Some of the research and data files include photographs, and these are noted in the descriptions. Some complimentary oversize materials may exist in the OVERSIZE series at the end of the collection.

PHOTOGRAPHS & SLIDES

Scope and Content of Series

Series 7) PHOTOGRAPHS AND SLIDES: A large series of images including prints, slides, transparencies, and glass. If format is not noted in the description, it is likely a black and white print. There are very few portraits of Shepard, as the collection is mostly documentation and support of his research activity. API Project 51 is well-represented, although the primary interest in these images now is likely to be their representation of the Gulf Coast beaches and coastlines in the early 1950s. Coastal surveys of California are also included. Note Shepard arranged his photographs of the Hawaiian tsunami of 1946 with his notes and subject files on the topic, and those reside in the SUBJECT FILES series.

Arranged in three subseries: A) Coastal Aerial Surveys, B) Miscellaneous Images, and 3) Glass Lantern Slides.
