Introduction to the Collection

Eugene Odum (1913-2002) was an influential University of Georgia instructor from 1940 until his retirement in 1984.  He is considered to be the "Father of Modern Ecology" and was the author of the pioneering book  Fundamentals of Ecology. Odum was instrumental in the creation of the Institute of Ecology at the University of Georgia, the Savannah River Ecology Laboratory near Aiken, S.C., and the Sapelo Island Marine Science Institute.

Scope and Contents 

The papers in these two boxes relate to Dr. Odum's administration of the Institute of Ecology and ecological operations at the Savannah River Atomic Plant during the years 1950 through 1980. They were previously in boxes 36 and 38 in UGA 97-048, the Odum reprint collection, but were moved to their own distinct accession in 2001.
