    The NCAR Archives acquired the Kellogg Papers through gifts in 1985 from William Kellogg and in 2008 from his widow, Elizabeth.

  • Appraisal Information

    Publications were examined for Kellogg's handwritten notes. Those containing his notes were retained, all others were discarded. Copies of photographs beyond 1 copy, copies of documents beyond 2 copies, and routine correspondence were discarded.

  • Accruals and Additions

    No further accruals are expected.

  • Custodial History

    The Kellogg Papers resided with Kellogg and his family until their donation to the Archives in 1985 and 2008.

  • Separated Materials

    Two expanding folders labeled "scrapbook materials" were returned to the family upon the completion of processing in February 2010. The contents were unorganized and loose. Material types included family correspondence, clippings, drawings, awards, and photographs.

  • Scope and Contents

    The Papers of William Welch Kellogg consists of documents dated from 1946 to 2005. Dr. Kellogg’s research and work for the National Center for Atmospheric Science (NCAR) comprises the bulk of the materials. He was involved with climate change research and early forecasting methods. The collection includes committee materials, correspondence and memoranda, journals, presentations and speeches, research files, writings, publications, figures, newspaper clippings, and photographs.

  • Processing Information

    Processing was completed in January 2010. Upon acquisition, materials had little order.

    Materials were re-housed in acid-free folders and boxes. Documents were interleaved with acid-free paper as needed and visual materials were housed in archival sleeves. Metal fasteners were removed and replaced with plastic clips when needed. Folded materials were un-folded and flattened when possible.

    Correspondence materials are arranged by the sender. When the sender sent two or more pieces of communication, those materials were placed in their own folder and titled by the sender's name. All other correspondence was arranged alphabetically in one folder and labeled "A-Z."

    Materials are arranged by type and folders are arranged alphabetically by title. Oversize materials are located in box 4, arranged by type and then alphabetically. Bound journals are located in box 5 and arranged by the number Kellogg assigned.
