Description: |
The predecessor of the Bureau of Biological Survey (BBS) was established under the Department of Agriculture in 1885 to study the economic relation of birds to agriculture. Subsequently, the mission of the division evolved over the years to include the study of mammals, as well as to include predatory and rodent control activities. In 1905, the division ecame known as the Bureau of Biological Survey. In 1940, the Bureau of Fishers merged with BBS to form the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service under the department of Interior. The BBS field reports and maps collection includes maps, reports, news clippings, and correspondence created by the BBS and its predecessors from 1900 to 1940, when the predator and rodent control activities of the BBS were transferred to the U.S. FIsh and Wildlife Service (FWS). Records from the FWS are also included and cover the years from 1940 to 1955. |
