The collection originated in the desire of Dr. David J. Schmidly to
place copies of the documents generated by the United States Bureau of
Biological Survey's investigations in Texas in an archive more accessible to
those with an interest in Texas natural history. The original records are
housed at the Smithsonian Institution Archives in Washington D. C. In addition
to acquiring copies of the original material, the project also accomplished
preparation of computerized data bases of the reports and photographs.
Eventually the project resulted in the publication in 2002 of Schmidly's Texas
Natural History: A Century of Change. The work includes an annotated reprint of
the 1905 report Biological Survey of Texas. Dr. David J. Schmidly is a Texas
Tech University graduate and was the University's thirteenth President. He is
currently serving as President and CEO of Oklahoma State University. Dr.
Schmidly is a biologist and has published a number of works on Texas
mammals.
