Inventory of the Ashbel F. Hough Papers, circa 1920s – 1940s

Descriptive Summary

Abstract: Ashbel F. Hough spent his career as a research forester at the United States Forest Service's Northeastern Forest Experiment Station. The Warren, Pennsylvania Forestry Sciences Lab began as a research unit of the Allegheny Forest Experiment Station in 1932, with Ashbel Hough serving as Principal Silviculturist spending summers on the Kane Experimental Forest and winters in Philadelphia. Hough wrote on Allegheny hardwood forests.

The collection includes materials collected by Ashbel F. Hough during his tenure at the U.S. Forest Service's Northeastern Forest Experiment Station from the late 1920s to the mid-1960s. Materials include bibliographies, dictionaries, biographies, bulletins, circulars, research monographs, reports, and other miscellaneous items pertaining to the following topics: forest botany, forest ecology, forest economics, forest engineering, forest fire protection, forest law and legislation, forest management, forest policy, forest technology, forest utilization, forestry education, forestry research, lumbering, and silviculture. Many of the items are U.S. Forest Service publications. The materials are arranged according to subject.
