George Bucknow Papers. Guide Dors (2004) 1 GEORGE BUCKNAM DORR, 1853-1944 THE GEORGE BUCKNAM DORR PAPERS: GUIDE Ronald Harry Epp, Ph.D. c. 2004 Descriptive Summary: Repository: Bar Harbor Historical Society Museum Bar Harbor, ME 04609 Manuscripts Other Locations & formats: William Otis Sawtelle Collections & Research Center Acadia National Park Headquarters, Bar Harbor, ME 04609 Microfilm Jesup Memorial Library Bar Harbor, ME 04609 Microfilm Call Number: Ms. 001 Creator: Dorr, George Bucknam, 1853-1944 Title: George Bucknam Dorr Papers Dates: 1853-1944 Physical Description: 3 Boxes, 35 Folders, 1.5 linear feet. Abstract: Transcriptions, published writings, correspondence, essays, fragments, compilations, and memoirs of New England conservationist George Bucknam Dorr (GBD), founder and first Superintendent of Acadia National Park (ME). Administrative Information: Acquisition Information: Gift of the Estate of George B. Dorr. Date Received: 1949. Processing & Arrangement: Processing by Sawtelle Research Center Curator Brooke Childrey and Elizabeth Banks of the National Park Service, Acadia National Park, April 16, 1996. It appears that due, in part, to the uncertain history of the collection prior to its acquisition by the Bar Harbor Historical 2 Society that the papers were not kept in an orderly fashion. Much of the arrangement is artificial and non-conforming with archival standards. Scope and Content: Typescript drafts of the Acadia National Park history (The Story of Acadia National Park) by George Bucknam Dorr occupy a small portion of this collection. Other publications by Dorr are included and several are from the twenty-two Sieur de Monts Publications which he edited and sometimes authored from 1916-1919. The bulk of the collection consists of memoirs, research notes, and planning documents written by Dorr and covering the timeframe from before the Civil War until the eve of WWII. Dictating recollections principally in the last decades of his life--when he was beset with glaucoma-- Dorr traces his Boston and Cambridge school days, extensive travels with his parents, and his involvements in Harvard College and University, especially the psychical research associated with philosopher William James. Correspondence from Harvard University President Charles W. Eliot is focused on efforts to conserve the scenic beauty of Mount Desert Island (ME). Dorr's memoirs also provide rich insights into the Gilded Age culture of Bar Harbor. Dorr played a significant role in the Bar Harbor Village Improvement Association, the Jesup Memorial Library, and establishment of the Jackson Laboratory and the Mount Desert Island Biological Laboratory. Much attention is devoted to the importance of Old Farm, the Bar Harbor estate that was the nursery for the establishment of the park. Essays on the the 17th century French and English colonization of the region and its subsequent settlement reveal Dorr's intense interest in the human forces that contributed to the establishment of the Sieur de Monts National Monument in 1916 and its expansion into Lafayette National Park in 1919 (the park was renamed Acadia National Park in 1929). Scientific essays on island geology, ornithology, and marine life form a backdrop for an extensive indexing of hundreds of native and non-native plants that Mr. Dorr's nursery developed. A small number of photographs are included. The Dorr Papers refer to John D. Rockefeller Jr. but there is only slight attention to park administrative matters. Researchers interested in Acadia National Park development and administration should also consult the relevant manuscript collections in the William Otis Sawtelle Collections and Research Center at Acadia National Park Headquarters, the National Archives in College Park (MD), and the Rockefeller Archive Center (Sleepy Hollow, New York). 3 Access: Permission of the facility Curator.
