Research scientist, writer, and founder of the Zoology Department at Smith College. The Wilder papers reflect a single, overarching theme: Wilder is a man of science. Though both personal and professional papers are included in this collection, very few documents fall outside of this portrait. Materials include biographical material, photographs, writings, memorabilia, scrapbooks, research materials, slides, and diaries. Also included are an autobiography of his youth and correspondence, including 22 items from mentor and Amherst College professor John Tyler.
