The Edgar R. Levin Collection, circa 1934-1965 (bulk 1939-1959), chronicles the adult life of Edgar Levin, a teacher, lecturer and later supervisor in Santa Clara County who worked as Father Bernard R. Hubbard’s assistant on his journeys to Alaska. The bulk of the collection illustrates Levin’s teaching methods, lecture topics, and experiences with Father Hubbard. Notes detailing scientific research in Alaska are bountiful, providing information on the state previously unknown during its time before statehood. While the collection does not contain materials pertaining to his life before his time as Hubbard’s assistant, it does allow researchers to view Father Hubbard’s adventures through the lens of someone close to him. The records consist of notes and other forms of writing by Levin, along with correspondence received by Levin. Other materials include school worksheets, newspaper clippings, diaries, and his work on a territory orientation for Alaskan areas. This collection is arranged into one series: Series I. Personal Papers of Edgar R. Levin, circa 1934-1965 (bulk 1939-1959).
