Curriculum Vitae, January to July, 1971

The curriculum vitae is an autobiographical account of Kellogg's daily life. It is drawn from personal records, diaries, correspondence files, field notebooks, and the memories of Kellogg and his wife Lucille. It includes relevant memoranda and correspondence. Although the curriculum vitae does describe details of his personal life, it primarily recounts events related to Kellogg's career as a soil scientist, including his observations and assessments of colleagues and office politics.

There are two copies of the curriculum vitae: one consists of four bound volumes, while the other is loose papers in file folders. Both are typed and contain handwritten edits and typed insertions. However, the loose papers cover the years 1902 to 1972, while the bound volumes span 1902 to July 1971. This series is arranged chronologically.
