African Journal, 1954

The travel journals are typed narrative accounts of Kellogg's professional travels for conferences and as an advisor to agricultural development programs in the United States, Europe, the Soviet Union, Africa, Australia, New Zealand, Canada, Israel, and India. The journals are in two forms: as loose paper drafts in file folders, some of which include photographs; and as bound volumes. In addition to Kellogg's written observations, the bound journals and their appendices contain photographs, maps, conference programs and reports, relevant professional literature, guidebooks, and ephemera. Photographs depict conference attendees and local officials; soil surveys; soil striation, erosion and conservation; machinery; and the living conditions of rural people. In cases where multiple copies of a bound travel journal exist, not all versions contain supplementary materials. Each subseries is arranged chronologically.
