This database contains historical records of the H.J. Andrews Experimental Forest (a U.S. Forest Service property near Blue River, OR, within the Willamette National Forest) consisting of three parts: 1.) inventory of the physical records and information about locating those physical records and three collections of digital records created from the physical records: 2.) records concerning the forest itself (HJATheForest), and 3.) records of the personal history of H.J. Andrews (HJATheMan).

The main geographic focus is the Andrews Forest and satellite research areas including Research Natural Areas, the forest vegetation plot network extending across the region, programmatically-related experimental watershed sites at Coyote Creek/South Umpqua Experimental Forest and Fox Creek / Bull Run Experimental Watersheds (East of Portland). Materials concerning the LTER network, NADP, and other research and monitoring programs have national applications, and the International LTER Network and UNESCO Biosphere Reserve Network have global outreach.

While NSF has held the Andrews Forest Long-Term Ecological Research (LTER) program and other LTER programs to high standards of management of digital research data quality and access, management of administrative program records on both the Forest Service and OSU sides has been lacking.

Field Methods - SS008
HJATheForest: Sam Schmieding identified storage areas in the Corvallis U.S. Forest Service Forestry Sciences Laboratory (FSL), Richardson Hall (OSU), and the HJA headquarters site for records of the Andrews Forest. He assembled, organized, and inventoried these records and placed them in acid-free boxes which contain documents explaining their content. The organization process included creating an outline of the organizational scheme (22 p) and full inventory documentation (ca 1500 p). The boxes (ca. 105) were placed in “The Vault” (Room 291), and Room 347 in the FSL. Some records in the inventory are retained in the files of the LTER administrative assistant (Richardson) for on-going program management and others at the HJA headquarters site for on-going site management.
HJATheMan: Sam Schmieding visited the Keiser, OR, home of Carolyn Haley, granddaughter of H.J. Andrews, who has kept a collection of his papers passed to her by H.J. Andrews’ daughter Virginia Andrews Burns (now deceased), and made digital copies of documents, including some photographs, which span much of his life.
The field locations represented in these records include the Andrews Forest itself, its many satellite research sites (hydrology-vegetation/most in Pacific Northwest), and partner research programs across the U.S. (e.g., LTER network) and the globe (e.g., in the International LTER network). Most records in the HJATheForest collection generated over many decades have been stored in the U.S. Forest Service Forestry Sciences Laboratory, the HJA campus, and in academic units scattered around the Oregon State University campus. Sampling frequency: continuous
The Andrews Forest History Project was undertaken in 2013 to locate, organize, inventory, and archive the program records for the purposes of supporting site and research administration, and also to support future history scholarship concerning program and site administration, education, science-management partnership activities, and other matters. The HJATheForest digital collection is also intended to support on-going site and program administration, including serving as a repository for the continuing accession of records from program administration, such as renewal and new proposals; their reviews, reports, and other documentation; monthly meeting notes; newsletters; and other materials. The HJATheMan and Oral History collections are intended to support future history scholarship.
HJATheForest: Some records are recurring (e.g., monthly meeting notes, monitoring records-reports, newsletters, LTER renewal proposals/review documents), but much of the material has had an irregular history of production.
HJATheMan: The records of the family were produced with irregular timing in their range from 1910 to the 1960s.
The full physical collection includes reports, memos, proposals, correspondence, raw data records, maps, photographs, field notebooks, and other materials produced in the course of management of research and site administration by both Forest Service and university personnel (OSU/other institutions) dating from establishment of the experimental forest in 1948 (then named the Blue River Experimental Forest) through the present. These are not the observational data resulting from the research experiments and monitoring of the environment, such as meteorological and gauging station data; those records are filed elsewhere in FSDB. The physical collection is archived in the U.S. Forest Service’s Forestry Sciences Laboratory, 3200 Jefferson Way, Corvallis, OR.

The H.J. Andrews Experimental Forest is a living laboratory that provides unparalleled opportunities for the study of forest and stream ecosystems in the central Cascade Range of Oregon. Since 1980, as a part of the National Science Foundation Long Term Ecological Research (NSF-LTER) program, the Andrews Experimental Forest has become a leader in the analysis of forest and stream ecosystem dynamics.
Long-term field experiments and measurement programs have focused on climate dynamics, streamflow, water quality, and vegetation succession. Currently researchers are working to develop concepts and tools needed to predict effects of natural disturbance, land use, and climate change on ecosystem structure, function, and species composition.
The Andrews Experimental Forest is administered cooperatively by the USDA Forest Service Pacific Northwest Research Station, Oregon State University and the Willamette National Forest. Funding for the research program comes from the National Science Foundation (NSF), US Forest Service Pacific Northwest Research Station, Oregon State University, and other sources.
Data were provided by the HJ Andrews Experimental Forest research program, funded by the National Science Foundation's Long-Term Ecological Research Program (DEB 2025755), US Forest Service Pacific Northwest Research Station, and Oregon State University. National Science Foundation: DEB1440409
The Andrews Forest is situated in the western Cascade Range of Oregon, and covers the entire 15,800-acre (6400-ha) drainage basin of Lookout Creek. Elevation ranges from 1350 to 5340 feet (410 to 1630 m). Broadly representative of the rugged mountainous landscape of the Pacific Northwest, the Andrews Forest contains excellent examples of the region's conifer forests and associated wildlife and stream ecosystems. These forests are among the tallest and most productive in the world, with tree heights of often greater than 250 ft (75 m). Streams are steep, cold and clean, providing habitat for numerous aquatic organisms.
