Archives
A few years ago, several institutions in N.C. including the Forest History Society and the Biltmore Estate Archives, worked together to produce a portal to archival collections dealing with the beginnings of forestry in the South, especially at the Biltmore Forest School. The collections contain photographs, correspondence, transcripts of oral history interviews, and other items related to Carl Schenck and his forestry students.
