This collection contains the professional papers and records of Analytical Chemistry Research and Development (R&D), including work done with strychnine, diphacinone, and zinc phosphide. These records came from the Analytical Chemistry Unit beginning in 2009.

The Bird Damage Unit Records (NWRC 0010) document the activities of NWRC researchers from the early 1900s through the early 2000s as they worked to protect agricultural interests from bird depredations and disease, both domestically and abroad. The NWRC bird unit has worked with a diverse group of cooperators including airports, universities, farmers, feedlot operators, the U.S. military, and other associated researchers to effectively reduce bird damage to a variety of resources.
