Box and Folder List:
Vincent J. Schaefer was born July 4, 1906, the oldest son of Peter Aloysius and Rose Agnes (Holtslag) Schaefer. Schaefer had two brothers, Paul and Carl, and two sisters, Gertrude and Margaret. The Schaefers lived in Schenectady, New York, and due to Mrs. Schaefer's health the family made summer trips to the Adirondack Mountains. Schaefer had a life-long association with the Adirondacks, as well as interests in hiking, natural history, and archeology. In his youth he was the founder of a local tribe of the Lone Scouts and with some of his tribe mates wrote and printed a tribe paper called "Archeological Research." Schaefer credited this publication with his introduction to many prominent individuals in the Schenectady area, including Dr. Willis R. Whitney of the General Electric Research Laboratory.
In 1922 Schaefer's parents asked him to leave high school and go to work to supplement the family income. On the advice of his maternal uncles, Schaefer joined a four-year apprentice machinist course at General Electric. During the second year of his apprenticeship, Schaefer was granted a one-month leave to accompany Dr. Arthur circa Parker, New York State Archeologist, on an expedition to central New York. As Schaefer was concluding the apprentice course in 1926 he was assigned to work at the machine shop at the General Electric Research Laboratory, where he worked for a year as a journeyman toolmaker.
Somewhat discouraged by the work of a toolmaker, Schaefer sought to satisfy a desire to work outdoors and to travel by joining, initially through a correspondence course, the Davey Institute of Tree Surgery in Kent, Ohio, in 1927. After a brief period working in Michigan, Schaefer asked to be transferred back to the Schenectady area and for a while worked as an independent landscape gardener. Upon the advice of Robert Palmer, Superintendent of the GE Research Laboratory, in 1929 Schaefer declined an opportunity to enter into a partnership for a plant nursery and instead rejoined the machine shop at the Research Laboratory, this time as a model maker.
During the late 1920s and early 1930s Schaefer built up his personal library on natural history, science, and his other areas of interest and read a great deal. He also organized groups with those who shared his many interests--the Mohawk Valley Hiking Club in 1929, the Van Epps-Hartley Chapter of the New York Archeological Association in 1931, and the Schenectady Wintersport Club (which established snow trains to ski slopes in the Adirondacks) in 1932. In 1933 Schaefer began work on creating the Long Path of New York (a hiking trail beginning near New York City and ending at Whiteface Mountain in the Adirondacks). During this period Schaefer also created adult education programs on natural history topics which gave him opportunities to speak in the community. Through these many activities Schaefer continued to expand his acquaintances, including John Apperson, an engineer at General Electric and a devout conservationist of the Adirondacks. Apperson introduced Schaefer to Irving Langmuir, a scientist at the GE Research Laboratory who was awarded a Nobel Prize in 1932 for his work in surface chemistry. Among other things, Langmuir shared Schaefer's love of skiing and the outdoors.
At the Research Laboratory machine shop, Schaefer built equipment for Langmuir and his research associate, Katharine Blodgett. In 1932 Langmuir asked Schaefer to become his research assistant. Schaefer accepted and in 1933 began his research work with Langmuir, Blodgett, Whitney, and others at the Research Lab and throughout the GE organization. With Langmuir, Blodgett and others as well as by himself, Schaefer published many reports on the areas he studied, which included surface chemistry techniques, electron microscope techniques, polarization, the affinity of ice for various surfaces, protein and other monolayers, studies of protein films, television tube brightness, and submicroscopic particulates. After his promotion to research associate in 1938, Schaefer continued to work closely with Langmuir on the many projects Langmuir obtained through his involvement on national advisory committees, particularly related to military matters in the years immediately before and during the Second World War. This work included research on gas mask filtration of smokes, submarine detection with binaural sound, and the formation of artificial fogs using smoke generators--a project which reached fruition at Vrooman's Nose in the Schoharie Valley with a demonstration for military observers.
During his years as Langmuir's assistant, Langmuir allowed and encouraged Schaefer to carry on his own research projects. As an example of this, in 1940 Schaefer became known in his own right for the development of a method to make replicas of individual snowflakes using a thin plastic coating. This discovery brought him national publicity in popular magazines and an abundance of correspondence from individuals, including many students, seeking to replicate his procedure.
In 1943 the focus of Schaefer's and Langmuir's research shifted to precipitation static, aircraft icing, ice nuclei, and cloud physics, and many of their experiments were carried out at Mount Washington Observatory in New Hampshire. In the summer of 1946 Schaefer developed a laboratory method to seed supercooled clouds with dry ice, and in November 1946 he conducted a successful field test seeding a natural cloud by airplane. The resulting publicity again brought an abundance of correspondence, this time from people and businesses making requests for snow as well as scientists around the world also working on weather modification. Schaefer's discovery also led to debates over the appropriateness of tampering with nature through cloud seeding. In addition, the successful field test enabled Langmuir to obtain federal funding to support additional research in cloud seeding and weather modification by the GE Research Laboratory. Schaefer was coordinator of the laboratory portion of Project Cirrus while the Air Force and Navy supplied the aircraft and pilots to carry out field tests and to collect the data used at the Research Laboratory. Field tests were conducted in the Schenectady area as well as in Puerto Rico and New Mexico.
When the military pilots working on Project Cirrus were assigned to duties in connection with the Korean War, GE recommended that Project Cirrus be discontinued after comprehensive reports were prepared of the project and the discoveries made. The final Project Cirrus report was issued in March 1953. While Project Cirrus was winding down, Schaefer was approached by Vernon Crudge on behalf of the trustees of the Munitalp Foundation to work on Munitalp's meteorological research program. For a time, Schaefer worked for both the Research Laboratory and Munitalp, and in 1954 he left the Research Laboratory to become the Director of Research of Munitalp. At Munitalp, Schaefer worked with the U.S. Forest Service in the northern Rocky Mountains on Project Skyfire, a program to determine the uses of cloud seeding to affect the patterns of lightening in thunderstorms (and the resulting forest fires started by lightening). Project Skyfire had its roots in an association between the Forest Service and Schaefer begun in the early days of Project Cirrus. While at Munitalp Schaefer also worked on developing a mobile atmospheric research laboratory and time-lapse films of clouds. Schaefer left Munitalp in 1958, turning down an offer to move with the Foundation to Kenya, but he remained an advisor to Munitalp for several years after that.
After leaving Munitalp, Schaefer's career turned towards scientific education, and let him put his belief in the power of experimentation and observation over book-learning into practice. He worked with the American Meteorological Society and Natural Science Foundation on an educational film program and to develop the Natural Sciences Institute summer programs which gave high school students the opportunity to work with scientists and on their own to do field research and experimentation. From 1959 to 1961 Schaefer was director of the Atmospheric Science Center at the Loomis School in Connecticut. From 1962 to 1968 the NSI program was continued with Schaefer's directorship under the auspices of the Atmospheric Sciences Research Center (ASRC) at the State University of New York at Albany. During this period Schaefer also continued his consulting work for many companies, government agencies, and universities. These consulting activities spanned most of Schaefer's career, and extended beyond his retirement from ASRC in 1976.
Schaefer helped found ASRC in 1960 and served as its Director of Research until 1966 when he became Director. Schaefer brought highly qualified atmospheric science researchers to ASRC, many of whom he had met through his work at GE and Munitalp. Bernard Vonnegut, Raymond Falconer and Duncan Blanchard were all veterans of Project Cirrus who joined Schaefer at ASRC. During his years at ASRC, in addition to the NSI summer programs, Schaefer led annual research expeditions to Yellowstone National Park for atmospheric scientists to work in the outdoor laboratory it provided each January. In the 1970s Schaefer's own research interests focused on solar energy, aerosols, gases, air quality, and pollution particles in the atmosphere. His work in some of these areas culminated in a three-part report on AAir Quality on the Global Scale in 1978. In addition, during the 1970s Schaefer was an instructor in the American Association for the Advancement of Science Chautauqua short courses for science teachers.
During his retirement, Schaefer worked with photographer John Day on A Field Guide to the Atmosphere (1981), a publication in the Peterson Field Guide series. In addition to continuing his consulting work, Schaefer was in a position to devote much more of his time to some of his life-long interests such as environmental issues, natural and local history. This included the writing of numerous articles and the delivering of many presentations concerning the natural environment of upstate New York and the human impact on it. He also devoted much of his time to the fight for the preservation of many wilderness areas and parks, such as the Mohonk Preserve, Vroman's Nose, and the Great Flats Aquifer. Schaefer's long-term interest in Dutch barns made it possible for him to assume the editorship of Dutch Barn Miscellany for a time and to build a scale model of a Dutch barn. He also did a lot of research on the original settler families of the Schenectady and Mohawk Valley areas. During his retirement, Schaefer reflected on his extraordinary life preparing timelines, an unpublished autobiography, and indices to some of his research notebooks and film collections. Schaefer also attended to the disposition of his papers and library. He also worked on a project he entitled "Ancient Windows of the Earth." This involved the slicing of rocks thinly so as to create a translucent effect. When he mounted such pieces on lampshades or other objects, it created a stained-glass window effect from natural rock highlighting the rock's geologic history. As part of this project, Schaefer designed and built a window in memory of his parents for the Saint James Church in North Creek in the Adirondacks.
Schaefer married Lois Perret on July 27, 1935. Until their deaths they lived on Schermerhorn Road in Schenectady, in a house Schaefer built with his brothers, which they called Woestyne South. Woestyne North was the name the Schaefers gave to their camp in the Adirondacks. The Schaefers had three children, Susan, Katherine, and James. Vincent Schaefer died July 25, 1993 at the age of 87.

Note: The following discussion of the scope and contents of the Schaefer Papers is based on a preliminary inventory of the collection and the processing that was completed as of May 1, 2006. This information is subject to change as processing of the collection continues.
The Vincent J. Schaefer Papers span virtually all of Schaefer's life--from the Archeological Research newspaper he printed with his fellow Lone Scouts in his youth to his journals and correspondence which end with his death in 1993. Acquired in several accessions both before and after Schaefer's death, the Papers include not only written materials, but Schaefer's extensive photograph and film collections.
The Outline of Subgroups, Series, and Subseries, which follows this scope and content note provides an overview of the topics covered by Schaefer's papers. The collection has been divided into six main categories: Biographical and Autobiographical Information, Professional Career, Scientific Educating Activities, Publications, Photographs, and Schaefer and Environmentalism. The division of materials into the various subgroups, series, and subseries has been somewhat imposed on the collection during processing due to the varying degrees of initial organization some of the materials came with. Schaefer's pattern of working on multiple projects at the same time also meant that the distinction between what materials belonged to various portions of his professional career and what belonged to his hobbies and personal activities was not always clear. The line between Schaefer's personal acquaintances and those he meet and maintained professional relationships with is equally blurred in his correspondence. Nevertheless, every attempt has been made during processing to organize materials by the subject matter to which they most directly relate in order to facilitate access to the Papers. Appropriate cross-references to related materials will be included in the series descriptions in cases where it is deemed best to retain the materials in their original order even when such order is not by subject matter.
The Biographical and Autobiographical Information section of the Papers contains Schaefer's personal journals (1948-1993); his calendars for 1960-1993, as well as detailed itineraries for 1962-1968; drafts of Schaefer's unpublished autobiographies; several autobiographical articles and addresses; newspaper and journal articles written about Schaefer; and correspondence and inventory lists reflecting Schaefer's involvement in the disposition of his papers, library, and photograph and film collections. Also includes correspondence, resumes, time lines, articles, outlines, and miscellaneous materials, some of which Schaefer prepared in anticipation of writing his autobiography, providing background information on Schaefer's life and career.
With the exception of his work as a machinist apprentice at the General Electric Company and his work with the Davey Institute of Tree Surgery in the 1920s, for which there are relatively few correspondence and other documentation in the Papers, the rest of Schaefer's professional career is well documented. Correspondence, research notes, and reports make up the bulk of the materials documenting Schaefer's work at the General Electric Research Laboratory both on projects with Irving Langmuir and on his own. Each member of the Research Laboratory was required to keep a notebook documenting his or her work and discoveries, and have the entries witnessed by another member of the Research Laboratory. During his years at General Electric, Schaefer used several notebooks and in his retirement he prepared a detailed index and time line of the topics covered in his Research Laboratory notebooks. In addition to his Research Laboratory notebooks, Schaefer also kept his loose research notes and data regarding experiments he carried out at both the Research Laboratory and at the laboratory he had in his home.
In addition to the research notes and reports reflecting Schaefer's research in the 1930s in topics such as surface chemistry techniques, electron microscope techniques, polarization, the affinity of ice for various surfaces, protein and other monolayers, studies of protein films, television tube brightness, and submicroscopic particulates, the General Electric Research Laboratory subgroup includes many photographs of snowflakes and magazine and news articles regarding Schaefer development in the early 1940s of a method to preserve individual snowflakes. Correspondence, research notes, and collected data also document Schaefer work with Langmuir in the early 1940s on the development of smoke generators, binaural sound for submarine detection, aircraft icing, and precipitation static. The documentation for Project Cirrus, which grew out of Schaefer's discovery in 1946 of a method to seed clouds.
The environmentalism subgroup consists of materials relating to Vincent J. Schaefer's activities as an environmental advocate during the latter stages of his career and after his retirement. During Schaefer's tenure at General Electric and Munitalp, he had forged a brilliant career for himself as a research scientist. While at General Electric and Munitalp, Schaefer had in many projects funded by various branches of the military, including atomic tests and chemical and biological warfare programs. While at ASRC-SUNYA, his orientation evolved and he became more concerned with environmental issues. Schaefer continued this trend during his retirement. He fought hard to preserve vast tracts of wilderness, such as the Mohonk Preserve in the Shawangunk Mountains and areas along the Long Path of New York, such as Vroman's Nose. Schaefer and his colleagues also fought hard against the building of the Rotterdam Square Mall and for protection of the Great Flats Aquifer, a unique source of pure water which his own town of Schenectady had been using since its settlement by Europeans in the seventeenth century. This subgroup documents efforts to preserve such areas, as well as the fight against their development, and other activities to do with the outdoors, such as skiing, hiking, exploring, speleology, scouting, and bird and wildlife watching in which Schaefer and his associates engaged until Schaefer's death in 1993. Preservation concerns in this subgroup include water damage, folding and brittleness of some of the records.
Series 1: Personal Logs, 1948-1977, 1979-1993, 1.32 cubic ft., Arranged chronologically
Photocopies of Schaefer's log books. The 1947 log is a regular notebook containing a variety of items: engagements, expenses, scientific notes, accounts of a cloud seeding flight (2/7) and a trip to the western US, a note on the origin of the word 'serendipity,' and various random scribblings. In 1948 Schaefer begins to use General Electric log books, and his entries start to follow a regular pattern, often beginning with a brief description of the weather and then recounting that day's activities with general references to work. There are several gaps in the logs and the entire year of 1978 is missing. A number of books have 'memorandum' sections in the back in which Schaefer wrote down scientific notes.
Series 2: Schedules and Itineraries, 1944-1993, .83 cubic ft., Arranged chronologically by type
Contains GE pocket diary schedule books (1944-1960, with the exception of 1945, 1950, and 1958), and Monthly Minder calendars for 1960-1993 (with the exception of 1981). Also includes folders maintained by Schaefer's secretary to keep track of his itinerary for 1962-1968, containing mainly lists of his monthly schedule and copies of correspondence setting up speaking engagements and other trips for ASRC and for consulting projects. Finally, this series includes lists prepared by Schaefer for specific trips or to account for all his trips over a period of time, as well as miscellaneous calendars. Most of the diaries and calendars have been extensively marked by Schaefer and some of the entries use code letters that Schaefer employed to designate specific projects he worked on. The calendars provide information on when Schaefer was traveling or at home, if he had visitors, and meetings and appointments. Some of the pocket diaries and monthly minders also contain phone numbers of key contact persons and other lists of information.
Series 3: Unpublished Autobiographical Writings, 1.33 cubic ft., Arranged by subject
Description: "The Adirondack Connection" Multiple copies of an autobiography Schaefer wrote recounting his experiences in the Adirondack Mountains between the years 1912 and 1988. The work is divided into fifty vignettes (listed in a table of contents) of one to five pages each, but they are not in chronological order. One, "Mountain Tales from Moonshine Hill" (#43) is fourteen pages long; it is the only vignette that is dated and has named subdivisions, suggesting that it may have been started as a distinct work. Each copy is labeled as ""Twenty Years at Langmuir University" The Adirondack Connection;" why Schaefer did this is unclear as this work does not have any direct connection to "Twenty Years at Langmuir University." There are three typed copies; one is complete, but the others are missing vignettes. Incomplete copy #1 lacks vignettes 3, 7, and 12, and contains an extra copy of vignette 37 ("My Whiteface Mountain Connection"). Incomplete copy #2 is missing vignettes 25-45 and 47-50, and contains a vignette not found in the others, ""Ride Up-Slide Down" Gluesing" (14a). The handwritten copy contains all fifty vignettes plus three pieces not found in the typed copies: "The Doug Morehouse/Schaefer Property," "The Deiseroth/Mearns Property," and one that is untitled, but which concerns land acquired by the Schaefer family.
Series 4: Background Materials, .84 cubic ft., Arranged alphabetically
Contains various versions of Schaefer's resumes; time lines Schaefer prepared of his life; articles and letters written by others about Schaefer; patent listings; publications lists; outlines for exhibits on Schaefer; and other correspondence; all of which provide background information on Schaefer's life and career. Although Schaefer gathered together materials about his various projects and interests for his use in preparing his autobiographies, it was decided during processing to return those materials to their appropriate subject categories for more efficient access and in only one instance were the materials Schaefer specifically collected on himself kept together. Therefore, this series was artificially created during processing to include materials that relate to Schaefer's life, but which do not clearly or directly relate to any specific project or interest of his. Schaefer's resumes and biographical sketches, as well as the time lines which he prepared of his life, are extremely useful for understanding his many activities and interests. [incomplete processing note: this series does not include copies of the newspaper clippings that Schaefer collected about himself which still need to be photocopied and included in this series.]
Series 5: Honors and Awards, 1.0 cubic ft., Arranged chronologically
Contains correspondence (including congratulatory letters); announcements/programs; newspaper articles regarding honors given to Schaefer; and plaques, citations, and certificates received by Schaefer. Membership certificates for some organizations that Schaefer was involved in are also included here, although it is unclear whether such memberships were bestowed on him as honors or were simply from organizations he chose to join for professional or personal reasons.
Series 6: Schaefer Collection Disposition, .34 cubic ft., Arranged alphabetically
Contains correspondence regarding the disposition of Schaefer's papers, library, and photograph and film collections; lists of the book collection; and inventories prepared by Schaefer of the cloud-seeding and other films in his possession. Although there are some discrepancies between his inventories and the actual film collection, his notes provide useful background information on the subjects of the films as well as what Schaefer himself felt was most important about them, just as his correspondence about his collection provide information into his view of his library and papers, their highlights, and their historical value.
Series 1: Davey Institute of Tree Surgery, 1927-1933, .17 cu. ft, Arranged alphabetically
Correspondence from the Davey Institute of Tree Surgery in Kent, Ohio, regarding their course of study and Schaefer's participation in same; Schaefer's handwritten answers in examination booklets for a series of lessons on trees and tree surgery topics; Schaefer's employment agreement with the Davey Institute; and a notebook Schaefer kept regarding some tree work he did as AMohawk Valley Tree Experts in 1933. The notebook also includes some notes of Schaefer's related to membership in the Van Epps-Hartley Chapter of the New York Archeological Association.

Langmuir's research interests encompassed chemistry, physics, and, later, atmospheric science; he invented the incandescent electric lamp and was awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1932. Vincent Schaefer came to Langmuir's attention in the early 1930s when Schaefer was working in GE's machine shop, and Langmuir took him on as a research assistant. Schaefer received an education in chemistry, physics and mathematics that made him into a fully-fledged research scientist, and Schaefer later described the experience as "twenty years at Langmuir University." Schaefer and Langmuir collaborated on several research projects, including smoke generation to shield troop movements during World War II, the problem of icing on military aircraft, cloud physics and the possibility of cloud seeding, and, subsequently to that, Project Cirrus, of which Langmuir served as director. Langmuir and Schaefer complemented one another as researchers; Langmuir provided the theoretical framework for a research project, while Schaefer would deal with the empirical aspects, figuring out the experiments needed to complete it.

This series consists of material relating to Vincent J. Schaefer's activities as Director of Research at the Munitalp Foundation, Inc. The latter was a private non-profit endowed organization whose mission was to foster cooperative research in Meteorology/Atmospheric Science. During its first few years of existence in the early 1950s, its members reviewed the situation of meteorological research in detail, especially Mr. Kenneth Spangler, the then Executive Secretary of the American Meteorological Society. It was concluded from this review that governments of the world through both their Armed Forces and civilian groups had poured enormous levels of funding into Atmospheric Research, but although these financial allocations had served as an important stimulus in the field, they seemed unlikely to the members of the Munitalp Foundation to provide all of the much sought after answers to the then current research problems. The members of the Foundation felt that they could provide new impetus, concentrations of enthusiasm and effort in the field of Meteorology, but they also fostered cooperative research work with individuals involved in the better known sciences. Vincent Schaefer, while still a research assistant associated with Dr. Irving Langmuir at the General Electric Company in Schenectady, New York, first became associated with the Munitalp Foundation in November of 1951 and then joined it as a full-time Director of Research in November of 1954. The material contained in this series reflects the many and varied activities of the Munitalp Foundation while Vincent Schaefer was its Director of Research. These include accounts and expenses relating to trips, projects, conferences and societies of which he was a member. Many articles by Schaefer and his associates figure in this series, as well as copious correspondence dealing with such activities of the Foundation as jet plane traffic, missiles, pollution, jet stream research, power plant operation, cloud seeding, weather patterns, rainfall studies, atmospheric electricity, solar radiation, the properties of clouds and atmospheric nuclei, weather modification projects and dealings with the United Nations. This series also includes materials pertaining to Project Skyfire and a review of the literature and research of Schaefer's times relating to fire study and prevention, as well as documents to do with smog research and research into tornadoes and severe weather patterns. Many maps and weather measurement charts are included in the last box (68). Perhaps one of the most intriguing documents in this series is to be found in the materials concerning jet stream research (Box 58 Folder 8) and is entitled "How did they beat us?", an unpublished letter referring to how the Soviets managed to launch Sputnik before the Americans could get a craft of their own into action.
