Invertebrate Paleontology, circa 1934

The collection on Rudolph W. Edmund, 1933-1998 and undated, contains material related to Edmund's time as a student at Augustana (including class notes and papers related to the Runic Honor Society, papers related to his professional research (including a subsurface mapping notebook and a draft of Edmund's Structural geology and physiography of the northern end of the Teton Mountains, Wyoming, 1951), and an audiocassette recording of Edmund's interment ceremony.

The Runic Honor Society series (1933-1949) contains a copy of the society's constitution, membership lists, a historical sketch, and Edmund's Runic Honor Society key. Edmund was one of the early members of this honor society. The F. M. Fryxell classes series (1934-1939 and undated) contains notes that Edmund recorded in classes taught by geologist Fritiof M. Fryxell while at Augustana College. The Manuscript (1951) series contains a draft of Edmund's Structural geology and physiography of the northern end of the Teton Mountains, Wyoming, 1951. This work was based on the field work done for his doctoral dissertation at the University of Iowa and was published by the Augustana College Library in 1951. Following the text of the book are the accompanying figures (in the form of photographs, maps, and diagrams) used. The subsurface mapping notebook (circa 1988) was created by Edmund for a 1 credit seminar at California Lutheran University. According to Richard C. Anderson, Edmund accumulated these materials over many years with the intention of compiling the information into a book, but his busy schedule never allowed him to finish the project. The Audiovisual Material series (1998) consists of one audiocassette recording of Rudolph Edmund's interment, 30 May 1998, which took place at the New Sweden Church and Cemetery.
