Wilbur Greeley Burroughs was born in Shortsville, New York on December 7, 1886. He founded the Geology department at Berea College in 1920 and went on to receive his Ph.D. from Cornell University in 1932. In 1927, Burroughs was elected president of the Kentucky Academy of Science.
This collection consists of Burroughs correspondence with friends and students along with some of his scientific writings pertaining to geography, geology and archaeology. The collection also includes a large number of photographs of the prehistoric human footprints and Moundbuilder artifacts which he discovered in Madison County, KY. The artifacts left by the Moundbuilders were discovered in 1926 in the area of Indian Fort Mountain outside of Berea. In 1939, Dr. Burroughs discovered the famous prehistoric footprints.
