Plans, January 9
Scope and Content Note
The Kenneth Carpenter Collection consists of various papers accumulated by Carpenter from 1974 through 1975. Documentation compiled during this period concerns involvement of scientists and others at ASU in efforts by state and local government agencies, educational institutions, and private interests to lobby the federal government for placement of the new National Solar Energy Research Institute (NSERI) in Arizona. The institute had been established by the federal Energy Research and Development Administration (ERDA). The collection is divided into two series.
Series I: National Solar Energy Research Institute Files, focuses on cooperative efforts of various agencies, along with ASU, to demonstrate the advantages of placing NSERI in Arizona. Included within ten folders are committee rosters, meeting agendas and minutes, plans of action, state and federal legislation, reports, news clippings, budgets, ERDA data, and miscellaneous papers.
Series II: Solar Energy at ASU, addresses faculty interest in the subject. There are five folders containing faculty vitae, committees' documents, correspondence, reports, and miscellany.
