These files are a compilation from various sources and reflect the offices held by Dr. Prance at the NYBG. It was difficult to discern which files belonged to which office as he held positions simultaneously. From 1977 to 1981 he was Director of Botanical Research and Vice President of the NYBG. Also, from 1981 to 1988 he served as Senior Vice President for Science and Director of the Institute of Economic Botany. These files are strictly subject oriented. Following this series are the personal correspondence files in a separate series. Subjects covered extensively include grant and film proposals, determination lists, Classification Society of North America, CODEL (a consortium of Christian organizations concerned with Third World development issues), INPA, Rio Pacaja Timber Survey, the Rockefeller Foundation, the World Bank and the World Wildlife Foundation.
