USDA Bureau of Biological Survey Records. Special Collections, USDA National Agricultural Library.
The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Bureau of Biological Survey began as the Office of Economic Ornithology in 1885, under the Division of Entomology. Its main task was to study how birds affected farm production. In its first decade, this unit evolved into the Division of Biological Survey, and its duties were expanded to include the study of distribution of birds and other animals in the wild, as well as tracking of the food and migratory habits of wildlife. The division gained bureau status in 1905. Research was then expanded to include the economic connections between conserving wildlife and controlling species that were harmful to agriculture. The bureau also had responsibilities for enforcing wildlife laws and managing wildlife refuges. In 1939, the bureau was transferred to the U.S. Department of the Interior (DOI). In 1940, it merged with the Bureau of Fisheries (also transferred to the DOI in 1939) to become the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service.
