- Project and Contents Description
- This site provides full text access to voluntary meteorological observations taken at the Tuskegee Institute in Tuskegee, Alabama from November 1899 through June 1954. Most of these observations were handwritten and signed by George Washington Carver until 1932 and his successors until 1954. The observations were submitted on U.S. Weather Bureau Form no. 1009. The observer recorded minimum and maximum temperature, precipitation, prevailing wind direction, general description of the weather for that day, remarks and the signature of the observer. The U.S. Weather Bureau staff later added the monthly means and totals in red to each report.
