BOX 1-8 | Energy and Environment File, 1953-2013 | ||||||||||||
The Energy and Environment File primarily documents Gibbons's career from 1954 to
1979. Reflected in the series are his positions at the Oak Ridge National
Laboratory from 1954 to 1973, role as director of the Office of Energy
Conservation from 1973 to 1974, and tenure as director of the Energy, Environment,
and Resources Center at the University of Tennessee from 1974 to 1979. Gibbons's
early career and interests in atomic elements, energy, environment, nuclear
physics, and nucleosynthesis of heavy elements inside stars are highlighted in
files relating to the Oak Ridge National Laboratory. As a result of the energy
crisis in the United States in the 1970s, the Office of Energy Conservation was
created in the Department of Interior in 1973, and Gibbons was the first director.
His efforts to reduce energy use within the federal government and provide
information and assistance to the public and private sectors on energy
conservation are included in this series. Also featured are Gibbons's activities
relating to energy conservation with the Federal Energy Office, Federal Energy
Administration, Energy Research and Development Administration, and Committee on
Nuclear and Alternative Energy Systems. A speech and engagement file documents
Gibbons's presentations pertaining to energy and the environment. Also included in
the series are digital files containing audio and video files of Gibbons's
speeches and engagements from 1968 to 1979 along with supporting papers such as
partial transcripts and programs. The paper and digital files complement each
other. Material types include correspondence and memoranda, speeches and supporting material, notes, reports, clippings, photographs, printed matter, research material, and other material. Digital files contain audio and video files of Gibbons's speeches and engagements. |

The Office of Technology Assessment series chronicles Gibbons's career as director
of the office from 1979 to 1993 and further documents the activities of the
office. The office was established in 1972 as a bipartisan agency of the United
States Congress to provide independent, expert, and comprehensive analysis on
issues involving the impacts of science and technology upon society. Under
Gibbons's leadership, the office generated reports on diverse topics over the
entire spectrum of technologies that affect or are affected by public policy.
Topics range from agriculture to health, energy, biotechnology, environment,
nuclear weapons, and space programs. Some of the reports or documentation about
working on these reports are included in the series. An extensive speech and
engagement file in the series includes Gibbons's handwritten, typed, and printed
speeches. Also included are his testimonies before Congress and presentations
highlighting the office's mission, activities, and accomplishments. Digital files
contain audio and video files of Gibbons's speeches and engagements from 1979 to
1993 along with supporting papers. The paper and digital files complement each
other. Speech and engagement topics include agricultural innovations, climate
change, dependency on foreign oil, energy, nuclear arms race, renewable resources,
science, space stations, sustainable development, and technology policies and
strategies. Documents in the series provide insight into Gibbons's efforts to help
Germany start an equivalent to the Office of Technology Assessment in 1988.
Included in subject files are documentation of Gibbons's involvement with the 1982
World's Fair and International Energy Symposia Series. Also included in topical
files are paper and digital files about defunding the Office of Technology
Assessment in 1995 and subsequent efforts to reestablish it. Material types include correspondence, memoranda, speeches, notes, testimonies, transcripts, appointment calendars, articles, proceedings, reports, printed matter, telephone logs, and writings about the office. Digital files contain audio and video files. |
