IIHR Director, John F. Kennedy stands with two others in front of a model

John F. Kennedy, 1958–91

John F. Kennedy (1933–91) served as director of IIHR from 1966 until 1991. He oversaw a tremendous growth in IIHR staff and a diversification of research fields, resulting in part from his ability to merge industrial and federal, applied and fundamental research efforts and funding sources. A man of great energy and creativity, he initiated research efforts investigating power-plant stations, cold regions engineering, and hydraulic dropshafts. He also broadened research in sediment transport, fundamental fluid mechanics, river engineering and erosion control structures, and other topics.

This record group, the largest in the IIHR Archives, consists of 27 boxes of materials on Kennedy, numbered separately within categories: 10 of “Publications and Reports,” 8 of “Travel and Speeches,” 5 of “Correspondence” (both to and from Kennedy), 2 of “Teaching Notes,” 1 of “Biographical Materials,” and 1 of “IAHR and Miscellaneous.” There may be some overlap among these categories: the Biographical Materials box may contain correspondence and additional publications that are not duplicated elsewhere; “Travel and Speeches” and “Publications and Reports” may include duplicate folders for the same event (e.g., for speeches that were later published). Also, labels on the file folders (especially “Travel and Speeches”) may not be identical to the catalogue record below, but the two should be easy to correlate. For additional files from Kennedy era, see the archive sets “IIHR Publications and Reports,” “IIHR Grants and Contracts,” and “IIHR Administration and Miscellaneous” for the appropriate years.

Three notebooks of Kennedy’s photographs/slides have been placed next to the archival boxes. These include a very large notebook of photos with negatives labeled “Friedman-Kennedy Trip to China, September–October 1985”; a thin notebook of Kennedy’s undated slides for three dropshaft lectures, along with miscellaneous slides of dropshafts and their performance and slides of the Phoenix helicoidal ramp dropshaft (1990); and a large binder of Kennedy’s undated photographs of rivers and alluvial channels. Additional photographs of Kennedy’s research and travel can be found in the IIHR Photo Archives.
