The Western Historical Manuscripts Collection acquired the Marlin Perkins Papers through a donation from Carol Perkins in August, 1990. The Marlin Perkins Papers is a very large and exciting collection which consists of the personal and professional papers of Dr. R. Marlin Perkins and Carol Perkins. R. Marlin Perkins was born in Carthage, Missouri in 1905, the youngest of three boys. His interest in wildlife was evident from a very young age and he began attending the College of Agriculture at the University of Missouri - Columbia in 1924. Having become disenchanted with the College of Agriculture, Perkins wanted assurance of his passion for wildlife. After discussing it with his father, Perkins left the University of Missouri - Columbia at the end of his sophomore year to pursue a job involving wild animals.
Perkins began his career with the St. Louis Zoo in 1926 as a sweeper. With the donation of his personal collection of reptiles he rapidly rose to the position of Curator of Reptiles. In September, 1938, Perkins accepted the Curatorship of the Buffalo Zoological Gardens developing it into a modern and attractive small zoo. In May, 1944, he was appointed Director of the Lincoln Park Zoo in Chicago, and under his direction the Lincoln Park Zoo became internationally known. Dr. Perkins returned to St. Louis accepting the Directorship of the St. Louis Zoo on October 1, 1962. Upon his retirement in 1970, he was named Director Emeritus of the St. Louis Zoo, a position he held until his death in 1986.
During his early years at the Lincoln Park Zoo, Perkins began his remarkable career in television. Dr Perkins' television venture include the award winning, "Zoo Parade", which was seen on television from 1949 to 1957, and "Mutual of Omaha's Wild Kingdom:, which was first aired in 1961 and continued to run for twenty-six seasons, winning four Emmy Awards.
Although he never returned to complete his formal education, Perkins was the recipient of numerous honorary degrees. Dr. Perkins remained extremely active in education and conservation throughout his life. His efforts included involvement with the American Cancer Society, involvement with public education regarding wildlife conservation, international consultation for zoo development and wildlife conservation, and the establishment and development of The Canid Survival and Research Center Wolf Sanctuary in 1971. His widow, Carol Perkins, continues these efforts.
