Lokke papers, 1872-1965 Collection Number: P0554 Extent: 5.2 cubic feet (7 archives boxes and 3 oversized boxes) Biography/History: Carl Ludwig Lokke was born to Oscar and Carrie Gunderson Lokke in Minneapolis, Minnesota, April 28, 1897. Carl had four siblings: Albert Lokke, Edna Lokke Isaacs, Lars K. Gravem, Roy N. Gravem, and Harold H. Lokke. He spent much of his youth in the Northwest, including parts of the Seward Peninsula. In the Kougarok precinct his grandfather was United States Commissioner. There Carl started his elementary education at a Territorial School opened for Inuits. Later he went to Nome High School (1913-1914), and eventually transferred to Olympia High School in Washington (1914-1917). Carl enrolled for military training at the University of Washington (1917-1918), but performed the bulk of his undergraduate degree at the University of California, Berkeley, majoring in German and history. From 1922-1924 he held a teaching fellowship at the University of California and was selected to assist Carlton J.H. Hayes of Columbia University. Eventually Carl went to NEw York for higher education. Columbia University awarded him a fellowship in 1924 and a lectureship in history in 1925. Starting in 1935 Carl worked at the National Archives. He was an active member in the Society of American Archivists, American Historical Association, Minnesota Historical Society, Norwegian-American Historical Association, and many others. At the time of his passing in 1960, he was on the editorial board of Norwegian-American Studies. Carl was married to Laura Wendt Lokke. A biography on Carl Lokke was published by H.B.

Scope and Content: Articles, clippings, correspondence, diaries, maps, notes, and photographs collected by an archivist, author, and educator.
