Ichthyologist, zoologist, fishery biologist, and professor at Cornell University.
Edward C. Raney was Cornell's ichthyologist in the Dept. of Conservation and later
in the Division of Biological Sciences from 1936 to 1971. Upon his retirement from
Cornell, Raney did consulting work for Ichthyological Associates, his environmental
consulting firm in Ithaca.
The Raney collection is used for basic research on the relationships and life histories
of fresh water and ocean fish in New York State and other areas, particularly the
Northeast. It contains the holotypes of 39 species of North American fishes and 228
lots of secondary typ material as well as an historical series of specimens collected
from the same geographic locations through much of the last century.
Original field notes, correspondence, and subject files of Edward C. Raney and his
students relating to the Raney Collection of Fishes and photographs, slides, and negatives
pertaining to his work and personal life.
