Professor of household economics and household management, New York State College
of Home Economics at Cornell University.
Elizabeth Wiegand graduated from Cornell in 1938, worked several years as a home
demonstration agent in county extension programs in New York State, and returned to
Cornell, receiving her M.A. (1949) and Ph.D. (1953). Her doctoral dissertation on
the use of time by New York State homemakers provided not only descriptive data but
the basis for quantifying their work contributions with current data. She was involved
in teaching and research at Michigan State University for three years following completion
of her Ph.D. Upon her return to Cornell, she moved through the ranks of assistant
professor (1957) to professor (1964) as an extension specialist in family economics
and home management. She was named professor emerita in 1981.
Includes bound volumes of conference progams, speeches, and bulletins; bound and unbound
bulletins on household economics and management; correspondence about budgeting, answered
by Helen Canon (1927-1947), Jean Warren (1953-1964), Elizabeth Wiegand (1959-1969),
and other faculty members (1948-1952); records of adult home management programs;
and other papers of Elizabeth Wiegand related to her career on the faculty of the
New York State College of Home Economics (now the College of Human Ecology).
