1935-1951

Papers of a Norwegian-born osteopathic physician and surgeon of Santa Barbara, California. The clippings, correspondence, pamphlets, and pictures, including "Vinland Saga" (1937) by Ousdal, deal with the founding of Norroenn Federation of America and its promotion of Leif Erikson Day. They deal also with Ousdal's fossil museum, including his collection of fossil whales rated as matchless by the Smithsonian Institute. Ousdal is the author also of 'Our Revolting Society' (1945) and of several monographs on paleontological subjects. He made translations of Sanskrit and Old Norse into English and invented the Solar-Ray.
