Historical note

The New Alchemy Institute was founded in 1969 by John Todd, Nancy Jack Todd, and William McLarney. Todd and McLarney, both marine biologists, first met as graduate students at the University of Michigan. They were later colleagues at San Diego State University where the Institute was founded. The Institute was incorporated in 1970 for the following purposes:

  1. To operate exclusively for scientific and educational purposes within the meaning of Section 23701(d) of the California Revenue and Taxation Code (or the corresponding provision of any future California Revenue Law).
  2. To engage in scientific research in the public interest on ecologically and
    behaviorally planned agricultural systems and rural land‑based communities.
  3. To provide educational information and instruction to the public on methods to reduce environmental contamination and to restore natural waters and landscapes.
  4. To educate the public on the significance of man's altering of the earth's biosphere including the oceans and of the means to correct this trend.

The Institute's work was begun on a small ranch in California. In 1970, when both Todd and McLarney took positions at the Woods Hole (Massachusetts) Oceanographic Institution, the New Alchemy Institute moved with them. A permanent site was established near East Falmouth, Massachusetts in the Cape Cod area. In its early years, the focus of the Institute was on ecological design, but later expanded to include agriculture, aquaculture and bioshelters. William McLarney said in 1975, "What we want to do now is design and test balanced ecosystems; maximizing production will come later." The first efforts resulted in a self‑sufficient food‑producing unit, or "bioshelter" incorporating wind power, solar power, greenhouses, and fishponds.

After 1984, New Alchemy's approach moved toward practical application of research results. A series of Research Reports were created to make the Institute's findings quickly available in an affordable format. Institute staff began to work with farmers, greenhouse operators, local government, and schools. The "Green Classroom" program, a garden‑based science curriculum, was implemented in area grade schools. Education Semester, a program which offered college credit for a semester of work and classes at the Institute, was established in 1984.

Though the 1980s were a productive period for New Alchemy, by 1990, a combination of factors threatened the Institute's continued existence. A regional economic downturn resulted in decreased availability of foundation grant monies, historically the main source of the Institute's operating expenses. Increased interest in environmental issues resulted in increased competition for these already dwindling funds. Despite program cutbacks, layoffs, and a public appeal for donations, the Institute could not continue, and by 1992 it had dissolved. Some former NAI associates organized another organization, the Green Center (based in Cape Cod, Massachusetts), the same year. It continues to disseminate information on concerns similar to those pursued by NAI.

For further information on the Institute's history, see the files of news articles in boxes 30 and 31. A description of the Institute's early work can be found in John Todd's book Tomorrow is Our Permanent Address, available in the Special Collections Department, call number TH4812.T62 1980.

 

Collection description

The collection (1970-1991) includes meeting minutes, financial records, correspondence, school programs, grant and other funding requests, annual reports, promotional materials, news articles, photographs, audiovisual materials, and publications. Materials in the collection document a broad range of the NAI's activities including its administrative, fundraising, promotional, programming, educational, research and publication pursuits. Materials of the Board of Directors include correspondence, meeting minutes, agendas and reports. The publications include research reports, brochures, handbooks, bulletins, newsletters, press releases, progress reports, and teacher's manuals. Within the collection are included working papers. Although some of these may have been published, many are clearly rough drafts and are marked on the title page "working paper not for citation." The news articles are primarily about the NAI, and included is an index of many of the articles. The audio/visual materials consist of a video about the NAI, an "All Things Considered" segment, a speech by Senator Paul Tsongas, and a video about windmills. Photographs in the collection are found in one folder containing photographs of staff members.

New Alchemy Institute is abbreviated as NAI throughout the inventory. Association de los Nuevos Alquimistas, a sister organization in Costa Rica established by New Alchemy co-founder William McLarney, is abbreviated as ANAI.
