  Historical Background
Until the 1880's, it was mainly palaeobotanists, geologists, or entomologists, who incidentally produced descriptions of fossil insects; their natural unit of research was an insect fossil assemblage from a fossil site or a group of such sites.
Later appeared specialised entomologists working at a global scale and analysing among other questions, phylogenetic relationships of fossils; those are Samuel Hubbard Scudder (1837-1911) and particularly Anton Handlirsch (1865-1935).
The present state of palaeoentomology has been determined mostly by efforts of Frank Morton Carpenter (1902-1994) and Andrei Vassilievich Martynov (1879-1938).

Samuel Hubbard Scudder was a leading figure in American entomology in the mid-to-late nineteenth century and the “Founding Father” of North American studies in fossil terrestrial arthropods.
Scudder was a prolific writer, publishing 791 papers between 1858-1902, including such topics as insect biogeography, insect paleobiogeography, insect behavior, insect ontogeny and phylogeny, insect herbivory, insect songs, trace fossils, evolution, economic entomology, ethnology, general geology, and geography.
Scudder was a student of Mark Hopkins at Williams College and Louis Agassiz at Harvard University.

Scudder, entomologist, nomenclatorist and bibliographer, was the founder of American paleoentomology.
He had the fortune to study the entomological material of the various post-Civil War expeditions made by the U.S. Geological Survey to the western United States and was attached for a brief time to the Survey as a paleontologist.
Included among its holdings are some types of Scudder based on material collected by the Survey on expeditions to the Rocky Mountains.

He was a member of many important scientific expeditions, invented an automatic spectroscope which has never been displaced, measured the velocity of the sun's rotation, and was a large contributor to public knowledge of the science.
Equally important have been the contributions made by Samuel Pierpont Langley, perhaps the greatest authority on the sun alive to-day.
He showed a decided fondness for astronomy even as a boy, and at the age of thirty was assistant in the observatory at Harvard.

There was also a piece by British philosopher James Ward on John Stuart Mill's "ethology." The second volume contained a piece by American philosopher Samuel Alexander on the "Natural Selection of Morals," a title that eerily foreshadows current debates in sociobiology and evolutionary psychology.
Science sputtered at first, but was revived by Alexander Graham Bell and Samuel Hubbard Scudder in 1882.
Scudder had been a student of Louis Agassiz and, at the time of his taking over the editorial reins of Science, President of the Boston Society for Natural History.

 Alfred Russel Wallace Collection, American Philosophical Society
Wallace toes a delicate line between remaining open to the possibility of the inheritance of acquired characteristics and simply rejecting that possibility as too difficult to verify.
The correspondence also suggests something of the degree to which Wallace was integrated into contemporary scientific networks, particularly a letter to Samuel Scudder (April 12,.
Three letters from the skeptical philosopher and novelist, Samuel Butler (May 22, 24, and 27, 1879), are particularly noteworthy for revealing his colleagues' reaction to Wallace's beliefs, although Wallace had better success with his fellow believer, Epes Sargent (Dec. 13, 1880) and with Archdeacon Colley (Feb. 26, 1907).

In 1874, Dr. A.C. Peale – a geologist for Hayden’s survey – wrote the first document to the government stating the scientific importance of the Petrified Forest and estimated the fossils to be approximately 34 or 35 million years old.
Shortly to follow Dr. Peale was the paleontologist Samuel Hubbard Scudder who was also impressed by the scientific importance of the forest and fossil beds.
He made this valley his home for several years as he dug fossils and made many discoveries.

During that time prominent researchers were, among others, well known figures such as Ernst Germar, Swiss palaeobotanist Oswald Heer (1809-1883), and French entomologist Charles Brongniart (1859-1899).
In the 1880s the North American entomologist Samuel Hubbard Scudder (1837-1911) and later during the 1900s the Austrian palaeoentomologist Anton Handlirsch (1865-1935) began working at a global scale.
Thus Scudder and Handlirsch transformed palaeoentomology from a collection of interesting but disparate observations into a consolidated branch of science, and prepared a base for its further development.
