Browne Kuang-Chi Hung Finding Patterns in Nature: Asa Gray’s Plant Geography and Collecting Networks (1830s-1860s) Abstract It is well known that American botanist Asa Gray’s 1859 paper on the floristic similarities between Japan and the United States was among the earliest applications of Charles Darwin's evolutionary theory in plant geography. Commonly known as Gray’s “disjunction thesis,” Gray's diagnosis of that previously inexplicable pattern not only provoked his famous debate with Louis Agassiz but also secured his role as the foremost advocate of Darwin and Darwinism in the United States.

  • Reconstructing the Fragmented Library of Mondsee Abbey
    Reconstructing the Fragmented Library of Mondsee Abbey IVANA DOBCHEVA and VERONIKA WÖBER, Austrian National Library, Austria The Benedictine monastery of Mondsee was an important local centre for book production in Upper Austria already shortly after its foundation in 748. A central factor for the growth of the library were the monastic reform movements, which prompted the production of new liturgical books and consequently the discarding of older ones. When a bookbinding workshop was installed in the 15th century many of these manuscripts, regarded as useless, were cut up and re-used in bindings for new manuscripts, incunabula or archival materials. The aim of our two-year project funded by the Austrian Academy of Science (Go Digital 2.0) is to bring these historical objects in one virtual collection, where their digital facsimile and scholarly descriptions will be freely accessible online to a wide group of scholars from the fields of philology, codicology, history of the book and bookbinding. After a short glance at the history of Mondsee and the fate of the fragments in particular, this article gives an overview of the different procedures established in the project for the detecting and processing of the detached and in-situ fragments. Particular focus lays on the technical challenges encountered by the digitalisation, such as the work with small in-situ fragments partially hidden within the bookbinding. Discussed are also ways to address some disadvantages of digital facsimiles, namely the loss of information about the materiality of physical objects. Key words: Fragments, Manuscripts, Mondsee, Digitisation, Medieval library. CHNT Reference: Ivana Dobcheva and Veronika Wöber.

  • Wallich and His Contribution to the Indian Natural History
    Rheedea Vol. 26(1) 13–20 2016 Wallich and his contribution to the Indian natural history Ranee Om Prakash Department of Life Sciences, The Natural History Museum, Cromwell Road, London SW7 5BD, United Kingdom. E-mail: [email protected]. Abstract Various activities of Nathaniel Wallich, especially those that connect with Indian natural history are briefly reviewed. Wallich rose to a naturalist of international standard from a prisoner of war in discovering the riches of the then British India and reporting to the learned world. He established a close network of leading experts in the field of natural history and exchanged plant materials for the benefit of both the donor and receiving countries. During his superintendence of the then Royal Botanic Garden, Calcutta, which prevailed nearly three decades, Wallich introduced useful plants from across the world and elevated the status of the Garden as one of the finest in the world, published over 8,000 new species, about 142 genera of plants and established a world class herbarium. An initiative funded by the World Collections Programme has tried to give due recognition to Wallich towards his contribution to natural history by hosting a website (www.kew. org/wallich). This is a joint collaborative project between Kew Gardens, The Natural History Museum, London and The British Library with additional inputs from the Acharya Jagdish Chandra Bose Indian Botanic Garden, Howrah and The National Archives of India, New Delhi. Keywords: Collections, Herbarium, Online Resource, Wallich Catalogue Introduction located next to the river and use similar irrigation systems. Kew Garden was built in 1759 and the Nathaniel Wallich (1785–1854) spent 34 years in Calcutta Botanic Garden was established in 1787.

    natstand: last updated 09/12/2016 URL: www.natstand.org.uk/pdf/HanburyAF000.pdf Root person: Hanbury family Description: Overview of family Creation date: 2016 December 9 Prepared by: Richard Middleton Notes: Daniel Hanbury FRS FLS (1825 – 1875) Sir Thomas Hanbury (1832 – 1907) Sir Cecil Hanbury FLS MP ( 1871 – 1937) Frederick Janson Hanbury FLS (1851 – 1938) Press items reproduced with kind permission of The British Newspaper Archive ( www.britishnewspaperarchive.co.uk ) About Natstand family documents: A Natstand family document is intended to provide background information concerning the family of a deceased naturalist. It is hoped that such information will form a framework which will help interpret their surviving correspondence, specimens and records. In some cases it will also give an insight into the influences on their early lives and the family constraints within which they worked and collected. We have found that published family data concerning individuals rarely contain justification for dates and relationships and not infrequently contain errors which are then perpetuated. The emphasis in Natstand family documents will be on providing references to primary sources, whenever possible, which will be backed-up with transcriptions. Although a Natstand biography page will always carry a link to a family document, in many cases these documents will be presented without any further biographical material. We anticipate that this will occur if the person is particularly well known or is someone we are actively researching or have only a peripheral interest in. The following conventions are used: Any persons in the family tree with known natural history associations will be indicated in red type.

Derek Westwood Adams Submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements of the University of Hertfordshire for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy May 2010 Dedication This is for my father and mother Ernest Wilfred and Hilda Adams, and my maternal grandmother Alice Wightman, all of whom, in common with the families discussed in this thesis, understood the importance of education as a means to a successful and fulfiling life. But it was particularly my father that I had in mind while engaged in this work. He was extremely proud when I passed the 11+ examination and obtained a place at Grammar School; sadly he died shortly afterwards and so was unable to enjoy my subsequent academic successes. He would have been equally proud of this achievement; sorry it took so long Dad. 1 Acknowledgements I am grateful to the Master and Wardens of the Worshipful Society of Apothecaries of London, who by allowing me access to the archives of the Society, made the research phase of this work possible. Dee Cook, the Society‘s Archivist deserves my special thanks. It was during a conversation with her that the subject of the apothecaries‘ assistants arose as a possible topic and once I had decided on it, she enthusiastically helped me to find my way about the archive and offered many helpful suggestions. Similarly the library staff at the Pharmaceutical Society have been equally helpful.
