Photographic Materials

The Botany Libraries archives will have limited appointments available from April 15- June 7, and appointments may need to be scheduled several weeks in advance. Please allow at least one week for responses to archives appointment, reference, and digitization emails during that time period.

The Botany Libraries photograph collection holds more than 1,500 images of botanists and their families, the exploration for and collection of specimens, plants of economic importance, and group portraits of assemblies at botanical meetings. The photographs are indexed on the finding aid and are organized alphabetically by name or subject. Please contact our archivists with questions regarding images of a particular person, plant, or region.

Additional photographs can be found in other collections of personal papers.  Please consult the terms regarding use of these images; a permission form may be required.
