* Collections of the Month: Botany
Botany is the scientific study of plants, ranging from tiny single-celled
bacteria to the tallest trees.

This month the Archives Hub picks out the collections of botanists and
botanical societies of the past three hundred years. These include the
papers of herbalists, biochemists, geneticists, and even missionaries.
