- Vibrarnt Treasures: Botanical Illustrations from the 16th to 20th Centuries
This is an online exhibit of many types of botanical illustrations. From the earliest work (Bock 1552), to the most recent work on how to create your own illustrations, the vibrancy and detailing of the plants drawn and painted will amaze you. Florilegia, peepshows, herbals, tomes, and how-to’s reveal a selection of the colorful botanical illustrations the MSU Libraries have to offer. - CBHL 2011 - My report in a Powerpoint format of the 43rd annual meeting of the Council on Botanical and Horticultural Libraries, held in Chicago.
- American Society for Horticultural Science Presidental Addresses, 1903-2003 / compiled by Jules Janick. This work is in the MSU Libraries, but few people realized how interesting and inspiring these addresses are to the listeners of the time, and actually how many are relevant to today's issues in the field. The file I've linked to is a list of the presidents and the title of their address. If the person has a tie to MAC or MSU, that is noted, too. Enjoy!
