<p class="MsoPlainText">Hi Dave. Sorry that we don't have Verne Grants field books here at the Smithsonian, However, this might a good time to remind everyone that there are more than 8000 field books catalogued at the Smithsonian, more than 1100 of which
describe plant collecting. These are the product of the Field Book Project <a href="https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__www.mnh.si.edu_rc_fieldbooks_&d=AwMFBA&c=-dg2m7zWuuDZ0MUcV7Sdqw&r=CLFZJ3fvGSmDp7xK1dNZfh6uGV_h-8NVlo3fXNoRNzI&m=IRpKhvi3VEmQfe3B4hRlz3gzuPyXfnzXn2QxjYNmeYQ&s=diN1WAiATiofdiJ9xgnGAS7tN3xlmvAfJlGiyu_QdMM&e=">
http://www.mnh.si.edu/rc/fieldbooks/</a> . There are multiple ways to search for these, the most complete of which is to visit
<a href="https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__collections.si.edu_search_&d=AwMFBA&c=-dg2m7zWuuDZ0MUcV7Sdqw&r=CLFZJ3fvGSmDp7xK1dNZfh6uGV_h-8NVlo3fXNoRNzI&m=IRpKhvi3VEmQfe3B4hRlz3gzuPyXfnzXn2QxjYNmeYQ&s=wBlWbc_xNAsrAmnLUbhoeSSDUpjgK-gb0FUOc1WC4JU&e=">http://collections.si.edu/search/</a> , enter the collector name as a search term, and from that result set filter by type="Field notes". Many are now digitally imaged at the page level, and some have been full transcribed
by the SI Transcription Center <a href="https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__transcription.si.edu_&d=AwMFBA&c=-dg2m7zWuuDZ0MUcV7Sdqw&r=CLFZJ3fvGSmDp7xK1dNZfh6uGV_h-8NVlo3fXNoRNzI&m=IRpKhvi3VEmQfe3B4hRlz3gzuPyXfnzXn2QxjYNmeYQ&s=1kHvJ_n8Krk71xxA7mF1D7AphknjUIdfplbFU-S7dZA&e=">https://transcription.si.edu/</a> . The Field Book Project has recently become a BHL partner and we are beginning to load content into BHL. Just to make things a little easier, I've attached
a spreadsheet containing the current list of botany field books, Any inquiries about the status of botany field books, or the Field Book Project in general, may be directed to me.<o:p></o:p></p>
