<div dir="ltr"><div>We received notice about the papers of John Gasperetti, a herpotologist that focused on the Middle East (for more information about Hohn Gasperetti I have attached an obituary from <i>Zoology in the Middle East).</i> </div><div><br></div><div>His widow has his papers, and her health is failing so her friends and family are trying to find an institution that will take Gasperetti's papers, which include his field notes. Those interested will need to arrange for the packing and shipping of the materials, which are in Cairo. There is concern that the material will be disposed of if they can't find a place for them.</div><div><br></div><div>If you are interested in these papers, or know of any institution that are please email me, and I will forward the message to the family.</div><div><br></div><div>Thank you,</div><div><br></div><div><div class="gmail_signature" data-smartmail="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.2;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:14pt"><span style="font-size:12px;font-family:Arial;color:rgb(71,126,39);font-weight:700;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;background-color:transparent">Rebekah Kim, MLIS
