<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-autospace:none"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Arial Narrow","sans-serif"">I am working on an upcoming (1 Dec 2018 -1 Mar 2019) exhibition entitled
<i>Pressed for Time: Botanical Collecting as Genteel Pastime or Scientific Pursuit?</i> This exhibition will explore the relationship between amateur and professional botany collectors and discuss the rift that formed between them at the turn of the 19<sup>th</sup>
century. I will be highlighting eight collectors and feature four each of their herbarium sheets. We are using mostly herbaria from our own collection but are also borrowing from other institutions. I am searching for sheets that represent a teacher and his/her
student, preferably between the dates of 1870-1940 as this can represent the American Nature Study Movement.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-autospace:none"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Arial Narrow","sans-serif""><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-autospace:none"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Arial Narrow","sans-serif"">I am curious if anyone’s collection houses such sheets, fully recognizing that that specific attribution may be elusive in the records; yet
hoping that staff familiarity with certain collectors may provide the relevant information.
