Notes

New England botanists, Merritt Lyndon Fernald of Harvard University and James Franklin Collins, of Brown University, often made short summer trips to the Gaspe area beginning in 1904 and continuing through 1923. Other noted botanists joined them on these trips which yielded new and interesting plant material. The Gaspe Peninsula Collecting Papers collecting trips project is a composite of materials from several archival collections and consist of field notes, maps, photographs, correspondence, and other items. The material provides insights into the challenges of early 20th century plant collecting, documents the flora of the region, and is frequently consulted by researchers interested in the Gaspe region.
