The Joseph Dalton Hooker Collection
The Joseph Dalton Hooker Correspondence Project at Kew is making available online the personal and scientific correspondence of the botanist and explorer Sir Joseph Dalton Hooker (1817–1911), Director of the Royal Botanic Gardens’ Kew from 1865-1885. The project was conceived by staff of The University of Sussex and Kew's Library, Art and Archive department and began as a partnership between Kew and the University of Sussex's Centre for World Environmental History. It has been made possible by support from the Stevenson Family Charitable Trust. Letter summaries can be searched through Ɛpsilon, with links to images and transcriptions at the project site at Kew (https://www.kew.org/explore-our-collections/correspondence-collections/joseph-hooker-collections).

JDH informs Otto Stapf that he has received a Swedish Journal: ARKIV FÖR BOTANIK number 8 parts 1-5, 1909, issued by Kungl. Svenska Vetenskapsakademien [The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences]. JDH asks if he should send the work to the herbarium of the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew. Annotations written in another hand, believed to be that of herbarium assistant Sydney Alfred Skan, indicates that RBG Kew already receives the journal for Stockholm & that it appears in the library catalogue under Stockholm. An additional annotation confirms that the journal is the continuation of an existing one under a different title as JDH suspected: K. VETENSKAPS ACADEMIA. JDH also asks if the RBG Kew library wants L'ACADEMIE INTERNATIONALE DE GEOG. BOT., to which Skan has indicated that they already subscribe.
