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 Sir William Turner Thiselton-Dyer that he has written a letter to William Muir recommending Isaac Bayley Balfour for the position of Professor of Botany at Edinburgh University. JDH is ill with diarrhoea so must postpone his visit to Trinity House, where he had hoped to hear some of Strachey's lectures. JDH discusses the proposal of one 'Evans' that an unspecified society take on 500 corresponding members including semi scientific & non scientific men.
