The Scientific Notebooks of German Orchidologist Friedrich Wilhelm Ludwig Kränzlin

About

The Chicago Botanic Garden’s Lenhardt Library has received a grant award from the Illinois State Library for digitization. This grant, for uniquely held items in Illinois, allows us to digitize one-of-a-kind handwritten, nineteenth-century manuscripts for which no other copy exists. The scientific notebooks of German orchidologist Friedrich Wilhelm Ludwig Kränzlin will also be transcribed.
