The Special Interest, 1744-1957 (2.15 linear feet) subseries, arranged alphabetically, documents Bartlett's personal and research interests.2 This subseries provides insight into the history of botany, the history of botany at the University of Michigan, and into ethno botanical research. This series includes Bartlett's research notes, field notes, and Indonesian language materials. This series also contains manuscript histories of botany at the University of Michigan and of the U-M botanical gardens. Also included are materials related to early botany, including a 1550 Cedar of Lebanon census and copies of correspondence by Alexander Garden, Asa Gray, and Edward Lee Greene. [This series is primarily in tact as indexed by the Herbarium; however some material was separated because it was duplicative of records within the Bentley Historical Library's collections.]
