Happy 60th anniversary, Hunt Institute!
10 October 2021
If you have been following Rachel on Twitter as she builds her new library, then you know that today (10 October 1961) is Dedication Day for the Rachel McMasters Miller Hunt Botanical Library. At the now Hunt Institute we're pleased to celebrate our 60th anniversary of making Rachel Hunt's botanical collection accessible to the public while continuing to serve the international scientific community through research and documentation. We're eagerly looking forward to the next 60 years.
