Bequest to Stuckey Endowment
18 July 2023
Over the years Ronald L. Stuckey (1938–2022), professor emeritus of botany at The Ohio State University and adjunct research scientist at the Hunt Institute (2004–2022), donated numerous biographical materials to our Archives and books to our Library. In 2003 he established the Ronald L. Stuckey Endowment for the Preservation of Botanical History to help our Archives and our Library acquire and preserve photographs, biographical sketches, obituaries of botanists and books on botanical history and bibliography. Now the Ronald L. Stuckey Living Trust has bequeathed over $8,000 to the Stuckey Endowment to continue this valuable work. We are grateful for Stuckey's longtime interest in Hunt Institute and his dedicated efforts to preserve the history of botany, which we will continue in his name.
