The Oxford Dictionary of National Biography has biographies of many botanists. For non-subscribers access may achieved through participating Libraries or Institutions or by Athens authentication. Just google 'dnb' and follow the links. Athens also gives access to Jstor and thence to a number of Scientific Journals. All useful stuff.

alternatively if you can't get access as a library member or Athens user then the index is freely accesible at:

Hi

We have just started writing a blog here at the Manchester Museum Herbarium. We have recently posted up some information that we have just discovered about Thomas Whitelegge that some of you may find interesting. I find that knowing about the collector's lives gives another dimension to the specimens.

As we are blogging novices please feel free to make any comments or give feedback on the blog.

Thanks

Suzanne Grieve
Assistant Curator of Botany
