Discovering Ledingham: uncovering the history within the George F. Ledingham Herbarium
The George F. Ledingham Herbarium is a little known gem housed at the University. In addition to specimens, the herbarium contains a wealth of historically valuable documents and images that provide unique insight into the creation of Grasslands National Park, and the early days of the University. This multidisciplinary project sees the Faculty of Science, History Department, and University Archives collaborating to provide students hands-on experiences to preserve and disseminate the Herbarium’s rich history.
