Join the Curator of the University Herbarium, Dr Lauren Gardiner, on a virtual behind-the-scenes tour of one of Cambridge’s least known collections, a treasure trove of over a million preserved plant specimens collected from all over the world over more than 300 years.
A repository of biodiversity data, the Herbarium is one of the largest and most historically and scientifically important herbaria in the country and is of international significance.
Join Lauren as she works to make the collection more accessible for researchers and the public and see some of the highlights from the collection – including Darwin specimens, unpublished 19th century botanical artwork, and material from the early 18th century.
This event is part of the 2021 Cambridge Festival.
Please do register your interest to receive the Zoom Webinar link to join on the day, and to receive updates before and after the event.
The event will be recorded and available to watch afterwards too.
We would love to stay in contact with you after the Festival - we have lots of exciting developments and projects we hope to be able to share with you later this year - but if you don't want to hear from us anymore, you will of course be able to unsubscribe at any point.
