>
> The Missouri Botanical Garden's new research building, which will
> house the
> library and the vascular plant collection, is scheduled for completion
> 1
> November 1997. As a result of this new construction and the impending
> move
> of the herbarium to the new facility, it will be necessary to suspend
> access
> to the collection beginning 20 October 1997 and lasting until
> approximately
> 5 January 1998. Only the vascular plant collection will be affected by
> this
> move. During this time, the herbarium will be unavailable to visitors,
> nor
> will loans be pulled and sent. At the same time, we would ask any
> corresponding institutions that they do not send loans, gifts for
> identification or exchange to the Garden during this period. Anyone
> contemplating travel to the Garden to work in the herbarium should
> reschedule their visit for later in 1998.
>
> We sincerely regret any inconvenience this move may create for members
> of
> the botanical research community. However, the new facilities and
> expanded
> storage areas will greatly improve access to the collection. We will
> make
> every effort to open the collection to full use as soon as possible.
> Further announcements to this affect will be posted on TAXACOM when
> more
> information is available.

> Additional inquiries may be sent to the Herbarium, Missouri Botanical
> Garden, P.O. Box 299, St. Louis, Missouri 63166, U.S.A.
