Examples of digitization projects in the history of science are understood to have lasting consequences for the intellectual history of their fields (Petersen, 2005; Roes 2001). Following this trend, herbarium collections around the world are beginning to be digitized with positive results for their institutions (Begnoche, 2002; Ong, 2002). Librarians, with their long history of making collections accessible, are participating in this trend (Foster, 2005). The University of Wyoming Libraries encourage Librarians to develop and maintain collections in a variety of subjects, and the Libraries are pursuing opportunities in digital collections. This project expands the University of Wyoming Libraries work in the digitizing of a unique collection of plant specimens.

Intellectual Context

This paper aims to present the exemplarity of an intellectual meeting between a French intellectual, trained in history and geography at the Sorbonne, France (before spending time in Spain during the beginning of his doctorate), and the “Brazilian terrain”. From his training to his work as a university professor in Brazil, what I want to characterize is a transnational intellectual context in the domain of the history of science, using geographical reasoning as a reference. However, before becoming aware of these intellectual processes, it should be said that at the base of this context lies the Brazilian space. This kind of reasoning as a proposed methodology is named here the geohistory of knowledge. In this paper, I seek to present this methodology and its theoretical and empirical results, focusing on how the construction of contextualization can be related to space.

During summer 2010, the University of Wyoming American Studies Program conducted an intensive cultural landscape survey and historical analysis of the Elk Ranch in Grand Teton National Park. Led by Research Scientist Mary Humstone, students documented the ranch landscape and remaining buildings. They conducted research in local archives to uncover the history of the ranch and determine its significance in the history of Jackson Hole and Grand Teton National Park. The team determined that the property is eligible for the National Register of Historic Places, with significance in agriculture and conservation.

During summer, 2005, the University of Wyoming American Studies Program conducted an intensive cultural landscape survey and analysis at the AMK Ranch. Research Scientist Mary Humstone, working with graduate assistant Sarah Schill, documented the historic buildings and landscape features that tell the history of the Sargents Bay peninsula. The team updated the existing National Register of Historic Places nomination to include detailed building and landscape descriptions and a comprehensive history. The following report is excerpted from the National Register nomination.

In August 2004 a field party from the University of Wyoming consisting of one faculty member, two graduate students, and one undergraduate student spent two weeks mapping the basement gneisses in the area around Moose Basin. During this project we mapped an area on the pass between Moose Basin and Camp Lake (which is just west of Grand Teton National Park) in detail, made detailed traverses along the head of the cirque for about 3 km southeast of the Park boundary, and collected 44 samples for petrology (Figure 1).

<p>Much of the focus of digital collections has been and continues to be on rare and unique materials, including monographs.   A monograph may be made even rarer and more valuable by virtue of hand written marginalia.   Using technology to enhance scans of unique books and make previously unreadable marginalia readable increases the value of a digital object to researchers.  This article describes a case study of enhancing the marginalia in a rare book by Copernicus.</p>

I. Academic life. By R. Robson II. Contributions to science and learning. By Walter F. Cannon [Plates 19 TO 22] I. Academic life By R. Robson Fellow oj Trinity College, Cambridge A S the centenary of his death approaches there are signs that the oblivion which overcame Whewell so soon after it is being dispelled. The increasing concern of scholars with the history and philosophy of science has naturally led some of them to an interest in one of their distinguished predecessors, and those who study the history of science in Whewell’s lifetime have sometimes seen him at the centre of what Dr Cannon has called a ‘network’ of Cambridge scientists. Some day these men may loom as large in the intellectual history of nineteenth-century England as Oxford theologians do now, and it may not be too bold to claim that in the academic history of the period the Master of Trinity should command equal attention with the Master of Balliol. But to how many of those acquainted with Jowett’s career is even the name of Whewell familiar? Whewell’s benefactions to Trinity and to Cambridge have, of course, kept his name at least in memory there, but he was widely known outside the University in his lifetime and has claims on the interest of those outside it even now. In the second part of this article Dr Cannon will discuss Whewell’s intellectual achievement. By way of introduction a brief account will now be given of Whewell’s academic career. Whewell came up to Trinity in 1812 as a sub-sizar, ‘a tall, ungainly youth, with grey worsted stockings and country made shoes’.

During summer 2009, the University of Wyoming American Studies Program conducted an intensive historic building and landscape survey of the Jenny Lake Lodge in Grand Teton National Park (Figure 1). The oldest of Grand Teton Lodge Company’s visitor accommodations, Jenny Lake Lodge has a long and varied history that spans the period from early 20th century dude ranching to contemporary automobile tourism, and that is closely entwined with the history of Grand Teton National Park itself.

Editorial note. March 17th, 1971 was the fiftieth anniversary of the opening by Marie Stopes of her birth control clinic in Holloway, London, the first of its kind in the UK and possibly in the world. In recognition of this notable event, the Board of the Marie Stopes Memorial Foundation, in conjunction with the University of York, has established a Marie Stopes Memorial Lecture to be given annually for a term of years. The first of the series was delivered on 12th March in the Department of Sociology, University of York, by Mr Laurie Taylor of that department. In introducing the speaker, Dr G. C. L. Bertram, the Chairman, emphasized the great contribution made by Marie Stopes to human welfare and gave a brief history of the clinic, which was soon moved to Whitfield Street. On Marie Stopes' death in 1958 the Memorial Foundation was set up to manage the clinic, still in Whitfield Street, and as a working monument to a great women.Mr Taylor's script is printed below as delivered and it will be seen that the lecture was a notable one. Not only that, but it was delivered with the verve of a Shakespearean actor and the members of the large and appreciative audience will not readily forget the occasion.
