Fosberg - Collection and field note book no. 5, April 21, 1934 – September 3, 1938, 11000-15799

How does an island ecosystem work? The corps of scientists with the 1934 Mangarevan Expedition explored the Mangareva and Tuamoto Islands in the South Pacific. Botanist F. Raymond Fosberg (1908-1993) kept a record of his observations and the collections on the trip and afterwards. It is clear from the index in the front of Field Note Book No. 5 that his travels covered many other islands as well during that four year period. Join with us and other volunteers to transcribe Fosberg's field notes to make his findings more accessible to researchers and scientists!
