from 4-7pm the Lloyd Library and Museum kicks off a new endeavor in its long
tradition of collecting, maintaining, preserving, and making accessible historic
and current books and journals, as well as archival materials, on a wide variety
of disciplines that fall under the subjects of natural history, botany,
pharmacy, and medicine—an endeavor critically needed to balance and enhance the
documentation of medicinal botany—the creation of the Historical Research Center
for the Natural Health Movement.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">
</SPAN>This initiative will position the Lloyd to become the central repository
for the archives and personal papers of those involved in both scientific and
grass roots efforts to bring natural health into the
mainstream.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>
<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt; TEXT-INDENT: 0.5in"><SPAN
style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Courier New'">The March 1st event will
feature speakers Rosemary Gladstar, herbalist, author, and instructor,
presenting “A History of Late 20th Century Herbal Pioneers;” A. Douglas
Kinghorn, Jack L. Beal Professor and Chair in Natural Products Chemistry and
Pharmacognosy, College of Pharmacy, The Ohio State University, presenting “The
Development of Pharmacognosy in 20th Century United States;” Mark
Blumenthal,Founder and Executive Director, American Botanical Council,
presenting “The Importance of Documenting the History of the Natural Health
Movement;” and Anna K. Heran, Archivist, Lloyd Library and Museum presenting “A
Case in Point: The Varro “Tip” Tyler Papers.”<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Other activities include the formal
opening of Tip Tyler’s papers for research, an exhibit from the Tyler Papers,
Lynn Carden’s art exhibit “It Began at the Lloyd: An Artist’s Journey,” and a
catered reception.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>
<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt; TEXT-INDENT: 0.5in"><SPAN
style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Courier New'">The Lloyd Library is
prepared and equipped to offer its facilities and services to house, maintain,
preserve, organize, and make accessible in one location this crucial body of
knowledge for the scholars of today and tomorrow who will be investigating the
natural health movement.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Not only
does the library have a professional archivist on staff with more than ten years
experience, but it is also in the process of developing a space plan to
accommodate new archival collections.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">
</SPAN>New collections will be added to the library’s existing archival
collections, covering names and institutions in the fields of pharmacognosy,
herbalism, chemistry, and pharmacy.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">
</SPAN>They will join already existing collections such as those of John Uri
Lloyd; Lloyd Brothers, Pharmacists, Inc.; Varro E. Tyler; George Hocking; Alex
Berman; Stephen Buhner; Susun Weed; Clarence Meyer (author of Herbalist
Almanac); the Eclectic Medical Institute of Cincinnati; John Milton Scudder; and
Robert F. Raffauf, among many others.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>
<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt; TEXT-INDENT: 0.5in"><SPAN
style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Courier New'">The Lloyd’s new initiative
is significant in that currently there is no other known institutional endeavor
to collect such materials as widely as the Lloyd Library will with the
establishment of this research center.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">
</SPAN>The Lloyd is seeking cooperation from all participants in the natural
health movement to help establish a centralized location for the study of the
ongoing development of medicinal botany and other alternative healing
practices.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>This center will assist
researchers by reducing the amount of travel needed to complete their studies,
as well as provide an indispensible contextual environment complete with a vast
collection of current and historical works, both published and
unpublished.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>
<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt; TEXT-INDENT: 0.5in"><SPAN
style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Courier New'">In addition, the library is
the optimum site for this project because in many respects, the Lloyd already is

add archival collections to its many other significant resources will enhance
its goal of comprehensive documentation in the fields of naturopathic healing
and alternative medicine.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>In
addition, this project continues and honors the legacy of founder John Uri
Lloyd, who was relentless in his investigation and advocacy of medicinal
botany.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>He and his brothers not
only built the library, but also provided for its future, because they
understood the critical need to acquire historic and current resources and
preserve them for posterity.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>The
establishment of this research center underscores their commitment and embodies
their belief that the past is the path to the future.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>
