<p class=MsoNormal>Lloyd Library and Museum and American Society of
Pharmacognosy (ASP) Announce the Agreement for the Transfer of ASP Archives to the
Lloyd Library and Museum, Historical Research Center for the Natural Health
Movement<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>American Society of Pharmacognosy leaders and the Lloyd
Library and Museum, under the leadership of Director, Maggie Heran, recently
finalized an agreement to transfer the archives of the ASP to the Lloyd
Library, to make the Lloyd Library the permanent site for deposit of Society
materials, and also to encourage ASP members to deposit their personal papers
at the Lloyd Library. The Library already holds the papers of Varro “Tip”
Tyler and Norman R. Farnsworth, both well-known pharmacognosists and founding
members of the ASP. The Library is also the repository for noted
pharmaceutical chemist George Rieveschl, Jr., the inventor of Benadryl.
In addition to books, papers and photographs, the Library collects related
historical artifacts, from old pharmaceutical bottles, especially those of the
Lloyd Brothers, Pharmacists, Inc., microscopes and chemical scales and larger
items such as the recently acquired large Soxhlet extractor, an important tool
in the extraction of Taxol courtesy of the efforts of Nick Oberlies from
Research Triangle Institute.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>The American Society of Pharmacognosy was formed in 1959 as
an outgrowth of the Plant Science Seminars, with Tip Tyler serving as the
organization’s first president. Its goal was to create a forum for the
exchange of ideas and research advances among pharmacognosists, a goal which it
continues to fulfill fifty years later. Archival materials are slated for
transfer to the Lloyd Library in the upcoming year, as part of the ASP 50th
anniversary celebration. Other activities of the ASP in connection with
the anniversary include publication of a book, “The American Society of
Pharmacognosy. 50 Years of Progress in Natural Products Research, 1959-2009,”
and the annual meeting of the society in Honolulu, Hawaii in June of this year.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>This agreement presents an opportunity for all current and
former members of ASP who may be holding historical materials to forward them
to the Lloyd Library for inclusion in the ASP archival holdings. The
Lloyd Library archival staff will sort and order all materials, making a
finding aid available online, for researcher use around the world.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>The Lloyd Library and its Historical Research Center for the
Natural Health Movement, launched in 2008, seeks to collect historical
materials – books, journals, and archival materials – that document the growth
and changes within the natural health movement, including the development of
drugs from natural sources.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>In general, the Library holds, acquires, preserves, and
provides access to both 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. Lloyd's resources
are in fact an eclectic blend of a host of related sciences. Despite the
scientific focus, the collections have relevance to the humanities, such as
visual arts and foreign languages through resources that feature botanical illustrations,
original artworks, and travel literature. The collection consists of over
200,000 volumes, with the earliest volume dating from 1493 to the most current
published research in the fields of natural medicine, botany, and
pharmacy. The Lloyd is open to the public—we invite you to explore this
unique establishment.<o:p></o:p></p>
