Dudley Herbarium

The Dudley Herbarium was the plant collection of Stanford University' Natural History Museum and former Division of Systematic Biology of the Department of Biology.^[1] The collection was started by William Russell Dudley.^[2]^: 70–1 In the early 1960s, Stanford Provost Frederick E. Terman made a decision to terminate support for the Division of Systematic Biology.^[1] The collection was eventually transferred (by long-term loan), along with Stanford’s Natural History Museum fish collections, to the California Academy of Sciences in San Francisco.^[1] In 1976, the Dudley herbarium had 850,000-specimens, which were merged with the 600,000 specimens of the California Academy Herbarium, on completion of what was at the time a state-of-the-art facility to house the collections and staff, funded mostly by a grant from the National Science Foundation.^[1]
