Historical Note
The Department of Botany at the University of Maryland has a long history, dating back over one hundred years to the founding of the Maryland Agricultural College (MAC). In 1856, the founders of the college established five schools or departments, including the Department of Natural Science. Classes in botany, chemistry, entomology, geology, physics, and practical farming were offered by this department when the college first opened in 1859. Townend Glover, the first Entomologist of the United States, was the first professor of botany at the college.
Throughout the history of MAC and the University of Maryland, various departments offered courses in botany. A general history, taken from course catalogs available from the period, lists the departments as:
| 1859-1874 | School of Natural Science | |
| 1875-1879 | Department of Agriculture, Architecture and Drawing | |
| 1880-1882? | Department of Agriculture and Natural History | |
| 1883-1887 | Department of Agriculture | |
| 1889-1892 | Department of Natural Science, which included a botany branch | |
| 1893-1894 | Botanical and Horticultural Department | |
| 1897-1898 | [Scientific Course] | |
| 1898-1899 | Department of Botany and Pathology | |
| 1899-1902 | Department of Botany and Plant Pathology | |
| 1903-1918 | Department of Botany and Vegetable Pathology | |
| 1918-1919 | Department of Economic Botany (within the School of Agriculture, Division of Plant Industry) | |
| 1919-1921 | Botanical Group (within School of Agriculture, Division of Plant Industry) | |
| 1921-1923 | Department of General Botany (within College of Arts and Sciences) | |
| 1923-1926 | Department of Botany (within College of Arts and Sciences) | |
| 1926-1974 | Department of Botany (within College of Agriculture) | |
| 1974-1987 | Department of Botany (within the Division of Agricultural and Life Sciences) | |
| 1987-1995 | Department of Botany (within College of Life Sciences) | |
| 1995-1999 | Department of Plant Biology (within College of Life Sciences) | |
| 1999- | Consolidated programs in Microbiology and Plant Biology into a single program, Cell Biology and Molecular Genetics |
The program in botany described in the 1899-1900 course catalog included six courses, five of which were mandatory, to be taken from freshman to senior year. By 1919, the Botanical Group offered courses in botany, plant morphology and mycology, plant physiology, and plant pathology. Thirteen courses, eleven undergraduate and two graduate, were offered in 1921. The curriculum focused on preparing students for careers as "teachers, investigators in state or government experiment stations, inspectors in the field, or for any other vocations which botanists follow."
The Department of Botany did not expand significantly until the 1936-1937 academic year when it enlarged its teaching staff and began to offer a greater number of courses in "three major lines of work: general botany and morphology, plant physiology, and plant pathology." Several years later, the scope of the curriculum was again expanded and described in the 1938-1939 course catalog as a
foundation for students who wish to pursue graduate work in botanical science in preparation for college teaching and for research in state experiment stations, in the United States Department of Agriculture, and in private research institutions and laboratories. Also to provide training for other vocations involving various botanical applications, such as extension work, and positions with seed companies, canning companies, companies making spray materials, and with other commercial concerns.
Over the years, the department increased the scope of courses offered in its three major fields of study to include cytology, cytogenetics and taxonomy, ecology, mycology, marine botany, nematology, virology, and phycology. In 1995, the Botany Department was renamed the Department of Plant Biology. In 1999, Microbiology and Plant Biology were consolidated into a single program, Cell Biology and Molecular Genetics.
Scope and Contents of the Collection
The records of the Department of Botany span the period 1898 to 1980. The collection includes research notebooks compiled by department staff and students, publications by faculty member J. B. S. Norton, lists of publications by other faculty members, news clippings related to the department and its faculty, and administrative files. The records also consist of correspondence, covering requests to and from the department for publications, identifications of plant samples sent in to the department, and correspondence with colleagues and former students, a number of whom were serving in World War II. The collection also contains photographs, negatives, and slides of faculty, students, and activities of the Department of Botany.
Custodial History and Acquisition Information
The records of the Department of Botany were originally transferred to the University of Maryland Libraries in October 1973. Dana Thomas donated another group of records in July 1992. The Department of Plant Biology transferred a third accretion of records in January 1997. James Reveal donated a fourth group of records in May 1998. One folder of research materials, "Notes - Tulipa Research - Botanical Description of Species and Varieties . . . ", by M. W. Woods (a student in the Department of Botany), was transferred to the Records of the Department of Botany (Series II, Box 6, Research Notes) from the Papers of James Reveal in January 2003.
Processing Information
Processed by: Sara Pfaffenbach and Michelle DeMartino, February 1997. Addenda incorporated and guide revised by: Jill F. Reilly, July 2002 and January 2003.
Processing of the records of the Department of Botany began in 1996. The personal papers of Dr. Ronald Bamford, former professor and head of the department, were removed and processed as a separate collection. Three blueprints of campus greenhouses were removed from Series IV, Administrative Subject Files, for oversize storage. Issues of the Botany Chronicle and other departmental publications were added to the University Publications collection. The photographs were sleeved in Mylar and placed in photo binders. A scrapbook was disassembled, photocopied, and placed in a photo binder, alternating photocopies and sleeved photographs. Oversized photographs, slides, and negatives are stored flat. Other oversized materials, such as charts, maps, and blueprints, were unfolded, separated from the collection, and placed in a map case. All materials were placed in acid-free folders and boxes, and duplicate materials and materials not relevant to the official functions of the department were discarded. Processing of the records was completed in February 1997, and the guide was written. The addenda to the collection were processed in July 2002, and the guide was revised to reflect the new materials, which comprised of research notebooks and notes, publications, photographs, slides, and a scrapbook.

Arrangement of Collection
The records of the Department of Botany have been divided into five series.
Detailed Description of the Collection
Series 1: Correspondence, 1898-1965 (3.50 linear feet)
The earliest correspondence in the series consists of eight letterpress books, dating from July 1898 to November 1904 and containing copies of outgoing correspondence of the state pathologist. There is one letter from the United States Department of Agriculture to Professor J. B. S. Norton of the Maryland Agricultural Experiment Station, dated July 3, 1917. Later correspondence, dating from 1937 to 1965, includes the incoming and outgoing correspondence of faculty and staff members, as well as incoming letters from former students of the department, a number of whom were serving in World War II.
