Colloque
Du 2 au 4 mars 2021
The Collection contains 772 volumes of unique archival and rare printed material which provides evidence of the plants and plant products, botanists, commercial interests, and gardeners, moving across an expanding web of botanic gardens and agricultural and forestry stations.
It holds huge potential for both historical and scientific research, including imperial history, the use of plants by indigenous communities, medicine, nutrition and health, the environment, as well as anthropology, ethnography, and agricultural history.
It is also a crucial source of evidence for critically examining and confronting Kew’s own history and colonial role.
In this three-day online conference, discover the Miscellaneous Reports through talks by researchers who have used this archive in their own research, including keynote talks given by Professor Richard Drayton and Professor Vinita Damodaran.
Discover the central themes of botany, trade and empire, and explore the collection’s challenges, from revealing the unheard voices of the past, to realising the future potential of this colonial archive.
