Staten Island Institute of Arts and Sciences, 1883-1979

This series contains correspondence from the Staten Island Institute of Arts and Sciences transmitting a container list of materials held by them pertaining to the “Flora of Staten Island “ by Hollick and Britton and material pertinent to the flora of Staten Island by other NYBG faculty members. Also in this series are Arbor Day addresses delivered by Hollick in Staten Island, and material written while he was Curator-in-Chief at the Staten Island Museum. Reports by him on oil refineries near Kill Von Kull and the sewage system invented by George E. Waring and installed on Staten Island are reminders of his 10 years with the Sanitation Department of New York City. A photograph of N.L. Britton and Hollick “Botanizing on Staten Island” is located in Series 10: Photographs. Hollick’s field notes dating from 1896 have been removed and are located in the Field Notebook Collection.
