Donald and Louise Heyneman Natural History Donations



Donald and Louise Heyneman donated five 18th and 19th century natural history titles. One of the larger sets is Naturae, or The Naturalists' Miscellany, London, 1789, which includes hundreds of hand-colored plates throughout its 17 volumes. (Mr. Heyneman's mother, Amy Jo Wormser donated her large and very valuable collection of natural history titles to Special Collections in 1983.)
