His father had a small grove, but also worked at Lake Garfield Citrus Cooperative as a night watchman and repaired their wooden field crates before moving up the ladder to become the General Manager.  Jim grew up with his younger brother Charles, working in his family's groves hoeing, feeding livestock, pruning trees – whatever needed to be done – a trait he would carry with him throughout his life.","He attended a wooden three-room schoolhouse in Alturas through six grades, moving on to Bartow High School for two years before going to the Summerlin Institute – where he graduated in 1953. He was a Sentinel in the FFA, as well as a member of the Parliamentarian and Judging Teams, and participated in the first Polk County Youth Fair, where he placed with a dairy animal. After graduation, he attended a National Guard summer camp, which prompted him to join the army in September of that year. He served in the United States Army with the 7th Infantry Division from 1953-56 in Korea, replacing those who were on the front lines and preparing their remains for shipment back to the United States.","He finished his tour of duty and returned home in 1956, where he met and married his wife of almost 60 years, Shirley, who he met through her father, a Baptist preacher in Alturas.  He worked for a year with the Plant Board on the burrowing nematode project, digging up roots and putting them in a jar for testing.  His crew leader was a graduate of Florida Southern College and it didn't take Jim long to realize that an education meant better wages, so he signed up for Florida Southern College on the GI Bill majoring in citrus. While there, he was president of the Citrus Club and received the Florida Citrus Mutual Award for Outstanding Achievement in the field of citrus studies, graduating in 1960 with a degree in citrus.  While attending school, Jim worked part-time in groves for whoever would hire him, earning a reputation as a personable hard worker who knew his way around a grove.","Shortly before Jim's graduation, Bob Rutledge, the general manager of Florida Citrus Mutual, was driving through town, saw Jim, and yelled out the car window for Jim to stop by and see him.  Jim did, and Rutledge hired him on the spot as the Florida Citrus Mutual field man for Polk County under Dale Carlton. He worked there for five years during the early stages of FCM– hosting steak dinners and signing up growers as members of the organization.","In 1965, his father and Uncle Joe needed him as a shipping clerk for Lake Garfield Citrus Cooperative and, after a brief stint selling chemicals to growers, he moved up the ladder to General Manager, making him the third Ellis man to work in that position for Lake Garfield Citrus Cooperative.","As general manager, Jim learned to \"think outside the box,\" always experimenting with ways to do things better but – more importantly – sharing his successes with other industry members.  In 1979, he gave a presentation to the Florida State Horticultural Society which was printed in the February 1980 issue of Citrus Industry Magazine titled \"Innovations for Citrus Packinghouses.\"  The article showcased a number of unique ideas including: mechanical gathering of leaves and other trash in pallet boxes that are dumped with a homemade forklift attachment; controlled recycling of hot air to reduce dryer fuel costs; a \"magnetic broom\" on forklift trucks in the receiving yard to gather nails and junk metal that otherwise ruin tires; and electric photocells that detected a fruit pile-up in the cannery bins and shut off the necessary equipment. He introduced the first electronic sorter to the state of Florida and experimented with cutting and scoring grapefruit, applying a sweetener and shrink wrapping them to market as a breakfast item. In addition, he was among the early experimenters using different forms of automated fruit harvesting equipment such as cherry pickers to shake seedling trees and abscission chemicals, which were only good when conditions were ideal.","When the freezes shut down the packinghouse in the late '80s, Jim went to work at Orange-Co as the production manager for Polk County, going back to chemical sales when they shut down.  However, his broad knowledge of the growers and the industry made him an ideal candidate for running the Citrus License \u0026 Bonds, Division of Fruits \u0026 Vegetables, for the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services.  His attention to detail and love for the industry helped him watch out for the growers' interest in numerous fruit-buying situations.","Jim has served on numerous boards, including stints as president for the Polk County Farm Bureau, Florida Citrus Showcase and the Interior Seald-Sweet Shippers, Inc. He was a member of the Citrus Research and Education Foundation, the Polk County Extension Overall Advisory Council, the Florida Farm Bureau and a 25-year member of the Kiwanis Club.","His main love, however, is history and talking about history.  Jim always has a story to tell if you have the time to listen, and – if you don't – you should make time, because he's a great storyteller!!!  His recollections of the early days of the industry are an invaluable asset to the Florida Citrus Hall of Fame's Oral History Project, and he is constantly finding old artifacts to add to the archival collections – along with the information on how they were utilized. He continues to run the \"No Names\" Club, which is strictly for \"old-timers,\" and sets up the meetings and programs each month.","However, Jim is probably best known for not only his passion for the citrus industry and its history, but his citrus crate label collection.  He has one of the largest collections of Florida citrus crate labels in the world, which is the nucleus for the Florida Citrus Label Digital Collection at Florida Southern College.  He and fellow label collector, Jerry Chicone, brought label-collecting to the forefront in the early '60s and '70s, when people were throwing out and burning old labels to make room in the packinghouses for the cardboard fruit boxes which had taken the place of the wooden shipping crates.  His collection, along with that of Chicone's, has been used in three books on citrus labels, and has even been featured in the décor of a restaurant recently opened in Sarasota!","However, the newest development based on Jim's collection is the Polk County Citrus Label Driving Tour, which is a collaboration between the Florida Citrus Hall of Fame, Visit Central Florida and The Polk County History and Heritage Trail to stimulate interest in the history and citrus legacy of all the communities throughout Polk County. This flagship program currently includes almost 20 installations with enlarged reproductions of the vintage labels located on various buildings and sites throughout the county. The accompanying map provides background information on each label displayed, presenting the connection between that community and the citrus industry and the long-term goal is to eventually take the concept statewide and help showcase the importance of the citrus industry to the state of Florida.","He has been an avid speaker about both citrus labels and the industry in general, helping educate everyone from school children to senior citizens on the Florida citrus industry.  He was also a key component in creating the partnership in 2008 between the Florida Citrus Hall of Fame and his beloved alma mater, Florida Southern College.  He attended the initial meetings between Dr. Anne Kerr, Rob Tate and the Hall of Fame, helping to smooth the way for the move to FSC and raise the necessary funding.  Funding that not only led to a physical presence on campus, but a website and fellowship endowments that have led to an engaged learning program with FSC students focused on preserving the heritage of the Florida citrus industry.  Current digital collections include over 1,500 Florida citrus labels, 350 industry postcards and 500 photographs, as well as oral history interviews and Hall of Fame member biographies.","Jim has led a distinguished career for decades in the Florida citrus industry as a grower, packer, industry representative and historian. His love of the industry and his willingness to share his knowledge has made him an invaluable resource to whoever asks him for help or information.  Dr. Calvin Arnold summed it up nicely: \"Jim really gives to the industry from his heart, with no expectation of personal gain – his passion IS the citrus industry.\"\nBiographical Information found via Florida Citrus Hall of Fame website.","This collection contains various artifacts relating to citrus history.  The bulk of the collection is made of citrus labeling, ranging from collected crate labels to can labels, correspondence on label collecting, and even a crate label stamp.  It also contains information on inspections on citrus and vegetable groves, including inspector manuals and records.  Finiancial and business records are also contained in this collection.","This collection is owned by Florida Southern College and is protected by copyright and/or related rights.

In 1979, he gave a presentation to the Florida State Horticultural Society which was printed in the February 1980 issue of Citrus Industry Magazine titled \"Innovations for Citrus Packinghouses.\"  The article showcased a number of unique ideas including: mechanical gathering of leaves and other trash in pallet boxes that are dumped with a homemade forklift attachment; controlled recycling of hot air to reduce dryer fuel costs; a \"magnetic broom\" on forklift trucks in the receiving yard to gather nails and junk metal that otherwise ruin tires; and electric photocells that detected a fruit pile-up in the cannery bins and shut off the necessary equipment. He introduced the first electronic sorter to the state of Florida and experimented with cutting and scoring grapefruit, applying a sweetener and shrink wrapping them to market as a breakfast item. In addition, he was among the early experimenters using different forms of automated fruit harvesting equipment such as cherry pickers to shake seedling trees and abscission chemicals, which were only good when conditions were ideal.","When the freezes shut down the packinghouse in the late '80s, Jim went to work at Orange-Co as the production manager for Polk County, going back to chemical sales when they shut down.  However, his broad knowledge of the growers and the industry made him an ideal candidate for running the Citrus License \u0026 Bonds, Division of Fruits \u0026 Vegetables, for the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services.  His attention to detail and love for the industry helped him watch out for the growers' interest in numerous fruit-buying situations.","Jim has served on numerous boards, including stints as president for the Polk County Farm Bureau, Florida Citrus Showcase and the Interior Seald-Sweet Shippers, Inc. He was a member of the Citrus Research and Education Foundation, the Polk County Extension Overall Advisory Council, the Florida Farm Bureau and a 25-year member of the Kiwanis Club.","His main love, however, is history and talking about history.  Jim always has a story to tell if you have the time to listen, and – if you don't – you should make time, because he's a great storyteller!!!  His recollections of the early days of the industry are an invaluable asset to the Florida Citrus Hall of Fame's Oral History Project, and he is constantly finding old artifacts to add to the archival collections – along with the information on how they were utilized. He continues to run the \"No Names\" Club, which is strictly for \"old-timers,\" and sets up the meetings and programs each month.","However, Jim is probably best known for not only his passion for the citrus industry and its history, but his citrus crate label collection.  He has one of the largest collections of Florida citrus crate labels in the world, which is the nucleus for the Florida Citrus Label Digital Collection at Florida Southern College.  He and fellow label collector, Jerry Chicone, brought label-collecting to the forefront in the early '60s and '70s, when people were throwing out and burning old labels to make room in the packinghouses for the cardboard fruit boxes which had taken the place of the wooden shipping crates.  His collection, along with that of Chicone's, has been used in three books on citrus labels, and has even been featured in the décor of a restaurant recently opened in Sarasota!","However, the newest development based on Jim's collection is the Polk County Citrus Label Driving Tour, which is a collaboration between the Florida Citrus Hall of Fame, Visit Central Florida and The Polk County History and Heritage Trail to stimulate interest in the history and citrus legacy of all the communities throughout Polk County. This flagship program currently includes almost 20 installations with enlarged reproductions of the vintage labels located on various buildings and sites throughout the county. The accompanying map provides background information on each label displayed, presenting the connection between that community and the citrus industry and the long-term goal is to eventually take the concept statewide and help showcase the importance of the citrus industry to the state of Florida.","He has been an avid speaker about both citrus labels and the industry in general, helping educate everyone from school children to senior citizens on the Florida citrus industry.  He was also a key component in creating the partnership in 2008 between the Florida Citrus Hall of Fame and his beloved alma mater, Florida Southern College.  He attended the initial meetings between Dr. Anne Kerr, Rob Tate and the Hall of Fame, helping to smooth the way for the move to FSC and raise the necessary funding.  Funding that not only led to a physical presence on campus, but a website and fellowship endowments that have led to an engaged learning program with FSC students focused on preserving the heritage of the Florida citrus industry.  Current digital collections include over 1,500 Florida citrus labels, 350 industry postcards and 500 photographs, as well as oral history interviews and Hall of Fame member biographies.","Jim has led a distinguished career for decades in the Florida citrus industry as a grower, packer, industry representative and historian. His love of the industry and his willingness to share his knowledge has made him an invaluable resource to whoever asks him for help or information.  Dr. Calvin Arnold summed it up nicely: \"Jim really gives to the industry from his heart, with no expectation of personal gain – his passion IS the citrus industry.\"\nBiographical Information found via Florida Citrus Hall of Fame website."],"scopecontent_html_tesm":["\u003cp\u003eThis collection contains various artifacts relating to citrus history.

Each took advantage of what the other had to offer. Bromeliad history tells us that Christopher Columbus sailed the ocean blue and bumped into a new world. With his boat filled with goodies from the tropics, Columbus sailed the ocean again and managed to bump into his homeland, Spain. His Queen sent him back to the new world, and on his return trip he took a vicious looking plant with long, spiny leaves and a luscious sweet fruit growing from the center of the leaves. Christopher brought his Queen a pineapple. The first bromeliad to leave the new world.","Other adventures and explorers followed and returned to their homeland with wonders never seen before. Some of the wonders were tropical plants and many of them became known as bromeliads. Thus, the Bromeliacea family was described; and slowly over the years, its popularity invaded the United States. Bromeliad Society began in 1948 when Mr. Joseph Schneider of San Gabrial, California asked the organizer of Round Robins for the Flower Grower if she could get a group together who were interested in bromeliads. She placed a call for members of her Round Robin which brought an immediate response from Miss Victoria Padilla and Mrs. Sue Hutchinson who were soon followed by seven others, and they in turn brought four more. This group formed a Round Robin, exchanging their experiences with bromeliads by correspondence with one another for approximately two years.

The Bromeliad Society has sponsored and funded many exceptional improvements to the future of bromeliads, and strives to ever improve the knowledge and appreciation of bromeliads for its members and the general public.","List of past Bromeliad World Conferences:","\n1972 Houston, Texas - First acknowledged Bromeliad Conference","\n1975 25th Anniversary Celebration, Buena Park, California","\n1977 New Orleans, Louisiana","\n1980 Orlando, Florida - 30th Birthday celebration","\n1982 Corpus Christi, Texas - \"Bromeliaceae Ole\"","\n1984 Los Angeles, California - \"Bromelympics\"","\n1986 New Orleans, Louisiana - \"One Mo' Time\"","\n1988 Miami, Florida - \"Miami Magic\"","\n1990 Houston, Texas - Bromeliads in Space\"","\n1992 Tampa, Florida - \"Bromeliad Safari\"","\n1994 San Diego, California - \"Bromeliads in Paradise\"","\n1996 Orlando, Florida - \"Orlandiana '96\"","\n1998 Houston, Texas - \"Bromeliad Roundup\"","\n2000 San Francisco, California - \"50th Birthday Celebration\"","\n2002 St. Petersburg, Florida - \"Bromeliad Beach Party\"","\n2004 Chicago, Illinois","\n2006 San Diego, California - \"Bromeliads on the Border\"","\n2008 Cairns, Australia - \"Bromeliads Down Under\"","\n2010 New Orleans, Louisiana - \"Bromeliads in the Big Easy\"","2012 Orlando, Florida - \"Orlandiana '12\"","\n2014 Honolulu, Hawaii - \"Bromeliads in Paradise\"","\n2018 San Diego, California - \"Fiesta de las Bromelias\""],"prefercite_html_tesm":["\u003cp\u003eBromeliad Society International Archive, Special Collections and University Archives, University of Central Florida, Orlando, Florida.\u003c/p\u003e"],"prefercite_tesim":["Bromeliad Society International Archive, Special Collections and University Archives, University of Central Florida, Orlando, Florida."],"processinfo_html_tesm":["\u003cp\u003eCollection processed by Suphi Burak Ogreten; finding aid prepared by Suphi Burak Ogreten.

While his Father was in the navy, George's family lived at Pearl Harbor, and he witnessed the 1941 attack. George himself served in the navy for more than three years as a weather forecaster; for part of the time he was on the USS Bairoko. After graduating from the University of California, Los Angeles with a degree in meteorology in 1955, George Millay worked for a stockbroking firm until 1960. He married Anne Real in 1963; they eventually had three sons and a daughter.","\nIn 1958, Millay opened the Reef restaurant in Los Angeles with David Tallichet. He planned to create a submarine bar there so that customers could view sea creatures while enjoying cocktails. The plan failed because the water in the harbor was too cloudy. However, his interest in marine life introduced him to Dr. Kenneth Norris, curator at Marineland. Together with Milton Shedd and David DeMott, they organized the Marine Park Corporation to create a marine park in San Diego. Sea World opened in 1964 and expanded in 1970 with a park in Ohio followed by the Orlando park in 1972. Sea World Inc. opened an amusement park in Valencia California on 29th May 1971 in partnership with Newhall Land and Farming. Officially named \"Magic Mountain\", the park was designated \"Tragic Mountain\" by a reporter who was injured there. Sea World did not make a profit on the venture and sold out to its partner late in 1971. Millay resigned from Sea World Inc in 1974 because of a disagreement with his partners over how the company should develop.","\nGeorge Millay had spent a lot of time at Sea World in Orlando, and he thought that families would enjoy water activities as a break from the Florida heat. He pulled together ideas from a water playground at the Toronto World's Fair, a flume near Sacramento and a wave pool in Alabama, added a children's playgound, restrooms, gift shop and snack bar to create a new concept. He formed the Leisure Marine Corporation to develop his idea. Initially, the company ran the Seven Seas park in Arlington, TX, for a season, but the venture did not develop further. Wet 'n Wild eventually became a reality in Orlando, where it opened in 1977. The company took over the failing Seven Seas park and redeveloped it into the second Wet 'n Wild in 1983 followed by Las Vegas in 1985. Additional sites opened in Garland, TX, Brazil and Mexico. Wet 'n Wild was named the Best of Aquatics for 2003 by Aquatics International magazine.","\nMillay retired from Wet 'n Wild in 1998, but he continued to work on new projects. He designed and patented a system for moving visitors down into the center of a circular aquarium so that everyone had a good view of the fish. Millay partnered with William Watts and David Powell in creating a company named Sea Venture to sell the system. At the time of his death in 2006, no examples of the system had been sold.","\nGeorge Millay received Lifetime Achievement Awards from the International Association of Amusement Parks and Attractions and the Themed Entertainment Association, and he was named the Father of the Waterpark Industry by the World Waterpark Association. Tim O'Brien wrote Millay's biography entitled The Wave Maker in 2004.","Collection processed by Judith Beale; finding aid prepared by Judith Beale.

Spencer was born in Orlando and grew up in Winter Garden, Florida. He worked at Sand Hill Nursery near Lake Avalon and the Land of Bromeliads in Gotha before finding employment with Julian Nally. After the Nally estate was sold, Spencer worked for Racine Foster at Bromel-La. He graduated from UCF in 1990 summa cum laude with a BA in Liberal Studies and then found employment with Lyman B. Smith at the Smithsonian Museum of Natural History. Michael Spencer named a genus of bromeliads \"Racinaea\" in honor of Racine Foster. While engaged in his research, Spencer amassed this collection of materials concerning bromeliads and their collectors. He now lives in Frederick, Maryland where he has served on the Historic Preservation Commission since 2004.","Materials were rehoused in pH neutral folders and cartons. Photographs, negatives and slides were enclosed in polyester sleeves. Many of the materials were well organized and the arrangement was retained. The remainder were arranged by following the original arrangement as far as possible. Notes on folders were retained in the new folder. Paper clips were replaced with plastic clips or materials that belonged together were held together in a pH neutral paper sleeve. Loose-leaf notebooks that were badly rusted were discarded and the contents placed in folders. Items loose in the back of notebooks were foldered separately and marked accordingly. Notes from a film canister were written exactly as found as the label could not be removed. Albums falling apart were taken apart and foldered. Albums in reasonable condition had the photographs attached properly with corners and the pages interleaved to prevent sticking. Loose album pages in the Foster subseries on Plant Information were merely foldered as they were not in an album and were found without context.

While his Father was in the navy, George's family lived at Pearl Harbor, and he witnessed the 1941 attack. George himself served in the navy for more than three years as a weather forecaster; for part of the time he was on the USS Bairoko. After graduating from the University of California, Los Angeles with a degree in meteorology in 1955, George Millay worked for a stockbroking firm until 1960. He married Anne Real in 1963; they eventually had three sons and a daughter.","\nIn 1958, Millay opened the Reef restaurant in Los Angeles with David Tallichet. He planned to create a submarine bar there so that customers could view sea creatures while enjoying cocktails. The plan failed because the water in the harbor was too cloudy. However, his interest in marine life introduced him to Dr. Kenneth Norris, curator at Marineland. Together with Milton Shedd and David DeMott, they organized the Marine Park Corporation to create a marine park in San Diego. Sea World opened in 1964 and expanded in 1970 with a park in Ohio followed by the Orlando park in 1972. Sea World Inc. opened an amusement park in Valencia California on 29th May 1971 in partnership with Newhall Land and Farming. Officially named \"Magic Mountain\", the park was designated \"Tragic Mountain\" by a reporter who was injured there. Sea World did not make a profit on the venture and sold out to its partner late in 1971. Millay resigned from Sea World Inc in 1974 because of a disagreement with his partners over how the company should develop.","\nGeorge Millay had spent a lot of time at Sea World in Orlando, and he thought that families would enjoy water activities as a break from the Florida heat. He pulled together ideas from a water playground at the Toronto World's Fair, a flume near Sacramento and a wave pool in Alabama, added a children's playgound, restrooms, gift shop and snack bar to create a new concept. He formed the Leisure Marine Corporation to develop his idea. Initially, the company ran the Seven Seas park in Arlington, TX, for a season, but the venture did not develop further. Wet 'n Wild eventually became a reality in Orlando, where it opened in 1977. The company took over the failing Seven Seas park and redeveloped it into the second Wet 'n Wild in 1983 followed by Las Vegas in 1985. Additional sites opened in Garland, TX, Brazil and Mexico.

United States, 1962-2012 ","Robert Hugh Brown grew up in Miami, Florida. He developed a fascination for roadside attractions while touring the state of Florida extensively. In the 1990s, Brown created \"Florida's Lost Tourist Attractions,\" or Lostparks.com, a website dedicated to documenting the many attractions that sprang up and later fell by the wayside following the opening of Walt Disney World. Of his work on the website, Brown writes, \"Tourist attractions have a way of springing up on the Florida roadside... only to wither and die when they just can't quite sustain the magic. You will find no historical marker to mark their passing, no footnote in the history book, only the occasional exotic plant, or shopping center, or oddly named road.\" His research for the website led him to collect thousands of brochures, postcards, flyers, and other ephemera detailing Florida tourism.  ","In 1997, Brown created a travel website for The Mining Company (later known as About.com or Dotdash), a digital media company, writing about theme parks around the world and the amusement park industry. As a result, he also collected materials from attractions located across the United States, the United Kingdom, and Germany. Brown worked as an actor in film, television, and theater productions. He was a cast member of Second Thought Improv and On the Edge Improvisational Theatre. As of 2024, Brown is retired and currently resides in Ocoee, Florida. ","Processed by and finding aid prepared by Sofia Arias in 2024. Additional processing by Simone DeLuque in 2025.","Other materials related to theme parks and the tourism industry can be found in the  Disney Ephemera collection , the  George and Anne Millay collection , and the  Al Turner, Splash Magazine collection .","The Robert H. Brown Tourism Collection, 1900-2013 (bulk 1970-2010), documents tourism in and around Florida during the twentieth century. It chiefly consists of postcards, brochures, and guidebooks relating to the tourism and theme park industries, as well as press kits and other promotional materials. This collection provides insight into the marketing and promotion of tourist attractions in and around Florida. Many of the attractions documented are no longer in existence or are in decline after the opening of the Walt Disney World Resort in 1971, offering a glimpse at the tourist landscape of Florida prior to and immediately after the resort's domination of Central Florida tourism. ","Series I: Florida, 1900-2013, contains postcards, brochures, flyers, presskits, visitor's guides, maps, and other tourist papers related to theme parks and attractions in the state of Florida. Subseries 1 chiefly contains postcards organized alphabetically by city location, then by subject. Subseries 2 contains postcards from established tourist attractions, arranged alphabetically in boxes and binder sleeves as they were originally received. Subseries 3 contains vertical files of various Florida attractions in original order. Subseries 4 contains brochures and presskits, arranged alphabetically. This series does not contain material for the Walt Disney World resort, which can be found in Series II.","Series II: United States, 1962-2012, contains collected postcards, brochures, and tourist papers related to theme parks and attractions outside of the state of Florida. Subseries 1 contains vertical files of various American attractions in original order. Subseries 2 and 3 are arranged by like item, then alphabetically.

Spencer was born in Orlando and grew up in Winter Garden, Florida. He worked at Sand Hill Nursery near Lake Avalon and the Land of Bromeliads in Gotha before finding employment with Julian Nally. After the Nally estate was sold, Spencer worked for Racine Foster at Bromel-La. He graduated from UCF in 1990 summa cum laude with a BA in Liberal Studies and then found employment with Lyman B. Smith at the Smithsonian Museum of Natural History. Michael Spencer named a genus of bromeliads \"Racinaea\" in honor of Racine Foster. While engaged in his research, Spencer amassed this collection of materials concerning bromeliads and their collectors. He now lives in Frederick, Maryland where he has served on the Historic Preservation Commission since 2004.","Materials were rehoused in pH neutral folders and cartons. Photographs, negatives and slides were enclosed in polyester sleeves. Many of the materials were well organized and the arrangement was retained. The remainder were arranged by following the original arrangement as far as possible. Notes on folders were retained in the new folder. Paper clips were replaced with plastic clips or materials that belonged together were held together in a pH neutral paper sleeve. Loose-leaf notebooks that were badly rusted were discarded and the contents placed in folders. Items loose in the back of notebooks were foldered separately and marked accordingly. Notes from a film canister were written exactly as found as the label could not be removed. Albums falling apart were taken apart and foldered. Albums in reasonable condition had the photographs attached properly with corners and the pages interleaved to prevent sticking. Loose album pages in the Foster subseries on Plant Information were merely foldered as they were not in an album and were found without context. Collecion rehoused and finding aid revised by Chynna Thomas in 2023.","A large book collection accompanies this collection and may be accessed by performing a series search \"Michael A.

Correspondence, publications, notebooks, drawings, research materials, memorabilia and photographs show all aspects of their work including plant collecting, landscape designing and publishing. Photographs may be black and white or color prints, negatives or slides. Additional materials about the Fosters may be found in Series II and III.","\nSeries II: Subject Files, 1880-2003 contains catalogues, journals, photographs, memorabilia and correspondence that Michael Spencer brought together under his chosen subject headings and arranged alphabetically. Many of the materials in this series originally came from Mulford and Racine Foster, which means that there is some overlap with the previous series. Spencer's own collecting interest lay in documenting the importance of bromeliads in society, and he collected many common items that showed bromeliads, especially pineapples.","\nSeries III: Author Files, 1754-1997 includes a variety of media used for research, such as articles, books, magazines, newspaper clippings, and photographs. There are a significant number of materials authored by Mulford and Racine Foster and Lyman B. Smith, including original manuscripts.","\nSeries IV: Plants by Family Files, 1908-1990 contains alphabetical files on plant families, which include newspaper clippings, books and other research materials.","\nSeries V: Natural History Files, 1853-1997 holds alphabetical files on a wide range of natural history topics including plant societies, authors, drugs and diseases. The files contain published materials, photocopies, web resources, plant and geological samples that document's Michael's Spencer's considerable research interests.","\nSeries VI: Medicinal Files, 1988-1996 contains alphabetical files on diseases and therapies. Not all these files relate to plants though many of them concern natural therapies.","\nSeries VII: Lyman Smith Files: 1905-1994 holds alphabetical files that belonged to Lyman B. Smith. His notebooks, manscripts, teaching materials and correspondence may all be found here.","\nSeries VIII: Personal Files, 1863-2014 contains alphabetical files showing Spencer's interest in collecting books and his wide interests.
