Harvard Botanical Museum Leaflets!
« on: December 16, 2010, 05:52:17 PM »
Here's a website that contains the entire series of Harvard Botanical Museum Leaflets available for download as .pdf files: http://www.botanicus.org/item/31753003541189

These have always been elusive to track down.  Schultes published 90% of his really good papers in this periodical series, and there's some real landmark gems in there from Wasson and Hofmann as well.  No municipal library system would have them, so it necessitates a trip to the local University library... and in my experience, University libraries seem to always keep them in storage, so it takes a couple days for them to retrieve it for your perusal. A big headache all-around.

I recommend you check them out. There's some real good classic articles in there.

Wasson has articles in volumes 19, 20, 23, and 26

Hofmann has an excellent article in volume 20 detailing the chemistry of ololiuqui (Turbina corymbosa) to accompany Wasson's ethnographic report on the seeds in the same volume.

Schultes has articles in a whole load of volumes, but the really crunchy articles are in volumes 4 (peyotl), 5 (peyotl), 7 (truly landmark, first english language article firmly establishing the Mexican entheogen teonanacatl as a Basidiomycete), 16, 18, 22, 23, and 28.

ENJOY!!!
