Hunt Institute for Botanical Documentation

The Hunt Institute for Botanical Documentation (HIBD), dedicated as the Rachel McMasters Miller Hunt Botanical Library in 1961, is a research division of Carnegie Mellon University.

[1][2][3] She donated a collection of botanical books to the University to create HIBD.

[8] HIBD is an institution of international bibliographical research in the fields of botany, horticulture, and plant science history.

HIBD is better known internationally than in the U.S.[9] It has a collection of botanical paintings (many of them watercolors), drawings, and prints dating from the Renaissance to contemporary works.

That exhibition coincides with the American Society of Botanical Artists educational conference in Pittsburgh.
