Full description This project was established to document the involvement of the Australian Science Archives Project (ASAP) and subsequent organisations with the records of botanist and conservationist Professor John Turner. The records were listed by ASAP. This collection was transferred to the University of Melbourne Archives. During the 1994/95 financial year, ASAP received funding from the Feilman Foundation to undertake detailed Inventory-level description of the records of John Stewart Turner held by the University of Melbourne Archives. Turner was Professor of Botany and Plant Physiology at the School of Botany, the University of Melbourne (1938 to 1973), and was recognised for his leadership in the field of conservation. The project commenced in June 1996. The Turner records have been fully listed and described and the relevant contextual information about the records has been documented. A John Stewart Turner Guide to Records has been produced and is available online, providing researchers with wider access to information about Turner's records.
