After being listed as OUT OF PRINT and unavailable for many years, the IAS acquired the nearly 400 copies found in three wooden footlockers in a Department of Forestry storage building in southern Indiana. Published by the now extinct Indiana Department of Conservation, the books are in their original brown wrapping paper.
Winona Welch, a native of northwestern Indiana (Jasper County), was at DePauw University, first as a student and then on the faculty for 38 years. After retiring as an instructor, she continued as curator of the now defunct Yuncker Herbarium for nearly two decades. Bryology was her specialty. She published numerous articles on the subject in the Proceedings of the Indiana Academy of Science and later served as President of the Academy.
