TEMPE - March 13, 2020 - ASU Now - Distinctive Collections - Celina Osuna, a doctoral candidate in desert and environmental literature, looks through one of the Doris and Marc Patten Collection of Herbals and Early Gardening Books, The Anatomy of Plants, housed in the Rare Books and Manuscripts section of the Distinctive Collections in ASU's Hayden Library, Friday, March 13, 2020. The book, obtained by the ASU Library in 1993, is an accumulation of herbals and early gardening works, ranging in date from 1485-1935, describing plant medicinal uses and characteristics and gardening techniques. Retired rare books librarian and former head Special Collections Marilyn Wurzburger acquired the work during her 48-year tenure. She retired in 2009 and is making a $1 million endowment to the ASU Library to advance archival research materials. The gift establishes the Wurzburger Reading Room. Photo by Charlie Leight/ASU Now
