The Field Station Library is a relatively large and very unique collection of books focused on natural history, wetlands and aquatic ecology, plants and animals, cultural ecology, land-use planning, ecological engineering and other topics.
The Collection
The collected libraries of Hudsonia and Bard represent over 3000 books. Also in the collection are scientific periodicals in natural history, ecology, botany, zoology, and more. Many of these journals are not available electronically through any currently available scientific database. The library also includes files of reprinted scientific articles on areas that have been particular foci of research, conservation or educational activities such as regional and endangered turtles, the Hudson River, fresh-tidal wetlands, muskrat, Phragmites, purple loosestrife, water chestnut, and northeastern biota.
The library also maintains a unique collection of documents created by Hudsonia that are useful in the measurement and management of biodiversity. Many of these documents can be accessed through Hudsonia’s publications website and are included in our list of publications along with research published by our students, faculty, and research collaborators.
