Fourcade Collection Fourcade, Henry Georges Aerial surveying Dr Fourcade was meticulous and exacting, and this is very evident in his papers. He filed all incoming correspondence and made longhand copies of the many letters he wrote so that we have a satisfyingly complete picture of his life and work. The bulk of the papers in the bequest concern survey matters, his field notebooks, survey assignments and survey instrument designs, which include the stereogoniometer and stereoprojector. Botanical subjects are next in importance and include H.G.F.'s collecting notebooks, which are still used by botanists, and extensive correspondence with herbaria and botanists all over Southern Africa and the world. There are copies of survey and botanical publications by H.G.F. and other authors; articles and letters to the Press and photographs of himself, colleagues and friends as well as survey and botanical instruments and specimens.
