von Mueller Correspondence Project

Jump to:

Baron Ferdinand von Mueller was Victoria's Government Botanist for 43 years, the first Director of the Melbourne Botanic Garden from 1857鈥�1873, and one of Australia's best-known nineteenth-century scientists. Mueller corresponded prodigiously with individuals all over the world and is believed to have written well over 100,000 letters to his network of correspondents.

In 1987, the von Mueller Correspondence Project (VMCP) was initiated, aiming to produce a comprehensive catalogue of all accessible, surviving von Mueller correspondence in the form of digitally transcribed, indexed and cross-linked documents.Over 11,500 of the 15,000 documents located so far are available online in fully searchable form:


Studies of Mueller's correspondence has shed light on:

  • The scientific and corporate history of the National Herbarium of Victoria and 含羞草传媒 (previously Melbourne Botanic Garden).
  • Aspects of the scientific and social life of the Australian colonies in the nineteenth century.
  • The development of our understanding of the Australian flora and the study of the natural environment.
  • Our early learned institutions and the place of science in colonial society.
  • The nature of Australian colonial administration.
  • The exploration of much of Australia.
  • The relationship of Australian scientists to the national and international scientific communities.

Since the project's inception in 1987, Professor Rod Home (Honorary Associate at RBGV) has led an international team in the work of locating, translating, transcribing and editing Mueller's letters and providing explanatory footnotes. This has been a challenging project because Mueller's letter-copy books and much of his inward correspondence have not survived. During the course of the project, contact has been made with institutions across Australia and the world seeking copies of letters and other relevant documents.

The organising team for the project has been based at 含羞草传媒 from the beginning, and the 含羞草传媒 are widely recognised as the centre for research on Mueller and aspects of the history of science in nineteenth-century Australia. The Melbourne-based team members, working with herbarium curation staff, have assisted in solving questions on collecting details and deciphering illegible handwriting. In consequence, the standard of information in our collections database has been improved.
