SUMMARY:East End Environment Series: Roy Latham’s Unpublished Journals (1902-1978) with John Holzapfel
DESCRIPTION:Join SOFO for light refreshments and a presentation with John Holzapfel (Oysterponds Historical Society). \nLegendary naturalist and Orient native son Roy Latham spent decades examining the natural world of the East End\, amassing what’s thought to be the most extensive natural history collection ever assembled by one individual. In 2023\, Latham’s daughter Diana donated her father’s papers to OHS\, which include his Journals (1902-1978)\, field notes\, correspondence\, and more. John has transcribed and digitized much of the journal collection and will take us on a virtual tour of how the journals were acquired and preserved. SOFO is privileged to host a display of some of Roy Latham’s natural collections at the SOFO Museum for the month of March\, 2026: photos\, taxidermy specimens\, and other artifacts. After the lecture\, John will give a tour of the collection. \nCo-sponsored with Oysterponds Historical Society. \nThis FREE program is for adults. Advanced reservations are required for all events. \nPresenter: John Holzapfel\, Oysterponds Historical Society \n  \n Sign Up Here!\n
