On January 16, 2014, we began the survey in some
institutions of Genève, Switzerland, looking for works and documents related to Jacques
Huber. The first institution visited was the Conservatoire et Jardin Botaniques de la Ville de Genève (CJB), which preserves an impressive Herbarium (G), besides
the Library and Archives.
We thank to Dr. Fred Stauffer, Curator in charge of the monocotyledon collection, and to M. Nicolas Fumeaux, for their warm reception. We also thank to M. Patrick Perret, Conservateur of the Library; to M. Pierre Boillat, Head Librarian; to M. Patrick Bungener, Archivist; and to Mme. Paola Emery, Librarian, for their support and kindness.
