Redpath Legacy

The archival document that you see is part of the 1880 board of governors minutes and details the establishment of the Redpath Museum by Peter Redpath.

With Redpath's donation the University planned to "maintain in perpetuity a place of deposit and study of specimens in Geology, Mineralogy, Paleontology, Botany and Archaeology."
