BRIT Moving
The Botanical Research Institute of Texas (BRIT) is moving to new facilities on 1 June 2008. This will cause disruption to visitor services and access to the herbarium (BRIT-SMU-VDB collections) and library, so please contact us before arranging any visits between 15 April and 31 July 2008. We ask that loan requests, or shipment of any transactions to BRIT be delayed until August 2008. Our new address starting JUNE 1st will be: Botanical Research Institute of Texas, 500 E 4th Street, Fort Worth, TX 76102-4025. BRIT e-mail addresses and phone/fax numbers will not change. Thank you for your patience during this time. [Posted 11 April 2008]
