The scientific archives of Edmond Boissier

Edmond Boissier was one of the leading botanical lights of 19th-century Geneva. He left behind a scientific treasure trove, which we invite you to discover in the Botanical Conservatory and Garden.

The CJBG house the archives of Geneva’s great botanist, Edmond Boissier (1810-1885). This fund presents his scientific life as well as the Boissier Herbarium, which survived for several decades after his death.
