Library of Trevor James (1947-2020) Collection
Trevor James was a Hertfordshire naturalist involved in biological recording at county and national level. His landmark achievements are two exceptional books: Flora of Hertfordshire (2009) and Beetles of Hertfordshire (2018). The former, which covers almost 2,000 species then recorded, raised the bar for information and standards of presentation in a county-level publication. His book on beetles is unique in the UK and provides information on all 2,483 beetle species recorded in the county at the time of publication. His wide interest in natural history is represented in his library.
