Mike, Let me give you a little tour of some important digital library sites.
First, for ANY library holdings anywhere in the world, always start with WorldCat (www.worldcat.org). This is the digital cumulative union catalog of libraries worldwide developed over the last almost 40 years (could it really be that long? <gasp>). This not only gives correct bibliographic data on almost everything (over 90 million bibliographic citations representing, I think by now in the trillions of actual volumes) but location information (by country and US zip code). Here is the WorlCat citation for the Botanical Museum leaflets: http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/1751823. When looking for free (legal) materials digitized by libraries, put "open access" into your search string: http://www.biodiversitylibrary.org/NowOnlineDetails.aspx I think this citation is is worth looking at for its own sake just to see what's newly digitized by the Open Content Alliance. Looks like the first six volumes have been scanned so far: http://pds.lib.harvard.edu/pds/view/5704653?n=669 Table of contents are here: http://www.huh.harvard.edu/publications/botanicalmuseumleaflets.htm No competent librarian anywhere in the world should not be able to not only verify and correct the citation as needed, but also be able to locate the materials and tell you how to get them in your location. I'm wondering who you asked, but maybe I shouldn't ask. As for my own library, unfortunately I can't tell you for sure if we have them or not because I'm at home and my predecessors never put our serials holdings online (one of the topics of our library committee meeting yesterday and probably part of my own job security is changing this unacceptable situation!). Given what I have learned about the collection in my short tenure there so far (started 1/1), I'm quite confident that we do (it's not all in my head yet). If you need assistance finding the issues you need, let me know.
