Legendary naturalist and Orient native son Roy Latham spent decades examining the natural world of the East End, amassing what’s thought to be the most extensive natural history collection ever assembled by one individual. In 2023, Latham’s daughter Diana donated her father’s papers to OHS, which include his Journal (1902-1978), correspondence, field notes, and more.
