Archives of Natural History: The Archives of Natural History (formerly the "Journal of the Society for the Bibliography of Natural History") is a peer-reviewed academic journal and the official journal of the Society for the History of Natural History.  It publishes papers on the history and bibliography of natural history in its broadest sense, and in all periods and all cultures.  This includes botany, geology, palaeontology and zoology, the lives of naturalists, their publications, correspondence and collections, and the institutions and societies to which they belong.

Elizabeth F. Fisher: Elizabeth Florette Fisher (November 26, 1873 – April 25, 1941) was one of the first field geologists in the United States.  Born in Boston, Massachusetts, she attended and later taught at Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT).  She was also the first woman to be sent out by an oil company for a survey, helping to locate oil wells in North-Central Texas during a nationwide oil shortage.  During this same time, she not only continued her career as an instructor at Wellesley College, but also wrote an influential textbook for junior high students called "Resources and Industries of the United States".  She stressed the need for conservation, and believed "unclaimed" land should be used for agriculture.  She was a fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science and the American Geographical Society, and also was a member of the Appalachian Mountain Club and the Boston Society of Natural History.  She died in 1941 from illness.

Natural history: Natural history is the research and study of organisms including animals, fungi and plants in their environment, leaning more towards observational than experimental methods of study.  A person who studies natural history is known as a naturalist or natural historian.  Natural history encompasses scientific research but is not limited to it, with articles nowadays more often published in science magazines than in academic journals.  Grouped among the natural sciences, natural history is the systematic study of any category of natural objects or organisms.  That is a very broad designation in a world filled with many narrowly focused disciplines.  So while natural history dates historically from studies in the ancient Greco-Roman world and the mediaeval Arabic world, through to European Renaissance naturalists working in near isolation, today's field is more of a cross discipline umbrella of many specialty sciences.  For example, geobiology has a strong multi-disciplinary nature combining scientists and scientific knowledge of many specialty sciences.
