- catalog description "George Russell Shaw (1848-1937), a native of Parkman, Maine was a 1869 graduate of Harvard University. He studied architecture and became an associate of the Hunnewell family of Wellesley, Massachusetts. Shaw & Hunnewell Architects designed several projects including Pierce Hall at Harvard University and the Eye & Ear Infirmary in Boston. At age 50 he began studying pines using the Arnold Arboretum as his headquarters. This avocation became his principal occupation. Shaw traveled to Cuba, Mexico, and Europe to view pines in their native habitat and to collect specimens, as well as to study in libraries and herbaria. Shaw's two major publications were The Pines of Mexico, 1909, and Genus Pinus, 1914. He was a significant contributor to the Arnold Arboretum. He financed the fire proofing of the Hunnewell Building attic (now the Arnold Arboretum Living Collections area) and the laying of a wood floor in the area. He organized an extensive conifer exhibit mounting specimens and providing glass cases for their display to the public in what became known as the conifer room. Shaw's conifer collection is now housed at the Harvard University Herbaria in Cambridge.".
