History of the Finger Lakes Chapter of the Guild of Natural Science Illustrators

The Guild of Natural Science Illustrators (GNSI) was created in 1968 as a way to network among the illustrators of the Smithsonian Museum in Washington, DC. In 2003, out of this long and fruitful Guild collaboration, the Finger Lakes chapter was created.
