Edward Bruce Williamson was a noted entomologist and botanist in the early part of the 20th century. He spent most of his career as an amateur, but active and well-respected, scholar of odonata (dragon and damselflies) and served as the curator of odonata for the University of Michigan Museum of Zoology from 1916 to his retirement in 1933. He also owned and maintained the Longfield Iris Farm in Bluffton, Indiana where he propagated award-winning irises. The collection includes correspondence, drawing, field notes and reports from his collecting trips, and photographs.

Established as an independent unit in 1913, the origins of the Museum of Zoology date to 1837 when a natural history collection was authorized. During a trip around the world in the 1870s, Joseph Beal Steere amassed a large collection of zoological specimens. Zoology moved into the University Museum's building in 1928.
