It was founded by Ing. Agr. Antonio Krapovickas and Dr. Carmen L. Cristóbal, husband and wife, who started the collection at over 250,000 specimens with the help of students whom they trained. Some of these students who now stand out professionally include: Aveliano Fernández, Camilo Quarín, Guillermo Norrmann, Silvia Ferrucci, and Viviana Solís-Neffa, among others.
