Manuscript natural history notes from May 1800 in Cambridge by Revett Sheppard (1779–1830), with notes on locations, including the wonderful ‘With Cooper to Paradise’.

The presence of Cambs records in this notebook appears to have gone unnoticed until now and we are looking forward to making connections with people to find out more about them. @camglamresearch.bsky.social #HistNatHist 3/3

The Pasqueflowers in my garden have been and gone before Easter this year, but I enjoyed finding out about the history of the Cambridgeshire flowers for this blogpost:

Please get in touch if you have a #HistNatHist book proposal.

This was such a great workshop! The future of #HistNatHist #provenance of #HistNat #collections #museums is bright. Very sorry though to say goodbye to @coloniallegacy.bsky.social The great work that was done by its entire staff will live on and keep inspiring us.

Fab job! #HistNatHist

I hate #AprilFools . Institutions have the most marvellous ideas & then they abandon them again on 2nd April. Fools.
