I am currently researching the Belfast-based arachnologist and commercial traveller, Thomas Workman (1843-1900). His correspondence and diaries etc are found in PRONI and his collection of (mainly) tropical spiders are in the National Museum of Ireland, Dublin. If anyone on the list knows of any other Workman-related material I would be delighted to hear about it. I am particularly interested in his travels to SE Asia in the 1880s and early 1890s. Please reply off list to [log in to unmask]
Many thanks!
