Dear Everyone
Our new Archives catalogue has been two years in the making and is now ready for launch today 22 March.
Initially begun by Sarah Broadhurst, our former Archivist, and continued by Natasha Wakely who became Archivist in 2021, as Sarah says “I'm really glad to see it to come to fruition”. This is a great achievement for ZSL Library and Archives ahead of ZSL’s 200th anniversary, and will open up the collections to anyone interested in the history of ZSL. As we approach the anniversary, the catalogue will continue to be enhanced and developed.
The special archive website developed with Max Communications includes a ‘News’ page where we will post updates about the Archives, blog posts and information about upcoming events. ‘About the Archives’ provides a general overview of ZSL’s Archives collections. ‘Explore Archive Topics’ provides information about famous ZSL animals, people and architecture. ‘How to search’ includes handy tips for searching the catalogue. Finally there is a link to ‘Search the Archive’, delve into the history of ZSL and the zoos it owns: ZSL London and ZSL Whipsnade Zoo.
