Members of this list may be interested to learn that the Society for the History of Natural History has a new website, located at http://www.shnh.org. The SHNH is the only international society devoted to the history of botany, zoology and geology, in the broadest sense, including natural history collections, exploration, art and bibliography. The Society is based in London but has active international representatives in the Americas, Asia and Europe, and holds meetings all over the world. It produces a prestigious journal entitled Archives of Natural History and an informative Newsletter, as well as occasional publications. The Society makes annual awards for merit in the study of the history of natural history. Membership is open to all and a flexible system allows for individual, joint and associate categories. Subscriptions to Archives of natural history are welcomed from libraries and other institutions. ************************** Dr. Jon Topham AHRB Research Fellow Science in the Nineteenth-century Periodical (SciPer) Project Division of History and Philosophy of Science, University of Leeds & Centre for Nineteenth-century Studies, University of Sheffield http://www.sciper.leeds.ac.uk/ Division of History and Philosophy of Science School of Philosophy University of Leeds Leeds LS2 9JT Tel: +44 (0)113 233 3383 (Leeds) Fax: +44 (0)113 233 3265 (Leeds) http://www.philosophy.leeds.ac.uk/JRT
