ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
Natural History Collections first web-pages
The first web-pages were created
in 1997 by Zoology Honours students to show the displays of
ungulate, rodent, carnivore and primate specimens they had
made for their Honours Projects.
These initial web-pages were created with the help of Martin Waterfall
who also converted Michael Begg's written accounts of the history
of the Collections into web-pages. These pages were maintained
by David Baird from 1990-2001.
Natural History Collections web-site and updates
The new web-site launched in October 2001 was created by Elizabeth
Baines. The site includes the original, up-dated,
web-pages and many new pages created in 2000 and 2001 by Zoology
Honours Students with help from David Baird and Elizabeth Baines.
The final pages, illustrating the exhibits in the Aubrey Manning Gallery, were compiled by Richard Matthews (web-page designer), Bernard Matthews (photography) and Patricia Preston (text) in 2006. The site was updated in August 2004 and January 2007 by James Matthews.
