The Society for the History of Natural History (SHNH), in association with the British Ornithologists’ Club, is organizing a meeting in Liverpool on June 14-15, 2018. The meeting, called “Bon Voyage? 250 years exploring the natural world“, will focus on the lives, encounters, contributions and legacies of many of those involved in the history of natural history exploration around the world, from land to sea – the risks they took, the discoveries made, their contributions to science, and the ingenuity and endeavour involved in the process. It will also examine some of the complexities and controversies surrounding many centuries of natural history exploration and discovery. For more information, click here.
