The Afterlives of Animals: A Museum Menagerie

Acknowledgments

Acknowledgments Many people and institutions helped to bring this volume to fruition, and specific thanks can be found in the pages that follow. A number of organizations were generous with resources, staff time, and images, including Bristol City Museum and Art Gallery; the British Museum; Chetham’s Library, Manchester ; the Design Museum; Glasgow Museums; the Great North Museum: Hancock; the Hunterian Museum and Art Gallery, University of Glasgow; the Manchester Museum, University of Manchester; Marine Connection (www.marineconnection.org);NationalMuseumsScotland;theNaturalHistory Museum, London; the Wellcome Library, London; and the Yale Center for British Art. As editor, I could not have asked for a more dedicated, enthusiastic, and amazingly punctual group of contributors. Former colleagues and students at the Centre for Museology suffered my zoological enthusiasms with forbearance . Elsewhere, I have been especially aware of our debt to colleagues and friends including Ebony Andrews, Steve Baker, Fay Bound Alberti, Anna Bunney, Malcolm Chapman, David Craven, Roy Garner, Julie Harvey, Antonio Marcelo Herrera, Angie Hogan, Rebecca Machin, Henry McGhie, Susan McHugh, Steve McLean, Nick Merriman, Irit Narkiss, Adrian Norris , Michael Powell, Maggie Reilly, Liz Sandeman, Hanna Rose Shell, Mark Steadman, Phyllis Stoddart, Liv Emma Thorsen, Myna Trustrum, Clare Valentine, Mick Worboys, and Boyd Zenner. Some of these colleagues were present when the contributors met at the Manchester Museum in December 2009 to present and discuss their contributions. We are grateful to all those who participated in the workshop, which was generously supported by the Manchester Museum; the University of Manchester Centre for the History of Science, Technology and Medicine; and Renaissance North West. ...
