Darwin Exhibition in the Library



Thursday 12th February marked the 200th anniversary of the birth of Charles Darwin.
To celebrate the occasion, a new exhibition is now available for viewing in the Boole Library:
The Charles Darwin Bicentennial: UCC Celebrates Natural History and the Victorian Scholar
Location: Exhibition Area Boole Library.
The exhibition displays rare and influential works from UCC Library’s Special Collections, by Darwin and those who influenced him. The books are enhanced by specimens from UCC’s Zoology and Geology Museums.
Highlights include:
- A rare first edition of Origin of Species, along with a wide range of Darwin first editions, including Descent of Man.
- Specimens from UCC’s Zoology Museum, including two actually collected by Charles Darwin himself in Patagonia, South America, during the H.M.S. Beagle voyage, under the command of Captain Robert Fitz Roy (1831-1836). - Specimens from the Geology Museum that illustrate the fossil record, including a complete Ichthyosaur, over 250 million years old, and the transitional fossil Archaeopteryx, also known as “first bird”. - Beautifully illustrated works including a full set of the original volumes of The Zoology of the voyage of H.M.S. Beagle, under the command of Captain Fitzroy, R.N., during the years 1832 to 1836 with John Gould’s famous bird descriptions.

The exhibition will run until the end of March, so I do hope you get a chance to drop in sometime.
With thanks to Siobhan Bowman, Special Collections
