Wallace 100
Here in the Museum of Natural History’s archives, we proudly house over 300 of Alfred Russel Wallace’s documents. Letters, notes and postcards written by the great naturalist himself. Here you can see Sir David Attenborough holding one of his favourites.
Over the past two years, all of the Wallace paper items in our collection have been scanned, transcribed and uploaded to Wallace Letters Online, a worldwide documentation project that’s part of the Wallace 100 celebrations. But the most remarkable thing is that all this work was done by one woman!
Annette Lord has been a volunteer at the Museum for 3 years and has helped with many family friendly activities, but one day she popped up to the Entomology Department to ask about Wallace’s letters. Her curiosity was piqued and she soon set to work on the enormous task of making them accessible to Wallace fans across the world.

Caryl Beach uses photography, video, painting and printmaking to capture everyday experiences in the landscape, evolving into a visual diary and reflective journey. Her video piece made for ‘Herford Layers’ won best video at Eastern Approaches, 2012.
“Through my research of Wallace I have developed a close affinity with his early years spent in Hertford where he too walked possibly the same pathways and rivers edges and visited the sites of Old Mills. His love and fascination of nature are a passion I share. The works I have developed for this project reflect my journeys and observations and, I hope, capture the essence of Wallace’s own passion and enquiring mind.”
I have also produced a short video for Wallace 100 titled ‘the simple act of walking’

The Open Studios were great and thank you to everyone that came along. Some interesting discussions and feedback from visitors and artists. Well worth the effort and time we all spent there over the last two weekends.
Last Day Sunday 22nd
I became a fellow at one of the Digswell Arts Trust sites in June this year. I finally have a studio space where the plan is to work on some of the ideas that I’ve been storing away in my sketchbooks over the years.
This weekend is Open Studios where the Studios are open to the public from 11-4.
Drop by if you get a chance and say ‘hi’.
