Thing 10

This was interesting! I found a whole series of photos of a small exhibition I put together last year for the Whipple Museum, "all rights reserved". Just as well I took a photo of it myself when I installed it, I suppose. Checked out all the CD letters, but no new ones. Found a couple of images to download. Hmm, not bad - though I would be extremely wary of using images from this site, unless I was sure the photographer hadn't infringed permissions.

Thing 9

Flickr was interesting - I always like looking at good photographs. I searched on "Charles Darwin" and found a few interesting things, though no previously unknown letters even after 35 pages. Still, there was a page from CD's botanical specimen book about a rust disease in wheat in South America: John Stevens Henslow had used this when he published an article in \Gardener's Chronicle\ 28 Sep. 1844 p. 659, but Duncan Porter (\Bulletin of the British Museum of Natural History (hist. ser.)\ 14(2): 145-223) described it in 1986 as missing. Apparently the photo was taken at the New York Academy of Sciences. And there's a photo of Charles Lyell's \Principles of geology\ annotated by CD that apparently was photographed here. However, I don't know what cd be done to stop people taking photographs in the building, unless people had to go through the same procedures that they use at airports.
