Processes of adapting complex information for broad audiences became a pressing concern by the turn of the twentieth century. Channels of communication ranged from public lectures to printed books designed to serve a social class eager for self-improvement.

The Huxleys: An Intimate History of Evolution
Empire and the Theology of Nature in the Cambridge Botanic Garden, 1760–1825
Founded in 1760, the Cambridge Botanic Garden was designed to serve the theological interests of the university by developing a collection of living plants from across the globe.

Publishing Nature in the Age of Revolutions: Joseph Banks, Georg Forster, and the Plants of the Pacific
The construction and distribution of books containing large copperplate images was of great importance to practitioners of natural history during the eighteenth century. This article examines the case of the botanist and president of the Royal Society Sir Joseph Banks (1743–1820), who attempted to publish a series of images based on the botanical illustrations produced by Georg Forster (1754–94) on Cook's second voyage of exploration (1772–5) dur…
From the South Seas to Soho Square: Joseph Banks's Library, collection and Kingdom of natural history

Banks's librarians and their assistants used a range of paper technologies …

Specimens, slips and systems: Daniel Solander and the classification of nature at the world's first public museum, 1753–1768
The British Museum, based in Montague House, Bloomsbury, opened its doors on 15 January 1759, as the world's first state-owned public museum. The Museum's collection mostly originated from Sir Hans Sloane (1660–1753), whose vast holdings were purchased by Parliament shortly after his death. The largest component of this collection was objects of natural history, including a herbarium made up of 265 bound volumes, many of which were classified acc…

A Research Film Program in the Study of Changing Man [and Comments and Replies]
In dealing with human culture, researchers must often work with phenomena to which they cannot return because the passage of time irrevocably changes their makeup and because ethical and human considerations make it impossible to manipulate their subject in the laboratory under experimental conditions. Many believe that the loss of such information about the development and responses of man in many now disappearing diverse environmental and cultu…
