19th Century Science and Culture As we begin the journey of #FindingHoneyman, we start with a timeline of David Honeyman - the first Curator of the Nova Scotia Museum. This timeline provides an opportunity to discover links between between life events and historical contexts.
David Honeyman entered University of #StAndrews in 1834 studying languages, and then theology in #Glasgow and #Edinburgh from 1836-39. Honeyman's earlier schooling (1830) had been at School Wynd, 6 South Lindsay St, photo.
The Northern Warder, Feb 20, 1845, David Honeyman offering language lessons.
Later in 1845, he moved to 350 Perth Road, and then to 62 Murraygate. On April 3, 1846, Honeyman gave lectures at Watt Institution - about the Hebrew language.
Enjoyed the one-day symposium of the Geological Curators Group and the Society of Mineral Museum Professionals. Lots of interesting presentations and discussions. Thanks to all the organizers! #geologycurator #GCGSMMP22 #geoscience
Here’s a link to a pre-recorded version of my presentation “#FindingHoneyman and Uncovering Diversity in History of Geology in Nova Scotia”.
@SciConf Your work looks interesting. I have been working with William Knight in Ottawa - looking at Nova Scotia’s activity at the 1883 International #Fisheries Exhibition. During this #histsci research I located a previously unknown photograph of delegates attending a field excursion on the Thames.
