@History_of_Geology And here's my son, just last Thursday, reading in the William Smith Reading Room in the #YorkshireMuseum (York, UK).

The walls explain Smith's career and include a print of his Yorkshire sheet.

The portrait on the left is John Philips - nephew of Smith, he founded the Yorkshire Museum, along with being a geologist, publisher, and major figures in the BAAS in its early days.

So today we visited the #YorkshireMuseum - mainly for the history. My son is big into history & we don't get many Romans in Texas!

The museum is England's 2nd purpose built museum & was founded by John Philips, nephew of William Smith (of geo. map fame), geologist, major figure with BAAS etc.

This is the reading room where the displays are about Smith's maps.

On entering, my son picked up a book, went to the first seat and made himself comfortable. I think this would have made Philips proud.

@miriamkp I'm hoping that #PublicDomainReview heads over to Mastodon soon. Their site is perhaps my second favourite on the web after #Wikipedia.

We did an article on #volcano hunter Tempest Anderson back in 2015 as part of a #Wikipedian in residence project with #WikimediaUK.

The lantern slides are part of the #YorkshireMuseum collection and were digitised on site and at the #JohnRylandsLibrary in Manchester.
