Description (What the record is about)
-
The series contains the series of hanging calendars published by the Museum during the 1920s and 1930s. Each consists of a single sheet of stiff card bearing an illustration and caption, information on opening hours, publications, recent acquisitions, expeditions in progress, and a list of senior staff. A monthly calendar for the year is stapled to the board. All of the calendars in the collection have been used and are missing most of these stapled sheets. Also included in the class are a number of single-sheet almanacs, bearing similar types of information, and a single printed Annual.
Series held at The Natural History Museum are catalogued more fully in its online catalogue (reference DF PUB/511). Online descriptions of some individual records can also be viewed on Discovery, see DF 511.
