George H. Carpenter. 1895. “On Collections to Illustrate the Evolution and Geographical Distribution of Animals,” pp. 106-142, with transcript of discussion at meeting, pp. 142-144, in E. Howarth and H. M. Platnauer (eds.). 1895. Museums Association. Report of Proceedings With the Papers Read at the Fifth Annual General Meeting, Held in Dublin, June 26 to 29, 1894 (Sheffield and York: Museums Association).
Carpenter’s essay is cited regularly as “1894,” which was the date of delivery at the Museums Association meeting in Dublin. The date of publication was 1895.
Why Carpenter?
I’m working on a project associated with the natural history exhibits at the Horniman Museum. George H. Carpenter was Assistant Naturalist, Science and Art Museum, Dublin. His 1894 talk at the Museums Association is cited by staff at Horniman Museum as influential, and exhibit design at the Horniman was influenced by the work Carpenter did in Dublin.
