Where is the archive of the Walter Rothschild Zoological Museum, Tring, housed?
Much of the archive of the Walter Rothschild Zoological Museum, is now held at South Kensington alongside the main Museum Archives. It incorporates the correspondence of Walter Rothschild and his museum curators, Karl Jordan and Ernst Hartert, with various individuals from 1890 to c1955. The correspondence is currently being indexed, and is now available up to 1902. Other material relating to the ornithological department at Tring, such as accession registers, are still held in situ. Enquiries relating to this material should still be directed to the Archives in the first instance. Material relating to former Tring entomological and zoological collections has been transferred to South Kensington.
