2002 John Thackray Medal Society for the History of Natural History
THE JOHN THACKRAY MEDAL OF THE SOCIETY FOR
THE HISTORY OF NATURAL HISTORY The Council of the Society for the History of Natural History
established the John Thackray Medal in 2000 to commemorate the life and
work of its past president. The Medal is awarded annually for a significant
achievement in the previous year in the history of those areas of interest
to the Society, that is the biological and earth sciences in the broadest
sense. The medal can be awarded to an individual or a team, or to project
groups, institutions and organisations. A significant achievement may
be the completion of a major piece of work or research, or a publication
or exhibition, or the making available of collections or information in
new and novel ways.
Council have decided to make two awards of the Thackray Medal
for 2000, to Professor Amin Geus and Dr Karl Schulze-Hagen for their work
on the exhibition 'Joseph Wolf, Animal Painter' and the accompanying catalogue.
The next John Thackray Medal, to be presented at the Society's
General Meeting in April 2002, will be given for a significant achievement
during 2001. The Society's Council will be pleased to receive nominations
for this medal at any time. All nominations will be considered at the
first Council meeting in 2002 (held in January), so the closing date
for nominations is 31 December 2001.
