There was only one thing I could post for #ArchiveAnimals

#Archive30

For #ArchiveAnimals we have to share our favourite theatre story, when an alligator landed in the orchestra pit during Koringa’s variety show act at the Empire Theatre in 1947! Hats off to the pianist Arthur Love - we hope he was given a standing ovation! #Archive30

Instructions for today's #Archive30 from ARA Scotland are to 'release the #ArchiveAnimals '

Part of our refreshed 2024 display will look at the Dog Training Establishment, marking its 90th birthday this year. Its forerunners included the bloodhounds Burgho and Barnaby, loaned by Commissioner Charles Warren in 1888. #DogsOfTwitter #Archive30 #ArchiveAnimals #DogsOfX

A zoo archive is chock full of #ArchiveAnimals , but I especially love these unusual pieces:

When artist Joel Ito submitted these sketches for the zoo's new interpretive signs in 1978, he received quite a lot of... feedback. 😅

Everyone loves a photograph of some #ArchiveAnimals , so its hard to pick just one.

We're lucky to be based in a part of the world full of nature, which means plenty of #ArchiveAnimals in our collection. Take this example of peacocks pecking for seed at Gwydir Castle in the 1950s, observed by a girl in Welsh dress. #Archive30

There are plenty of #ArchiveAnimals in The Display of Heraldry (1610). But which one would you have on your coat of arms?

We have quite a few photographs of pets in the archives, but here's an unusual one: Tommy the owl, taken in 1895. He probably belonged to the Turnull family of Sandybrook Hall, Ashbourne .

#ArchiveAnimals are everywhere here in our archives...from squirrels on wax seals & watermark dogs to photographs of beloved family pets & of course lots of heraldic beasts! 🐕🐎🦁 ARA Scotland #Archive30 #Archives

We have lots of #ArchiveAnimals in our packaging collections to choose from for today's #Archive30

Many are cute and colourful! This little bird here was printed on CWS bird seed packaging, sold when keeping small birds as pets was widely popular.

These birds once proudly resided atop the gates to St Nicholas Rectory, which was taken down in the early 20th century #ArchiveAnimals #Archive30

A very picturesque photo of deer in Palacerigg Country Park for today's post.🦌

We have a lot of seals in our archive but this one - photographed on the Calf of Man by a daytripper - is definitely our favourite. #ArchiveAnimals #Archive30 #ManxArchives #IsleOfMan

Here is our founder Prince Frederick Duleep Singh on horseback with another officer & Norfolk Yeomanry soldiers. Horses, donkeys & mules played a major role in WWI, with an estimated 8 million killed. Anybody got any other images of animals in war?

Today's #Archive30 :
We thought we'd see how many times common native and non-native Australian #ArchiveAnimals are mentioned in COOEE. The top 10 mentions include cow, sheep and horse, but also kangaroo, emu and cockatoo. The full dataset is here: data.ldaca.edu.au/collection?id=…
