Beasts in your collections?!

Zeeuws Archief : Asian and African animals, 1770-1780. Cat.nr. HTAM-H-104.


What?!
"NO!", is our first response when people ask: Do you have beasts in your collections or depots? Of course not! We keep our depots very clean and take very good care of our heritage collections! No mice, no spiders, no flies, no rats, no silverfishes, no fleas, no bookworms, we don't give them any chance to creep in our collections and depots.

World fauna in our collections
That's what we think. But... we DO have lots of beasts in our collections and depots! Think of the huge seamonsters on oceanmaps, the very precise drawings of insects in fauna books, the sweet pictures of cats in albums amicorum, the loyal dogs at the feet of our rulers on paintings and sculptures. We have the entire fauna of the world in our collections!

World Animal Day, October 4th
On October 4th each year, we celebrate World Animal Day. Let's dive into our collections to search for colourful fishes. Let's make a safari tour through our depots to catch wild animals. Let's have a stroll through all the bookshelves to discover beautiful insects that hide there. Let's have a great flight through our storagerooms and catch up with some amazing birds. Make a silent tour at night to spot the very rare unicorn. And let's show all the animals we find in our depots and collections to the world on World Animal Day!

Twitter event #heritagebeasts
On October 4th, World Animal Day, Follow An Archive and Ask Archivists will organize a Twitter event: #heritagebeasts. We invite all heritage institutions to join us! So we ask the organizers of Follow A Museum, Follow A Library, Ask A Curator, Follow Heritage to join in and spread the word about #heritagebeasts to your followers!

Join #herigagebeasts at October 4th!
Of course all people are welcome to join the Twitter event #heritagebeasts on October 4th! Create a Twitter account and tweet the beasts in your favourite collection!

Let's have a beastly good World Animal Day on October 4th with the Twitter event #heritagebeasts!

    Where can I watch the Emmy Awards online?
    If you subscribe to a TV provider, you can log in and stream the show at NBC.com/live, or via the NBC app on pretty much any mobile device. The show will also be available on Hulu’s live TV service.
    Who is hosting?
    “Saturday Night Live” Weekend Update co-hosts Colin Jost and Michael Che. They say they won’t get too political.
    When is the red carpet so I can watch and judge all the fashion?
    As usual, E! has the most comprehensive red carpet show — Giuliana Rancic and Jason Kennedy will co-host and interview the celebrities, beginning at 6 p.m. Eastern.
    Which show has the most nominations?
    HBO’s “Game of Thrones” is shaping up to have a great night — it returned after a year of ineligibility with 22 nominations, the most of any series. It’s followed by NBC’s “Saturday Night Live” and HBO’s “Westworld,” with 21 each, and Hulu’s “The Handmaid’s Tale” with 20.
