A  message  from Dr. Donald Kerr, F.L.S.
Special Collections Librarian
University of Otago, Dunedin, New Zealand

In late 2007 and early 2008, Special Collections had an exhibition called “Retrospective: A Look Back at the Last 21 Exhibitions”, which was that - a glance back at all the exhibitions (four per year) mounted in the de Beer Gallery since the completion of the new Central University Library in early 2002.

Events and other happenings meant we did not get around to making this exhibition live until today. Through the efforts of Merrin Brewster, our Web Developer, you can now revisit on-line all those exhibitions up to early 2008. A link is provided to each. And haven’t we done well? From Grand Tour travel, architectural ruins, and garden history through to the marvellous Monro medical books, poet laureates and Linnaeus.
