Linking to this month’s Photo Friday nautical theme, we thought we’d highlight a special item in our archives collection.

Here you can see images from two pressed seaweed albums we hold. These delicate volumes are housed, alongside other wonderful manuscripts, in our archives.

Nature, art, geography and more can be found in our collection - you can see our archives register on our website or via the link in our bio.

We have recently welcomed a new intern to the Photo Archive. Sam, a History PhD student from the University of Exeter, has joined us for three months and is helping the team with updating and researching the significant number of photographs relating to maritime history and shipwrecks. He has written a blog to introduce himself and share more about his work with us. See the link in bio.

Throughout his time with us, Sam will share insights into particular areas of his research, and we also look forward to a talk from him at the end of his internship. A big welcome Sam!
