Archive: Thomas Davidson (17th May 1871 - 14th October 1885)

Private means enabled Davidson to devote his life to the study of the brachiopoda after initial encouragement by Von Buch. His artistic studies and abilities were utilized in achieving the significant monographs he published.

Davidson bequeathed his collection, library and manuscript notes to the Natural History Museum in 1886.
