Dr Ann Thwaite's Fellowship took her, in 1993, to the USA to visit libraries with Tennyson collections and to Italy to follow the Tennyson's journeys there. The result of her research was Emily Tennyson: The Poet's Wife, published by Faber. Last year, to mark the 200th anniversary of Tennyson's birth, Faber Finds reissued Ann's biography of his wife.  In the same year, Anne finally turned her attention to her own family story, having already written about the Hodgsons and Burnetts, the Gosses, the Milnes and, of course, the Tennysons. Her book Passageways - the story of a New Zealand family, was published by Otago University Press but is available in the UK through Gazelle Books on sales@gazellebooks.co.uk or from Amazon.
 

Fellow Roger Smith, was recently commissioned by the Bodleian Library, Oxford University to build a camera obscura for their current summer exhibition about John Aubrey and the Development of Experimental Science. John Aubrey was, amongst many things, an antiquary, scientist and educationalist - he believed the ideal classroom should contain a set of instruments, including the camera obscura, which would encourage children to learn because it would make learning fun and ' will set them agog'.  The exhibition marks the 350th anniversary of the Royal Society, is free to enter and is on until 31st October 2010.
