New to OPU this week is Wildlife Photographer of the Year Portfolio 21.
This powerful collection of pictures represents the work of 79 photographers from 24 countries. The pictures were selected from 41,000 entries and are chosen by an international panel of judges for their artistic merit.
OPU receives this hardback publication every year, as it is published by the Natural History Museum. Every year there are many stunning images, reminding the reader of the beauty, variety and fragility of the life on our planet.
It is shelved at: OP3.212.11.
The online gallery allows viewing of the winners and also the chance to purchase prints.

Vets in India
Our India Papers collection continues to take us down unexpected paths. Not only do we now have a publisher producing facsimile reprints of the Indian Hemp Drugs Commission Report with their unique sepia photographs of hemp users but the website Medical History of British India is now well into phase 2 (look out for our Digitisation Manager Francine’s fascinating blog entries about this).
We’re pleased to announce that the Wellcome Trust has approved funding for phase 3 of the project, which will see our veterinary reports digitised and added to the site. This project has helped enormously in the success of a Collaborative Doctoral Award from AHRC, with the Library and the University of Strathclyde as partners. The post-graduate student will begin his study of the Civil Veterinary reports in October and he’ll contribute to the text for the website, enabling greater understanding of the content of this important collection.
