About

This online exhibition was put together by Jonathan Saha, working for the Department of Historical Studies at the University of Bristol, in collaboration with Kate Newnham, Senior Curator of Visual Arts, and Bonnie Griffin, Curator of Natural History, both at the Bristol Museum. The funding for the exhibition was generously provided through an Arts and Humanities Research Council fellowship, held by Jonathan, to explore an ‘Animal History of Colonial Burma’. Catherine Howard and Bhagesh Sachania designed and constructed the website for the exhibition.
