The Chris Mead Memorial Fund

Library Update

The Chris Mead Library is now completed. Thank you to everyone who has so generously donated to this major project.

This library commemorates the life and achievements of Chris, who worked tirelessly for the BTO for over forty years - within the ringing unit, as an ambassador and latterly the press consultant. 

The library is now located on an impressive mezzanine structure, which includes the librarian's office, a lift, and work spaces to accommodate visiting academics, scientists etc. Beneath the mezzanine is rolling storage for almost 100 years of ornithological archives.

A major scanning project is still taking place to digitally store a vast range of archive materials. Further donations will assist us in the completion of this vital project.
