Paris, National History Museum Central Library

Paris
7/9/2011

I spent the morning getting my research notes up to date and beginning the MSc literature review. Last night I got confirmation of the 3rd Oct as my seminar at the Ghent University, and sent off a Title and Abstract. I went with the GBR linked-ecosystem modelling seminar but will try to broaden it a bit to show the advantages of JCU as a project partner. I also got a load of washing done so am pretty well up to date with my mundane tasks.

In the afternoon I put in a fairly big effort at the Central Library, getting through six manuscript/boxes. Not much that was useful apart from about three pages of drawings (no paintings yet) that were annotated "Terra Australes" or "Voyage to Terra Australes". Small very quiet "eureka" but all it means is that I have gone back just about far enough in his archive. I may run out of boxes or out of time. I have booked four boxes for tomorrow afternoon and hope there will be some of the Australian stuff in them.
