This collection primarily contains bound manuscript notes, watercolors, and photographs from ornithologist David Armitage Bannerman’s trip to the Cape Verde Islands between 1903-1908, 1909-1912, and 1920. The collection includes one hand drawn map titled “Graciosa,” pages from publications on bird breeding, and a feather picked-up in Trinidad Gardens, Sandiago from a Guinea-fowl. Notes focus on the breeding of birds in the Cape Verde Islands.
