This series of three open licensed videos are part of an online exhibition by The Royal Zoological Society of Scotland (RZSS) Edinburgh Zoo and Heritage Collections.

The archives of RZSS are now housed as part of the University of Edinburgh’s Heritage Collections, and a lot of work has gone into making the past accessible. These videos explain how the archives were discovered, how they were conserved, and how they can be accessed today.

More information can be found on the exhibition website:
