Tim Walsh is a museum professional with 30-plus years of experience in the field. Much of his career has been focused on herpetology with a speciality in turtles, and he has worked in zoos, public aquaria, science centres, and museums. His recently found passion for history has a focused interest in the founding curators of the Bruce Museum, where he served as Collections Manager for nearly a decade. Tim intends to write the biographies of these two forgotten naturalists. He has a Master’s Degree in Museum Studies with research interests in conservation education, the history of natural history, and reconnecting children and adults alike with nature. He is a member of the IUCN Tortoise and Freshwater Turtle Specialist Group, a Fellow of The Explorers Club, an avid outdoorsman, a published photographer, and a book collector.
This website and blog will serve as an outlet for sharing work-related experiences, for documenting his path in transforming from a conservation biologist into a historian, and for information to be included in the biography of Edward F. Bigelow.
Tim lives in Southwest England with his wife, Charlotte, and dog, Biscuit.
