Ian McTaggart Cowan’s Travel Journal

This lovely notebook belonged to Ian McTaggart Cowan, a Scottish-Canadian zoologist and conservationist. The image is from the archives of the University of Victoria, where you can flip through the rest of its pages. (The text is also transcribed next to the images, in case you can’t read the small handwriting!)

The journal covers 1957-1958, when he journey to Japan, Singapore, Thailand and England.

  1. I love pictures of used journals. I kind of want to run my fingers along the writing. I would love to just imagine the person who wrote these.
