Darlington and Teesdale Naturalists' Field Club

Catalogue Description

The club was founded in 1891 as Darlington Naturalists' Field Club and took its current name in 1896. Their aim was to establish a reference library and museum, to co-ordinate field work and to organise interesting lectures. Weekly meetings were programmed: a mid-week meeting for lectures and reports throughout the year plus a Summer programme of weekend field trips. The original meeting room and museum was at the Mechanics Institute; this then moved to a schoolroom in the Friends Meeting House. They currently meet at the school on Vane Terrace.

The club is organised with a governing council meeting regularly, with officers elected to council at the AGM. Different sections are represented on council and co-ordinate activities in a wide range of subjects areas, changing slightly over the years but including: botany and mycology, ornithology, mammals, entomology (chiefly lepidoptera), freshwater and marine life, archaeology, local history, geology, fossils, mycology, botany. These different areas of interest were reflected in the organisation of the club's library (used as the foundation for the organisation of the archives).

In addition to the club's own records and library, the archives include a variety of papers inherited from leading members. Original research is published or put forward to other appropriate bodies. Members and officers are active in other local and umbrella societies and some have also been prolific in lecturing and publishing.

Information about the history of the club, together with photographs of past presidents and details of current council members, is available on the Club's website: www.dtnfc.org
In preparing this catalogue, the arrangement follows the club's own library classification, with additional reference material included alongside existing library sections. Original library catalogue references are given in brackets (e.g. [A1]). Research notes and reports are included with the records of the club itself.

The entire deposit has been kept apart from duplicated material, where the best copy has been kept, and O/S maps which either were already held by the office or did not meet our collection requirements.
