Scientific travel in the Atlantic world: the French expedition to Gorée and the Antilles, 1681-1683
2010
Although historians have long recognized the importance of long-range scientific expeditions in both the practice and culture of eighteenth- and nineteenth-century science, it is less well understood how this form of scientific organization emerged and became established in the seventeenth and early eighteenth centuries. In the late seventeenth century new European scientific institutions tried to make use of globalized trade networks for their own ends, but to do so proved difficult. This paper offers a case history of one such expedition, the voyage sponsored by the French Acade´mie royale des sciences to Gorée (in modern Senegal) and the Caribbean islands of Guadeloupe and Martinique in 1681–3. The voyage of Varin, Deshayes and de Glos reveals how the process of travel itself caused problems for instruments and observers alike.

Journal of Latin American Geography, 2011
This article examines the transatlantic dimensions of Spanish science in the years 1750-1808. During this period, Spain made strenuous efforts to survey and exploit the natural productions of her overseas possessions, organizing a series of scientific expeditions to the New World and displaying American fauna and flora in metropolitan gardens and museums. Here, the geographical dimensions of natural knowledge in the Hispanic World are explored and a consideration of how the place in which 'scientific' knowledge was formulated affected the nature and credibility of that knowledge. The article also questions the traditional dichotomies drawn between imperial/central knowledge and colonial/peripheral knowledge, emphasising instead the permeability of these categories.
Travelling Objects: the story of two natural history collections in the 19th century
2003
This paper will explore the journey of two distinct natural history collections assembled by the naturalists É tienne GeoCroy Saint-Hilaire (1772-1844) and Friedrich Welwitsch (1806-72), one from Brazil to Lisbon and Paris, the other from Angola to Lisbon, and then finally to London. Through an examination of these cases I will try to show how, in the nineteenth century, natural history specimens were associated with specific forms of collecting, travelling and exhibiting. I will recover and analyse the travel itineraries that do not appear on the museum labels of these objects, and by so doing reveal the exhibition culture that constitutes one of the main values of nineteenth-century Western civilization. Through the example of Portugal, I will also show how this culture is more visible in some countries than others. In fact, the making of natural history collections at this period is inseparable from the wider context of national and colonial identities, and from the conflict between a cosmopolitan scientific community and the growing number of nationalist projects that tried to exploit this knowledge for their own ends.

Ecosystems under Sail: Specimen Transport in the Eighteenth-Century French and British Atlantics
Early American Studies, 2012
The ocean was frequently as hostile an environment for plants and animals as it was for humankind in the eighteenth century. Existing methods of preserving the plants, fish, birds, and land animals that provided the raw materials for European science increasingly proved insufficient for the often long voyages that brought them from colonial and indigenous collectors; specimens arrived dead when they were needed alive, rotten and damaged when they were needed whole, and they frequently suffered as they encountered negligent and uninterested sailors, and rats and other shipboard pests that showed too much interest. This paper examines strategies of specimen transport adopted by French and British naturalists in the Atlantic world during the first half of the eighteenth century, arguing for the importance of maritime spaces that have often been overlooked in histories of the expanding reach of European science. Atlantic networks of specimen transport were simultaneously distinctly national and endlessly entangled. Efforts to discipline maritime social environments diverged along distinctly national lines, influenced by larger patterns of scientific sociability in both Britain and France. At the same time, however, naturalists drew on a cadre of common practices when they packed and preserved specimens for transport. The study of specimen transport demonstrates the geographic expanse of the centripetal and centrifugal tendencies at work more generally in eighteenth-century science; these forces simultaneously strengthened national scientific cultures and supported a cosmopolitan network of naturalists who communicated specimens and the methods for making them throughout Europe and the wider world.
Ever since our first research into Alexander von Humboldt’s stay in Spain, the absence of an ensuing relationship between the wise Prussian and the Spanish Crown and Authorities had always surprised us. On starting new research, we found that indeed he sent his first work to Carlos IV from Rome accompanied by a letter of gratitude for the protection he had received during his American trip and submission to the Spanish Crown, which we now present. This first literary fruit of his voyage, which Alexander von Humboldt alluded to in the letter is the first instalment of his work Plantes Équinoxiales, Recueillies au Mexique, dans l’ile de Cuba, dans les provinces de Caracas, de Cumana etc., published in Paris in 1805.
Martin Fernandez de Navarrete's COLLECTION OF VOYAGES AND DISCOVERIES (Vol. 1)
Given here is the complete Volume 1 English translation of Martin Fernandez de Navarrete’s Coleccion de Viages (Madrid, 1829) that used the online internet facility Google Translate. Navarrete’s books are a very important work in the history of the early voyages to the East undertaken by the Spaniards in the 15th Century. Synopses are given of many documents published by Navarrete, dated from 1518 to 1527. Those who wish to study it in detail will find abundant material in the 5 volumes of the Coleccion de Viages published by Navarrete. He precedes these documents by a brief summary of early discoveries.
