I collect artefacts related to Alfred Russel Wallace ("Wallaceiana"), and although there are certainly not nearly as many as there are Darwin-related items ("Darwiniana"), new pieces do occasionally still turn up. The latest is the name badge holder below, which I purchased from a well known online auction site. It was produced for the XV International Congress of Zoology in 1958, which celebrated the 100th anniversary of the reading at the Linnean Society of London, of Darwin and Wallace's seminal papers proposing the theory of evolution by natural selection.

2019 sees the 150th anniversary of the publication of Wallace's excellent book about his travels in Indonesia, Malaysia, East Timor and Singapore - The Malay Archipelago.
WMF Founder George Beccaloni will be the "Ship's Naturalist" on an amazing cruise across the remote eastern part of Indonesia in October 2019, which will raise funds for his Wallace Correspondence Project. The cruise, entitled "In Search of Wallace and his Living Treasures", has just been featured on the prestigious National Geographic Traveller magazine's "Cool List" for 2019 - a real honour!
