G. E. Dyke-Poore seaweed specimen album
Manuscripts
A Victorian album of seaweed and algae specimens collected and preserved by G. E. Dyke-Poore. The album contains twenty-three seaweed specimens mounted on cards and then mounted on pages bound in the album; there are also four additional specimens mounted onto loose pages laid into the back of the album. The specimens are carefully pressed onto each card and labeled with their Latin names; the specimens seem to have been gathered in Jersey, with one specimen from The Heads, Tasmania. The album is bound in contemporary pink and gilt illustrated paper covers (possibly homemade), with the remainder of green silk ties. Mounted onto the verso of the front cover is a little green card which says "Collected, Arranged, and Mounted by Miss G. E. Dyke-Poore, Jersey" and there is also a short poem inscribed by Miss Dyke-Poore at the beginning of the album.

Alice Flood seaweed album
Manuscripts
A collection of sixty-eight seaweed, algae, and bryozoan samples, many of which have culinary uses; the majority of the samples are labeled with both common English names and Latin names. The majority of the samples were collected along the English coast, but two samples have a given location of "Point de Galles" in Sri Lanka. Each sample is attached to the paper with tiny stitches of thread; the leaves are loose and housed in a contemporary green cloth drop-sided box. The box also contains a poem on the recto of one folded leaf about the beauty of seaweed. The seaweed samples are extremely fragile and must be handled with care.
