Gordon Chancellor is Regional Development Manager – at MLA East of England. He is responsible for providing expert advice to some 215 archive institutions across the East of England and is also the agency’s lead officer on all matters relating to collections. He is currently leading a number of collection management projects, working closely with the MDA and the region’s eleven Designated museums, libraries and archives.
A palaeontologist by training, and a holder of the Diploma of the Museums Association, he has extensive experience of museums and archives both in Britain and overseas. He has been researching the HMS Beagle voyage of 1831-6 for over 25 years, and has published on Darwin’s Beagle collections in the Oxford University Museum. He has also published Darwin’s St Helena Model notebook, part of English Heritage’s collection at Down House, and is now delighted to be part of the Darwin Online project as an Associate Editor. He is also assisting with The Beagle Project.
Gordon persuaded his father John (1925-1984), one of the finest marine artists of recent generations, to paint two pictures of the Beagle. Requests to reproduce either of these pictures must be directed to Gordon at Gordon.chancellor@mlaeastofengland.org.uk.
