Collection: Dr John Reginald Homer Weaver Collection

Description

John Reginald Homer Weaver (1882-1965) was a professor of modern history at Trinity College Dublin, and later president of Trinity College Oxford, where he worked for 40 years. He was editor of the Dictionary of National Biography from 1928-1937, and was a Fellow of the Royal Photographic Society.

Weaver became interested in photography around 1900, and was particularly interested in Spanish architecture.

The collection comprises negatives and prints dating from c1900-1929 with an emphasis on ecclesiastical subjects, although secular buildings in Oxford also have some coverage. These items were deposited in 1944, and have been catalogued to item level.

There are also lantern slides, lecture notes, notebooks, and a further series of negatives from an earlier deposit, which have not been catalogued to item level.
