Richard Dean pays particular attention to the period between 1850 and 1950 when museum collections were growing intensively, and were being used by several authors to provide material for books: E.L. Layard, A.C. Stark and W.L. Sclater, V. FitzSimons, E.L. Gill, Austin Roberts and Dr P.A. Clancey, amongst others.

Biologist WRJ (Richard) Dean was a research officer at the Percy FitzPatrick Institute of African Ornithology from 1986 until his retirement in 2006.
