- Staraí eolaíochta, zó-eolaí , agus bunaitheoir Mhúsaem Stair na hEolaíochta, Oxford ab ea Robert William Theodore Gunther (23 Lúnasa 1869 - 9 Márta 1940). Bhí athair Gunther, Albert Günther, ina Choimeádaí Zó-eolaíochta ag Músaem na Breataine i Londain. Cuireadh oideachas ar Robert Gunther i Scoil Choláiste na hOllscoile, ceangailte le Coláiste na hOllscoile, Londain. I dtreo dheireadh a chuid scolaíochta d’fhreastail sé ar léachtaí i gColáiste na hOllscoile féin. Toghadh é chun demi-scoláireacht i gColáiste Magdalen, Oxford, i 1965 agus chuaigh sé i mbun oibre i 1888. Chuaigh sé isteach i gClub Eolaíochta Ollscoil Oxford ina chéad téarma ag Magdalen agus ina dhiaidh sin ghlac sé le hÁnracht sa Choláiste. Sa bhliain 1911, bhog Gunther agus a theaghlach go 5 Folly Bridge, teach ard neamhghnách agus sainiúil ar oileán beag ar an Tamais in aice leis an droichead. Bhí an abhainn seo lárnach dá shaol. Ba cheannródaí é ar chaomhnú an chomhshaoil in Oxford. Ó 1923, chuir Robert Gunther sraith ceithre leabhar déag ar fáil ar Early Science in Oxford, a magnum opus, an ceann deireanach le feiceáil i 1945. Cuireadh iad seo ar fáil faoi choimirce Chumann Staire Oxford agus cuireadh i gcló iad ag an Clarendon Press, Oxford . Chlúdaigh an cúigiú imleabhar déag óna mhac AE Gunther i 1967 saol Robert Gunther féin. Idir 1926 agus 1930, bhunaigh Gunther Músaem Stair na hEolaíochta i bhfoirgneamh Old Ashmolean, le deacracht áirithe: is cosúil nár roinn mórán dá lucht comhaimsire a paisean d’uirlisí eolaíochta stairiúla, agus go deimhin déanann an tsraith Luath-Eolaíochta trácht deilgneach air mainneachtain na réamhtheachtaithe i gcomhlachtaí measúla éagsúla rudaí den sórt sin a chaomhnú. Bhí bailiúchán tosaigh an mhúsaeim bunaithe ar bhailiúchán uirlisí eolaíochta a chara Lewis Evans, a bronnadh i 1924. Fuair Gunther bás tar éis breoiteachta gairid, agus é ag fanacht i dteach cara i sráidbhaile theas Oxfordshire, South Stoke. Tá sé féin agus a bhean, Amy, curtha i Heacham, Norfolk, i láthair uaighe teaghlaigh Rolfe, tar éis dóibh stair a theaghlaigh a scríobh. Tháinig Frank Sherwood Taylor i gcomharbacht air mar Choimeádaí Mhúsaem Stair na hEolaíochta. Tá cartlann lámhscríbhinní a bhailigh Gunther i seilbh Mhúsaem Stair na hEolaíochta. (ga)

- Robert William Theodore Gunther (23 August 1869 – 9 March 1940) was a historian of science, zoologist, and founder of the Museum of the History of Science, Oxford. Gunther's father, Albert Günther, was Keeper of Zoology at the British Museum in London. Robert Gunther was educated at University College School, attached to University College London. Towards the end of his schooling he attended lectures at University College itself. He was elected to a four-year demyship at Magdalen College, Oxford, in 1887 and took this up in 1888. He joined the Oxford University Scientific Club in his first term at Magdalen and subsequently he took up a Fellowship at the College. In 1911, Gunther and his family moved to 5 Folly Bridge, an unusual and distinctive tall house on a small island in the River Thames next to the bridge. This made the river central to his life. He was a pioneer of environmental conservation in Oxford. From 1923, Robert Gunther produced a fourteen volume set of books on Early Science in Oxford, his magnum opus, the last appearing in 1945. These were initially produced under the auspices of the Oxford Historical Society and printed at the Clarendon Press, Oxford. A fifteenth volume by his son A. E. Gunther in 1967 covered Robert Gunther himself. Between 1926 and 1930, Gunther founded the Museum of the History of Science in the Old Ashmolean building, with some difficulty: it is apparent that few of his contemporaries shared his passion for historical scientific instruments, and indeed the Early Science series makes barbed comments about the failure of predecessors in various august bodies to preserve such things. The museum's initial collection was based on the scientific instrument collection of his friend Lewis Evans, donated in 1924. Gunther died after a short illness, while staying at a friend's house in the south Oxfordshire village of South Stoke. He and his wife, Amy, are buried at Heacham, Norfolk, in the Rolfe family plot, having written their family history. He was succeeded as Curator of the Museum of the History of Science by Frank Sherwood Taylor. An archive of manuscripts collected by Gunther is held by the Museum of the History of Science. (en)
