In 1970 he moved into research taxidermy on the freeze-drying techniques created by Reg Harris. He was the first successful taxidermist to do so and developed these freeze-drying techniques to a commercial level. Eventually, he developed a new field of taxidermy called Combined Taxidermy.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>He has been the Chairman of the Taxidermists Federation of Great Britain and Ireland since its inception in 1973. His work appears in over seventy museums in the British Isles alone, besides appearing as far afield as Japan, Australia, and the West Coast of the USA, and covers all forms of taxidermy work. Mr. O&#8217;Connor is a teacher and lecturer of taxidermy and has written many papers on the subject, including a book called Fish Taxidermy. He has been a keen naturalist since boyhood and is a European Wildlife Conservationist <a style=\"color: #000000;\" title=\"Pete O&#039;Conner Taxidermist\" href=\"https:\/\/lochnessmystery.blogspot.com\/2018\/12\/peter-oconnor-taxidermist.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">*\u00b9<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"content\">\n<hr \/>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A book on taxidermy fully explaining the latest methods including freeze drying.
