Born in 1932 in Western Australia, Peter Slater was an Australian ornithologist, wildlife artist and photographer. He began photographing birds from an early age and won numerous awards in international exhibitions for his drawings. Living most of his adult life in Queensland, he illustrated over 30 books on birds, and produced several natural history books and field guides, often in collaboration with his wife Pat or his son Raoul.

Andrew Isles acquired the collection from the son of Peter Slater, Raoul Slater
