I´ve bought a film/slide-scanner recently and i'm digitalizing some old photos now. Every now and then i stubble upon a couple of photos made in zoos. So far all dutch zoos (Harderwijk, burgers, wassenaar, ouwehand), but i guess i'll find some of antwerp to. I was only born in 83, so the oldest photos are not mine, but my parents' For those interested, check; Zoos in the Past :: Fotopic.Net Some examples; Burgers in 1982; giraffe in the enclosure that is now home to bongos and duikers. (in the background you see the green orang-building) Dolfinarium Harderwijk 1991; False killer whales. Wassenaar 1981; Giraffes (G.c.antiquorum) I'm far from done, so you might have to check later again for new stuff.
I also have some old photos of Barcelona zoo. All taking by my at the '90. The following are from the old aviary. It was rebuild at 2000. This is also inside the aviary: Former polar bear exhibit occupied by penguins. Now there's the new penguin exhibit (there are some photos of the new one at the gallery): Tamandua:
