R.E. Balch was born in England in 1894 and emigrated to Canada in 1913. In 1930 he was appointed officer in charge of the Dominion Entomological Laboratory, a federal government facility, located on the UNB campus in Fredericton. In the years that followed, he received world recognition for his work as a forester, entomologist, ecologist and conservationist. Photography was a life long hobby which culminated in the publication of two books of photographs, A Mind's Eye in 1985 and Celebrations of Nature in 1991. Photographs depict buildings, activities and individuals associated with the University of New Brunswick.
