William Jerome Harrison[a] FGS (16 March 1845 – 6 June 1908), was a British geologist, science writer, and amateur photographer who wrote several textbooks on chemistry, physics, photography, and geology, including the first geological book illustrated with photographs.

[1][2][3] Harrison is also credited with being the founder of the National Photographic Record and Survey Movement which led to the formation of the National Photographic Record Association in 1897.

[1] He edited, jointly with Edward W. Badger, volumes 1 to 9 of The Midland Naturalist, the journal of the Midland Union of Natural History Societies, to which he also contributed articles.

In 1885 he was awarded the Union's Darwin Prize for original research in geology.
