Links to many natural history books.
Ten major natural history museum libraries, botanical libraries, and research
institutions have joined to form the Biodiversity Heritage Library Project. The group
is developing a strategy and operational plan to digitize the published literature of
biodiversity held in their respective collections. This literature will be available
through a global “biodiversity commons.”
