Links to other servers providing digitized zoological literature | ||
Biodiversity Heritage Library BHL (Washington DC) | Non-profit joint venture of several North American libraries, digitizing mainly English zoological and botanical literature. Since May 2009 we are a member of the BHL-Europe consortium, so that our own digitized works will also be visible at the BHL-Europe website. | |
Gallica, Bibliothèque Nationale de France (Paris) |
Early literature of any kind, mostly from France. Many important zoological works were digitized in the mid-1990s from Leiden Museum resources.
Images in PDF format, pagination well documented,
figures of old scans usually in very bad quality.
We have linked to many works digitized by Gallica since 2005, and unfortunately many links have not remained stable and in 2009 they were outdated. Gallica has always had a very bad search function, and it still is bad, you will not always find digitized titles although they are there. Hopefully BHL-Europe will improve the situation. |

Work is currently being digitized, but we are still dreaming, it might be online somewhen in the next 2 years if everything goes well.
Digitization is a long and time intensive process. It consists of several independent steps, with long time gaps in between. Scanning, quality control, image control and creating metadata are the most important steps. |
