The Biodiversity Heritage Library Project
http://www.biodiversitylibrary.org/
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."
Participating Institutions:

• American Museum of Natural History (New York, NY)
• The Field Museum (Chicago, IL)
• Missouri Botanical Garden (St Louis, MO)
• Natural History Museum (London, UK)
• The New York Botanical Garden (New York, NY)
• Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew (Richmond, UK)
• Smithsonian Institution Libraries (Washington, D.C.)
• Harvard University Botany Libraries (Cambridge, MA)
• Harvard University, Ernst Mayr Library of the Museum of Comparative Zoology (Cambridge, MA) and
• Marine Biological Laboratory/Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (Woods Hole, MA)

Participating libraries have over two million volumes of biodiversity literature collected over 200 years to support the work of scientists, researchers, and students in their home institutions and throughout the world.
