Encyclopedia of Life … imagine for a moment that all the diversity of the world were finally revealed and then described, say one page to a species. The description would contain the scientific name, a photograph or drawing, a brief diagnosis, and information of where the species if found. If published in conventional book form … this Great Encyclopedia of Life would occupy 60 meters of library shelf  per million species … 100 million species of organisms … would extend through 6 kilometers of shelving …  E.O. Wilson (1992)

Grants of $6 million for BHL from the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur and Alfred P. Sloan Foundations (as part of the Encyclopedia of Life grant) Additional support from parent institutions Supplemental grants in place for specific development (e.g. Gordon & Betty Moore Foundation) Additional grants being actively pursued by BHL and individual members
A Global Library for Life In any well-appointed Natural History Library there should be found every book and every edition of every book dealing in the remotest way with the subjects concerned.  Charles Davies Sherborn, Epilogue to  Index Animalium , March 1922

Notes de l'éditeur

  1. In 2007, 23 members from across the Institution representing LAMS met to discuss collaboration among libraries, archives and museums, and more efficient means to showcase institutional assets. This group identified two projects… neither of these good ideas came with funding. Instead the Smithsonian would look for opportunities to try to turn these recommendations into reality. We did, but when the opportunities presented themselves, they took a different flavor. Two Institution-wide collaboration projects: Development of a comprehensive digitization and access program for unencumbered photographic collections. Creation of an internal single point of access to all Smithsonian collections information for staff.
