Learn From Our Natural Past

Anyone interested in improving their knowledge of biodiversity should turn to the Biodiversity Heritage Library (BHL), a resource that provides access to thousands of books, journals and archival documents on natural history and life on Earth going back seven centuries.

Because it is designed to improve research methodology, the site provides the option to search by title, author, subject, date or collection. Digging in for the first time? Visit the BHL blog for news and suggested reads, or Today’s Picks to view BHL’s image albums and galleries. Don’t pass on the Featured Content section, where you can currently learn about Women in Natural History.
