Title: Humboldt Project - Open Digital Research Library : Sources [Canary Islands]
Identifier: http://humboldt.mpiwg-berlin.mpg.de/05.sources.htm
Publisher: MPIWG = Max Planck Institute for the History of Science
Abstract: The Humboldt Project aims at an open digital library dealing with a core aspect of the history of science: the role that scientific expeditions played in the discovery of the world. It is concerned with the central documents resulting from European expeditions in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, whose investigations focused on the Canarian Archipelago. The name Alexander von Humboldt (1769 - 1859) is intimately linked to this tradition. The project has been initiated in April 2002 by the Max Planck Institute for the History of Science (MPIWG) in Berlin and the Fundación Canaria Orotava de Historia de la Ciencia (FCOHC) in Tenerife. Their cooperation aims to combine interdisciplinary investigation and dissemination using new electronic media. The digitized works by Proyecto Humboldt appear in two layouts: LiSe and digilib. The LiSe layout has a general index of the work in its left frame and the images in two sizes. The size of the image can be changed by clicking on it. The digilib layout does not have a general index of the work, but a bigger image size than in the LiSe layout can be obtained using the utilities frame on the right.
