On this site, you will find the world's first & only large collection of full colour, high-resolution images of faithfully transcribed Darwin manuscripts. These manuscripts record Charles Darwin's work as a practicing scientist. Whether you are a student or a researcher, our goal is to offer you digital access to the primary evidence for the birth and maturation of Darwin's attempts to explore and explain the natural world.(...) The AMNH Darwin Manuscripts Project is a historical and textual edition of Charles Darwin's scientific manuscripts, designed from its inception as an online project. The database at its core—DARBASE—catalogues some 96,000 pages of Darwin scientific manuscripts. These are currently represented by 16,094 high resolution digital images. Thus far 9,871 manuscript pages have been transcribed to exacting standards and all are presented in easy to read format. ... [Information of the supplier]
HMAP is a global research initiative to study the past ocean life and human interaction with the sea. We are a group of about 100 researchers who have joined forces to develop an interdisciplinary research program using historical and environmental archives. HMAP analyzes marine population data before and after human impacts on the ocean became significant. HMAP aims to enhance knowledge and understanding of how the diversity, distribution and abundance of marine life in the worlds oceans changes over the long term. ... [Information of the supplier]
The purpose and function of the DGGTB (German Society for the History and Theory of Biology) is to promote the communication of the history and theory of all biological subjects by means of scientific events such as colloquia, symposia, working groups, and to foster scientific exchange between its members and younger developing scientists, to build up relationships with the corresponding foreign and domestic associations, especially in the neighbouring European states, and to build up and effectively represent publicly, common aims. Since, contrary to other countries in the European Community, and especially in contrast to the USA, there are no institutes or professorial chairs for the history and theory of biology in Germany the DGGTB advocates that the history and theory of biology be established as an independent field of work in biological research and teaching in all German universities that have a faculty of biology. ...

Carl Linnaeus was born nearly 300 years ago in a small village in Småland, Råshult. Celebrations of the tercentenary are currently being prepared throughout Sweden and in many places abroad. The Linnaeus Tercentenary will offer many exciting events - from scientific conferences to lectures for the general public, exhibitions, Linnaeus rambles in the countryside, and guided tours of the Linnaeus Sites in Småland and Uppland. The Linnaeus Tercentenary has two clear goals. The first goal is to increase interest for science among children and young people; the second goal is to present a full-faceted image of Carl Linnaeus for the general public. The tercentenary is centred on the concepts of Creativity - Curiosity - Science. These principles form the basis for all events and they have set their stamp on the preparations.

This Web site will explore the historical developments that led to the determination of the structure and biological functions of viruses and their macromolecular components. We are attempting to investigate the history of how knowledge of the structure of viruses at atomic resolution has impinged on the more biological studies of viruses. We expect to obtain contributions to this history from two overlapping groups of scientists; those who were responsible for determining the structures and those whose work was directly influenced by that information. ...
