The Galapagos Collection, Texts available Online

UW-Madison’s Zoological Museum maintains a unique collection of specimens from the Galapagos Islands, and is, in fact, one of only three museums permitted to do so by the Ecuadorian government. The museum also maintains texts that characterize the flora and fauna of this particular ecosystem.

UW Digital Collections has now embarked on a project to digitize these texts with its initial production accessible at: http://digital.library.wisc.edu/1711.dl/Zoology

The digitization project is funded by a Brittingham Grant.
