The Natural History Museum Repository is Live

The Natural History Museum is an international leader in the scientific study of the natural world. Our science describes the present diversity of nature, promotes understanding of the critical importance of its past, and develops knowledge that supports anticipation and management of the impact of human activity on the environment. We promote the discovery, understanding, enjoyment, and responsible use of the natural world.

More than 300 scientists work at the Museum to tackle a diverse range of global problems, such as threats to the Earth's biodiversity, the maintenance of delicate ecosystems, environmental pollution and disease.

The Museum supports the principles of Open Access publishing. This new repository is where the published material created by those scientists is recorded and, where Intellectual Property Rights (IPR) allow, made available for further research or private study.

Since this is a new service, it will take time to build up the content, so please check back here often.
