BHL Australia

BHL Australia is a national project working to digitise Australia's biodiversity literature and make it openly accessible online on the Biodiversity Heritage Library website. Our digitisation operation is located at the Melbourne Museum in the beautiful World Heritage Listed Carlton Gardens. BHL Australia is funded by the Atlas of Living Australia to make Australia's biodiversity knowledge openly accessible to everyone.
