Cornell University Library is a newly minted member of the Biodiversity Heritage Library (BHL), an online collection of historic scientific literature.

Materials from Mann are joining nearly 100,000 digitized life science titles already in the online repository, which boasts participants from Europe, Australia, China and the United States. Cornell University Library is the second academic institution to become a contributing partner (Harvard Libraries was the first).

Mann’s next BHL focus will be digitizing and adding Cornell’s entomology collection, which is one of the largest and finest in the world.
