The
library of the Oxford University Museum of Natural History
has a wealth of 19th to early 20th century entomological
literature that is central to the development of entomology
as an academic subject. Some of this literature also relates
to specimens held in the Entomological Collections of
the University Museum of Natural History, records and
some images of which are available on line. The digitization
of these key books and papers and their availability on
the web through the ODL provides a very rich, immediate
resource of rare items for scholars and researchers in
entomology and the history of science.
