The Biodiversity Heritage Library is currently scanning material five locations around the world. As materials are scanned, they are deposited directly into the Internet Archive repository. The links below will provide you with feed information on materials from the individual scanning centers as it becomes available:
- All BHL Materials from all Intenet Archive facilities
- Missouri Botanical Garden (non-Internet Archive operation; see www.botanicus.org for latest updates)
Internet Archive scanned materials will eventually be processed for delivery through the BHL portal site
