AMNH Brand Instant Library

8:14 pm

The mission of the American Museum of Natural History:

To discover, interpret, and disseminate – through scientific research and education – knowledge about human cultures, the natural world, and the universe.

has just been fulfilled a little further.

PDFs of more than a century of the AMNH’s scientific publications—all the Bulletins, Novitates, Anthropological Papers, and Memoirs—are available, searchable, and downloadable here.

I’ve no doubt that a lot of noble sentiments and hard work went into making this happen, and I appreciate all of it. This is the sort of thing that makes me thrilled to be living in the 21st century.
