Paratext is happy to announce another recent addition to Eight Centuries: the Biodiversity Heritage Library (BHL).

The BHL data contained in Eight Centuries comprises over 166 thousand records to biology texts ranging from the sixteenth to the twenty-first centuries.

Within the Biodiversity Heritage Library, find sources on the brain structures of salamanders, early scientific studies on edible mollusks, congressional efforts to increase the number of women in the sciences, and much more.
