About the Internet Directory for Botany
Introduction
- The Internet Directory of Botany is an index to botanical information
available on the Internet, compiled by Anthony R. Brach
(Harvard University Herbarium,
Cambridge / Missouri Botanical Garden,
St. Louis, USA, www page),
Raino Lampinen
(Botanical Museum, Finnish Museum of Natural History,
University of Helsinki, Finland; www page)
and Shunguo Liu
(G.F Ledingham Herbarium, University of Regina, Canada; www page).
It consists of two parts, an alphabetical directory and a categorical
directory.
- The alphabetical list was compiled by Anthony R. Brach.
It was originally posted on TAXACOM in March 1995. HTML format
is created and maintained by Shunguo Liu. The subject category
list is maintained by Raino Lampinen since Autumn 1993. It
started as a personal bookmark list of botanical gopher sites,
since March 1994 also www sites, and was made available via WWW
in December 1994.
Additions and Corrections
- The pages are regularly updated. Please send additions and/or
corrections to Anthony R. Brach <brach@oeb.harvard.edu>
(alphabetical list) or to Raino Lampinen <raino.lampinen@helsinki.fi>
(subject category list). You can also use a www form to submit your comments, corrections and additions to the lists.The
new entries will be added to both lists. Home pages of
arboreta, botanical gardens, herbaria, botanical societies and
botanical research institutes are most welcome, as well as the
suggestions of links to their most important resources. But personal
home pages of botanists are only exceptionally added to our lists.
These pages are not for advertising commercial sites. We are sorry
