Carl Linnaeus is one of the great scientific figures of the 18th century. His works and those influenced by him are of great historical significance and continuing scientific relevance. The Linnaeus Link project - a collaboration between The Natural History Museum and a number of international partners - aims to improve access to these key resources by the creation of high quality digital records. This will eventually lead to an on-line union catalogue of Linnaean material.
