An electronic copy of The Victorian Naturalist

The Victorian Naturalist is a significant record of scientific and other information about the natural history of Australia. The FNCV has recently obtained a grant from The Norman Wettanhall Foundation to create a digital archive of The Victorian Naturalist, extending back to the first issue, in January 1884. The Archive will be totally searchable from the internet once it is completed, making available the vast knowledge and observations of Victorian natural history to everyone.
