Project archives

Here are a few examples of projects that have been conducted at the Center.

Linnaeus’s Correspondence

The Linnaeus’s Correspondence project made the whole of Linnaeus’s correspondence distributed in various archives over the world available on the web with abbreviations, translation as well as facsimiles. Upon the completion of the project the database was migrated to the Alvin system. The project was generously funded by the Riksbankens Jubileumsfond.
