Sometimes libraries are the sole holding institution for a paper printed work of science literature. Loss of such knowledge would indeed be a loss. We work with consortia like @BLC_Inc #EAST #printretention as you can’t build historical digital libraries without paper first.

The heath hen (Tympanuchus cupido cupido) was declared extinct in 1932. "The Last Heath Hen" (1930), published in the @MBLScience "The Collecting Net" newspaper, documents the last individual of the species. @MBLWHOILibrary shares more on our blog. ➡️ s.si.edu/2QjYSv9

Scholar Laura Lovett spent the summer of 2013 at @MBLScience working on the launch of the @MBLHistory project, specifically researching practicalities of Woods Hole life which enabled women scientists to do their work and raise their families.

This portrait of Ernest Just from 1925 is from the @MBLScience Archives. Just worked summers at the Marine Biological Laboratory for many years. His achievements and the unjust obstacles he faced during his career are of equal importance.
