    The Digital Archive is an ongoing project to digitise all the BSBI’s publications and make them available freely to everyone. The project is entirely voluntary, and we would welcome offers of help with scanning or provision of electronic versions of publications.

    If there is a paper that you would like us to scan, please make a request.

    Literature Searches

    On the BSBI Database you can search for botanical literature by genus. It is fairly comprehensive for publications on British & Irish plants in the second half of the 20th century.

    Simpson’s Index

    Douglas Simpson’s comprehensive listing of sources of botanical information relating to the British Isles is now a scarce and valuable tome. It was scanned and digitized by Tim Rich at the National Museum of Wales, and is made available here as a download. Abbrevations have been expanded to make it more readable, and Dr Rich would welcome feedback and corrections.
