\"expedition\"<\/a>

Ipomoea arborescens and Edward Palmer. From the Edward Palmer Collecting Trips to Mexico and the Southern United States, 1853\u20131910<\/p><\/div>\n

Created by the Harvard University Library\u2019s Open Collections Program,\u00a0Expeditions and Discoveries<\/em>\u00a0offers important historical resources for students of anthropology, archaeology, astronomy, botany, geography, geology, medicine, oceanography, and zoology.<\/p>\n

Since the dawn of the modern age, the world has witnessed an increasingly organized approach to exploration and discovery: sometimes to document the geography, climate, resources, and peoples of little-known areas; sometimes to establish scientific facts, such as the earth\u2019s circumference.<\/p>\n

Historically, most organized explorations relied upon state or institutional sponsorship. By the 19th century, North America\u2019s universities were emerging as forces in a broad range of expeditions and discoveries. Within that context, Harvard University played significant roles\u2014as underwriter, participant, collector, and repository\u2014for pace-setting expeditions around the world.<\/p>\n

\"albatross\"<\/a>

The Albatross. From clippings related to the voyages of the Albatross, 1890\u20131899.<\/p><\/div>\n

The collection features nine major expeditions as they are reflected in the holdings of Harvard\u2019s libraries, museums, and archives. Other materials\u2014both published and unpublished\u2014provide vital, contextual information on exploration in the modern age.\u00a0In addition, users can search or browse materials by\u00a0discipline<\/a>\u00a0or\u00a0region<\/a>, explore holdings related to 22\u00a0notable people<\/a>, and find vital, contextual information on modern-age explorations from the\u00a0Arctic<\/a>\u00a0to the\u00a0Antarctic<\/a>, from\u00a0South America<\/a>\u00a0to\u00a0Africa<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0Australia<\/a>, and more.<\/p>\n
