This is not an exhaustive listing of every possible natural history site on the Internet, but rather a guide to image collections and to miscellaneous resources in natural history, systematics, conservation and ecology, and the history of science that are hard to classify anywhere else, as well as anything else that seemed like a good idea at the time. Please note that most of the images available through the servers listed here are in the public domain and may be copied freely for non-commercial purposes; however, you should make certain of this before making use of any images found on any of the sites listed here.
Check the other collections listings for resources dealing with specific groups of plants and animals. For on-line journals and newsletters in the natural sciences,
consult the list maintained on the UCMP server.
