From the Scout Report here’s an interesting site onthe Galapagos (also from Univ of Wisconsin).

The Galapagos Collection

http://digicoll.library.wisc.edu/Zoology/subcollections/GalapagosAbout.shtml

Access to the Galapagos Islands hasbecome very limited in recent decades, and currently only three museums havepermission from the Ecuadorian government to collect, preserve, transport, andmaintain scientific anatomical specimens from the Galapagos Islands. One ofthese museums is the University of Wisconsin’s Zoological Museum (UWZM)and they have made ten expeditions to this remarkable group of islands since1969. Over the past few decades, these expeditions have produced many papersand reports, and some of these documents may be found right here at thiscollection which was created by the University of Wisconsin Digital Collectionsgroup. Visitors can read works like “Ecology of Giant Tortoises in theGalapagos Islands” by Linda Jean Cayot and classic texts such as A.L.Kroeber’s “Floral relations among the Galapagos Islands” from1916. All told, there are 37 digitized documents here, and visitors can browsethrough them or perform text searches as well.
