Searchable Ornithological Research Archive (SORA) Digital Exhibit

Abstract

SORA is a library-run, open access archive of ornithological literature from approximately 50 different publications dating back to the late 19th century. The publications include numerous hand-drawn illustrations and photographs of the birds studied and portraits of the birds in nature. For the University of New Mexico, I created an online exhibit of these ornithological illustrations using Omeka. The exhibit provides interpretive information on the history and evolution of scientific illustration in Ornithology and provide a showcase and index of major illustrations published in SORA partner journals.
