The Royal Botanic Gardens, Victoria, has recently launched a website with over 11,500 pieces of correspondence from Ferdinand von Mueller, the influential Victorian Government Botanist and Director of the Royal Botanic Gardens, Melbourne. The von Mueller Correspondence Project was initiated in 1987, and this new searchable website – which includes translations into English of letters in other languages – is a major resource for the history of science and environmental history in Australia.
