Linnaeus Link
Founded in 1999, the Linnaeus Link Project is an international collaboration between scholars with an interest in the life and work of Carl Linnaeus, as well as libraries, archives, museums and other institutions with significant holdings of Linnaean material.
Between 2000 and 2025, the project provided an online union catalogue of Linnaean material held in repositories worldwide. This phase of the project concluded in June 2025.
Linnaeus Link still curates the official bibliography of the works and legacy of Carl Linnaeus (1707–1778), and continues the bibliographic work of Basil H. Soulsby.
The Linnaeus Link Union Catalogue permanently closed on 30 June 2025. A list of alternative resources can be found on the Linnean Society of London website, and enquiries can be directed to the Collections team.
The post-Soulsby bibliography of Linnaean works will continue to be maintained, and is available from the Linnean Society on request.
