A fabulous article by Tiago Lubiana, Wikimedian in Residence for the Biodiversity Heritage Library, on the amazing work he completed during his time with BHL. #ILoveBHL #Wikidata #WikiCommons #Wikipedia https://diff.wikimedia.org/2025/08/30/past-present-and-future-a-wikimedian-in-residence-at-the-biodiversity-heritage-library/

Clearly expected given all that is happening, but the #Smithsonian will soon no longer be able to host the #BiodiversityHeritageLibrary, and it is in need of (a) new home(s):

#BHL is a treasure and ensuring its preservation is of the greatest importance for #biodiversity research and #taxonomy.

As the news item indicates, this may also be an opportunity to imagine better ways to make these critical publications more accessible to the community.

A press release is out about the Biodiversity Heritage Library. From 1 January 2026 the Smithsonian will no longer host the administrative functions of BHL. BHL is looking for a new home. For further information see https://blog.biodiversitylibrary.org/2025/04/new-future-for-bhl.html
I admit to being very concerned given how vital BHL is to the biodiversity knowledge infrastructure. I hold hope that a hero institution or group of institutions ride to the rescue.
