I am thrilled to announce the 1790 "Great Kanguroo" (the 1st published description of any kangaroo species) now has a DOI & is part of the great linked network of scholarly research: https://t.co/L7LFf2B55U digitised for @BioDivLibrary by @bhl_au @museumsvictoria @atlaslivingaus

I have a new favourite journal on @BioDivLibrary: @NHM_London's "Bulletin of the Natural History Museum (Natural History). Historical Series." Because what's more fascinating than the history of natural history collections? DOIs coming soon! #RetroPIDs https://t.co/PGO3VM4mpW

We're about to mint a DOI for the 1st published description of Big Foot! George Shaw introduced this bizarre creature to the world in 1790. He called it Macropus: https://t.co/E0eaPgccog (DOI imminent thanks to @ChrisJamesHealy @rdmpage @atlaslivingaust @BioDivLibrary) #RetroPIDs

Today I'm losing myself in the history of @NHM_London's #NaturalHistory collections. I'm supposed to be making this history discoverable by adding article data to their historic publications on @BioDivLibrary, but I just can't help reading the articles. https://t.co/PGO3VM4mpW

I'm giving a talk "at" my daughter's school tomorrow for their "What do adults do?" series. I think I'll skip DOIs and focus on the weird and wonderful (e.g. both these animals were thought to be hoaxes in the 1700s). cc @BioDivLibrary @bhl_au

DYK that a search for "savage and malicious" in @biodivlibrary returns three pages of results? Including titles such as "Grandpapa's Tales of Animals" & "The New England Farmer" (and my beloved first description of the Thylacine)? I love #FullTextSearch: https://t.co/JzVToRPYjW

"When the comparatively small island of Tasmania becomes more densely populated & its primitive forests are intersected with roads...this singular animal will speedily diminish, extermination will have its full sway..." (John Gould 1863) via @BioDivLibrary https://t.co/VaXzR4OxRc

"The last captive Carolina Parakeet died at the Cincinnati Zoo on February 21, 1918, in the same cage as Martha, the last passenger pigeon, which died in 1914."

Here's the music generated by the data for J. W. Lewin's "Kangaroos in Landscape" 1819 #MusicForgedByData by Thomas Wing-Evans. https://t.co/dMfTxk3qZC (oil on canvas on display at @statelibrarynsw) #InfoOnline19 @bestqualitycrab @suehutley

But I did have to find another ripper example of an out-of-copyright scientific description locked behind a paywall. I think this one will do: first description of the Thylacine AND the Tasmanian Tiger (Harris 1808): https://t.co/EIomL27lr1 via @WileyLibINFO @LinneanSociety
