More than 1,700 animal and plant specimens from the collection of eminent British geologist Sir Charles Lyell-known as the pioneer of modern geology-were organised, digitised and made openly accessible via the NHM Data Portal in a pilot project, led by Dr. Consuelo Sendino, curator at the Department of Earth Sciences (Natural History Museum, London). They are described in a data paper published in the open-access Biodiversity Data Journal.
