SORA
SORA (Searchable Ornithological Research Archive) was
initiated and implemented by COS member Blair Wolf. The first stage was
The Condor archive project, which was released in September 2002 with
the financial support of the Cooper Ornithological Society. Other
partners in the project were Princeton Imaging (scanning) and the
University of New Mexico Library (interface development and archive
host). Following the Cooper Society, other leading ornithological
societies joined the archive project in a collaboration that has
produced SORA, an incomparable resource of ornithological literature for
the scientific community.
