Database of historical information (newspaper articles, letters, reports etc) on Whales in the Falkland Islands from 1905 to 2015

This library was produced as part of the Darwin Plus- funded project, 'Marine Spatial Planning for the Falkland Islands' (July 2014-July 2016), and the Falkland Islands Environmental Studies Budget project, 'Mapping whale distribution around the Falkland Islands using best available knowledge'. Newspaper articles, book excerpts, government documents, letters, reports, and photographs related to whale sightings in Falklands' waters were gathered and catalogued into a Zotero Database. The literature provides specific information on whales and whaling in the Falkland Islands' waters (e.g. information on New Island Station), and more general information on whales and whaling worldwide. Zotero is an open-source literature library that can be downloaded at: https://www.zotero.org/download/
