<p>This
dataset is a simplified record of all dispersals from the Kew Museum of
Economic Botany between 1847 and 1990. It is based mainly on entries in the
'Specimens Distributed' books (or exit books) held in the Economic Botany
Collection, supplemented (for the period before 1881) by other archival sources
and extended with further information in Museum entry books. There are
item-level links to all entries in the Specimens Distributed books which have
been digitised for the Biodiversity Heritage Library website (<a href="https://biodiversitylibrary.org/">https://biodiversitylibrary.org</a>).</p><p><br></p><p>
<br></p><p>This dataset was created as part of research for the Mobile
Museum research project, a collaboration between Royal Holloway, University of
London, and the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew. Links: </p><p>
