More than 30 Special Collections focused on Florida’s Natural History, including archives from the Florida Audubon Society and Florida Ornithological Society, contribute to scientific research on environmental change in Florida over the last century. These archives show dramatic changes in Florida’s environments and a blueprint for successful collective action, strategies for adaptation, and baselines for setting realistic conservation targets.
