Encyclopedia of Life
Sunday, October 19, 2008

The Encyclopedia of Life is a very good construct. It will be a one-stop site for all kinds of research about life. If the Encyclopedia of Life can survive in this fast-paced web-age, it will be an amazing success.

The Encyclopedia of Life intends to document virtually everything about the 1.8 million species known to science.

The Encyclopedia of Life started on February 26, 2008. It has about 30,000 entries in its database.

The Encyclopedia of Life proved to be extremely popular when it was launched. Its servers could not handle the mega traffic – 11 million page views within just two days.

The five organizations behind the Encyclopedia of Life are the Biodiversity Heritage Library, The Field Museum, Harvard University, the Marine Biological Laboratory, and the Smithsonian Institution

The estimated cost for the Encyclopedia of Life is $110.5 million.
