Abstract
The UK Web Archive contains thematic collections that cover a diverse array of subjects and events, ranging from UK General Elections, blogs, and the UEFA Women’s Euros 2022, to Live Art, the History of the Book, and the French community in London. Science, society, and the natural world are topics widely represented within the UK Web Archive. The official Zoological Society of London (ZSL) website, zsl.org has been archived on a quarterly basis since July 2014. But it is only since 2026 that we have a dedicated zoology thematic collection.
This presentation will illustrate the history of ZSL online and highlights a number of ways in which web archives, in particular the UK Web Archive, can be utilised in zoological research.
