On May 20 in London, Graham Higley accepted the 2011 John Thackray Medal of the Society for the History of Natural History on behalf of Tom Garnett, Program Director of the Biodiversity Heritage Library (BHL).
The Thackray Medal is given for "significant achievements in the history or bibliography of natural history." Higley is the head of the library and information services of the Natural History Museum in London, one of the 12 partners of the Biodiversity Heritage Library project, which has made freely accessible to date over 91,000 volumes of biodiversity literature through the BHL Portal.
