• Resumen

  • Ogden reveals that more than 5000 logbooks and journals exist from the era of North American commercial whaling. They give a remarkable insight into life at sea, but also meticulous detail on which whale species were present where and when. By digitizing some of these treasures, a new project aims to use the hunters' records to shed light on historical populations and migration patterns--and so inform conservation efforts today.
