ELViS Development

This is the wiki page for listing various ELViS development activities.

Overview

ELViS is a deliverable of the SYNTHESYS+ project and will provide open access to over 490 million specimens at 21 institutions in Europe through the SYNTHESYS+ Transnational Access (TA) and Virtual Access (VA / Digitisation on Demand) programmes. The Virtual Access program is aiming to remove the reliance on physical access by piloting a “Digitisation on Demand” service model.
