Talk:Curtis's Botanical Magazine

background

 * The journal is noted for its botanical and horticultural descriptions, and its botanical illustrations. See also: Curtis's Botanical Magazine.
 * The first fourteen volumes are titled The Botanical Magazine (1787-1800)
 * Volume 15 and on are titled 'Curtis's Botanical Magazine'.
 * The volumes may be cited by either title, abbreviated as Bot. Mag. or Curtis's Bot. Mag. respectively.
 * The numbering of the plates and volumes is continuous, but also has volume numbering by series, eg, "VOL. V. OF THE NEW SERIES; Or Vol. LVIII. of the Whole Work." (Curtis's Botanical Magazine/Volume 58).

progress

 * Several pages were created to identify solutions for the ongoing project.
 * The text was transcribed from reproductions of the original document.
 * Title pages, with indices, were adapted from the original volumes format: The Botanical Magazine/Volume_XV
 * The title page; The Botanical Magazine, was created, listing the volumes. Links to later volumes were moved to Curtis's Botanical Magazine.
 * Pages of later volumes were moved (eg. Curtis's Botanical_Magazine/Volume_XV/505), redirects have been left for these. Links to other wikis may already exist and need to be resolved.
 * Images in the pages were uploaded to commons with titles such as: Image:The Botanical Magazine-Vol 19_text 715.jpg.
 * Various pages in several volumes were drafted, with an interim format, from the sources above.
 * A list of Banksia and Dryandra species was completed.
 * The Botanical Magazine/Volume 2 was completed using the source.
 * Complete volumes are uploaded to Commons as .djvu and .pdf files. The plates, botanical illustrations, are also extracted from the same source as .png files. Indexes for these were created and added to The Botanical Magazine, numbers 1–14, and Curtis's Botanical Magazine/Volume 58.
