The famous scientist Jean Vivant is being honoured with the exhibition « Jean Vivant d’Orthez à la Guadeloupe, une vie de naturaliste » (Jean Vivant d’Orthez in Guadeloupe, a naturalist's life)
The Jean-Louis-Curtis media library (Orthez, 64) is organising an exhibition on the botanist Jean Vivant. Visitors can view the exhibit on site, and also online on the media library's portal.
Jean Vivant was a teacher and a great specialist in the flora and fungi of the French Western Pyrenees. A tireless worker, he wrote about 200 publications, most notably in Le monde des plantes, the Bulletin de la Société Botanique de France and the Société Mycologique de France. His herbarium, of great value, contains specimens from France (especially the flora of the Orthez region, and the French Antilles), but also from Spain, Portugal, Greece, Morocco, Senegal, etc. His Herbarium va digitized thanks to the e-ReColNat project, and is available online.
You can help enhance and promote the herbarium for its research value, by participating in the citizen science project "Les Herbonautes"! All the derails can be found here.

Some of the naturalist collections held at Rennes 1 have been digitised and are available online.
The Virtual Access (VA) is a call for computerisation and/or digitisation projects of European Natural History collections.
The VA prioritises transnational projects, which involve collections from several institutions (see list below) and which address one or more of the Horizon 2020 societal challenges. This will allow for the immediate availability of data and associated metadata (e.g. geo-referencing, 2D and 3D images, molecular and chemical data, etc.).
Launch date: 22 March 2021
Deadline for contacting the VA coordinators: 30 April 2021
Closing date of the call: 21 May at 6 pm (Paris time)
