The Embryo Project Encyclopedia is a collection of articles, scholarly interpretive essays, images and videos related to developmental biology and its history. To get a sense of the resources being prepared for the Embryo Project Encyclopedia, take a look at this article on Leonardo da Vinci. Each of the Encyclopedia resources is organized in a repository so that the relationships between them can be searched and visualized.

Partners in this project include the Marine Biological Laboratory, the Library of the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institute; Arizona State University Center for Biology and Society, and the Max Planck Institute for the History of Science in Berlin. The project editor is Jane Maienshein, current president of the History of Science Society.

The OU History of Science Collections has contributed Aristotle’s De animalium (1476) to the Embryo Project.
