Introduction
The Digital Embryology Consortium was first established in 2014. The objective of this international partnership is to digitise, preserve, and make available for researchers the major embryology histological collections. There currently exists worldwide only a few large collections of human embryological material. These collections are held in universities and associated research institutions as either whole fixed embryos or more commonly sectioned and histological stained. Many of these collections are historic between 30 to 100 years old. There have been previous attempts to partially document some of these collections, but the equipment and technology was not sufficiently developed to allow the process to be completed and in some cases the data was restricted in availability.
The collection curators will hold a complete digital copy of their collection and control all online copyright, citation and further reuse. The research project is not intended to change any existing controls that are held over these invaluable collections. An internet address (human-embryology.org) has been specifically allocated to remove any rebranding or re-association of the existing collections and would be seen as a collaborative research website between contributing institutions and researchers.
