It is a collaboration with the National Herbarium of Victoria, with researchers in Melbourne, the United Kingdom and Germany; the secretariat is based at the Herbarium. Ferdinand von Mueller was one of Australia's foremost nineteenth-century botanists who conducted a correspondence with people all over the world. His letters reflect his wide interests not just in botany but also in exploration, acclimatisation, and economic botany, and illuminate the workings of the Victorian civil service. The Project aims to find, edit and publish Mueller's prolific correspondence, with the cooperation of the repositories holding these letters: the ultimate aim is to produce a searchable database. Editors and others involved in the Project have published a range of papers on Mueller, his work, and science in Australia in the second half of the nineteenth-century.
