AbstractThe use of different sources of evidence has been recommended in order to conduct species delimitation analyses to solve taxonomic issues. In this study, we use a maximum likelihood framework to combine morphological and molecular traits to study the case of Xylodon australis (Hymenochaetales, Basidiomycota) using the locate.yeti function from the phytools R package. Xylodon australis has been considered a single species distributed across Australia, New Zealand and Patagonia. Multi-locus phylogenetic analyses were conducted to unmask the actual diversity under X. australis as well as the kinship relations respect their relatives. To assess the taxonomic position of each clade, locate.yeti function was used to locate in a molecular phylogeny the X. australis type material for which no molecular data was available using morphological continuous traits. Two different species were distinguished under the X. australis name, one from Australia–New Zealand and other from Patagonia. In addition, a close relationship with Xylodon lenis, a species from the South East of Asia, was confirmed for the Patagonian clade. We discuss the implications of our results for the biogeographical history of this genus and we evaluate the potential of this method to be used with historical collections for which molecular data is not available.

An interesting incident at one of the London theatres, which has been overlooked by theatre historians, is recorded in the Historical Collections of Nehemiah Wallington, a citizen and turner of London. Wallington (1598–1658) operated a small independent business in Eastcheap and, in common with many other contemporaries of middling station, had a very pious cast of mind. For thirty years he compiled a collection of memorabilia of men and affairs, and particularly of events which revealed the workings of Providence. Early in 1642 he recorded the following:Mark the judgement of God upon one that stood in defence of plays, and to maintain them.

<p>O Projeto <strong>Memorial da Imprensa de Uberaba: criação da Hemeroteca Digital do Triângulo Mineiro e Alto Paranaíba </strong>constitui, provavelmente, o maior investimento do estado de Minas Gerais em um projeto individual na área de preservação de acervos documentais históricos. O projeto conta com o financiamento da Fundação de Amparo à Pesquisa do Estado de Minas Gerais (FAPEMIG). Foi concebido e vem sendo executado por parceria firmada entre a Secretaria de Estado de Ciência, Tecnologia e Ensino Superior (SECTES/MG) e a Secretaria de Estado de Cultura (SEC/MG), por meio do Arquivo Público Mineiro (APM), órgão coordenador do Projeto e da Superintendência de Bibliotecas Públicas (SUB). Conta ainda com a participação do Arquivo Público de Uberaba. A partir das diretrizes de regionalização da política cultural do Estado, o resultado principal do projeto será a implantação de um polo de digitalização de acervos documentais históricos no Arquivo Público de Uberaba, que deverá atuar como órgão catalizador e executor de projetos de digitalização nas regiões acima mencionadas. O projeto se fundamenta nas metodologias de organização, preservação e digitalização de acervos documentais preconizadas pelo <strong>Programa Conservação Preventiva em Bibliotecas e Arquivos</strong>, nas recomendações do Conselho Nacional de Arquivos (CONARQ) e nas regras do Código de Catalogação Anglo-americano (CCAA2).</p><p><strong><br /></strong></p><p><strong>Abstract</strong></p><p>“The Printing Press Memorial of Uberaba: the creation of the newspapers´ digital library of Triângulo Mineiro and Alto Paranaíba (Minas Gerais, Brazil)” is probably, the biggest project in the field of historical collections preservation ever funded by the Fundação de Amparo à Pesquisa do Estado de Minas Gerais – FAPEMIG. The project was conceived and has been carried out by the Secretaria de Estado de Ciência, Tecnologia e Ensino Superior, along with the Secretaria de Estado de Cultura, through the participation of the Arquivo Público Mineiro, the coordinating body, and the Superintendência de Bibliotecas Públicas. The<em> </em>Arquivo Público de Uberaba is the third body involved with the implementation of the project. In accordance with the regionalization policies of the State, the main achievement of the project shall be the creation of a digitalization center of historical collections in the Arquivo Público de Uberaba. This institution shall act as a regional agency for the development of digitalization projects in the regions of Triângulo Mineiro and Alto Paranaíba. The project is based on the methodologies of organization, preservation and digitalization of historical collections, recommended by the Programa de Conservação Preventiva em Bibliotecas e Arquivos, the guidelines of the Conselho Nacional de Arquivos<em> </em>(CONARQ) and the Anglo American Cataloguing Rules (AACR2).</p><p><strong>Keywords</strong>: Digitalization of Historical collections; Preservation of Historical Collections; Digital Libraries.</p>

One of the finest natural historical collections in Denmark in the first half of the nineteenth century, toward the end of the age of great private cabinets, was that of King Christian VIII (1786-1848, king from 1839). It was founded as the young Prince Christians instructional collection; the teaching took a strong hold on him, and the prince in time came to possess «a mineralogical and malacological collection of real scientific significance», a collection «to be reckoned with».

Five new species of thelotremoid Graphidaceae are described from the Philippines: Myriotrema subviride Rivas Plata, Sipman & Lücking, differing from Myriotrema viride in the more prominent ascomata and transversely septate ascospores; Ocellularia gigantospora Rivas Plata, Sipman & Lücking, differing from O. ripleyi in the uncarbonized, ecolumellate ascomata and the larger ascospores; O. leucocavata Rivas Plata, Sipman & Lücking, differing from O. cavata in the uncarbonized ascomata and the larger ascospores; O. sublaeviusculoides Rivas Plata, Sipman & Lücking, differing from O. laeviusculoides in the erumpent ascomata with black columella; and Thelotrema philippinum Rivas Plata, Sipman & Lücking, differing from Thelotrema suecicum in the stictic acid chemistry. The new combination Ocellularia megalospora (Müll. Arg.) Lücking is also proposed. Three of the new species are based on historical collections from vanished rain forest areas on the island of Luzon and are probably extinct, emphasizing the role of herbaria in documenting biotic diversity from threatened ecosystems.

The collective monograph is the result of scientific research on the history of book culture of Ukraine, conducted by scientists of the Institute of Bibliology of the Vernadsky National Library Of Ukraine during 2016-2018 on the basis of the funds of the departments of antique prints and rare editions, fine arts, music collections, foreign Ukrainiana, library collections and historical collections of the Library. The history of book culture of Ukraine of the XVI-XX centuries, which appears from the pages of this edition, has a multifaceted, but absolutely reliable character, as it is based on specific sources. For bibliologists, librarians, bibliographers, historians of national culture.
